Effects of inorganic and organic selenium sources on the growth performance of broilers in China: A meta-analysis

This study aims to investigate the effects of different selenium (Se) sources on the growth performance of Chinese broilers and provide a scientific rationale for adding Se additives to broiler feed. Relevant studies that meet standard inclusion criteria were identified and extracted from China Nati...
