| This study was conducted at the Poultry Farm, Department of Animal Resources, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, during the period from 21/ 2 / 2013 to 7 / 9 / 2013. The aim of this experiment was to compare the effect of supplementation of organic and inorganic selenium to the diet on semen traits of lohman hens roosters. (63) males of Lohman Brown, (20) weeks old were used in this study. Birds were reared during experimental period at the cages, and at 22 weeks old of age, birds were randomly distributed into 7 treatment groups with 3 replicates in each treatment group, so (3 males for replicates, 9 males for treatment). Control group T1 were fed on basal diet, and inorganic selenium (sodium selenite) were supplemented treatments, T2, T3 and T4 with 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mg / kg feed respectively, and organic selenium (sel-plex) were supplemented to treatments, T5, T6 and T7 with 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mg / kg feed respectively. Supplementation of organic selenium (sel-plex) and inorganic selenium (sodium selenite) was used from (22) weeks of age until the end of the experiment, at (39) weeks old. The results showed that there was Significant improvement concerning semen traits which included ejaculate volume, mass and individual motility of spermatozoa, spermatozoa concentration, percentages of abnormal and dead spermatozoa and acrosomal abnormalities, spermatocrit and semen quality factor with superiority of the effect of supplementation of organic selenium compared with inorganic selenium. T6 (0.5 mg / organic selenium sel-plex / kg feed) recorded the best results with respect in traits included in this study as compared with other treatment of selenium. | ||
