Selenium content in meat and poultry in Orenburg Region

AbstractSelenium content in beef, pork and poultry from Orenburg Region has been investigated. Regions with low (beef <112 mcg/kg, pork – about 200 mcg/kg, poultry <127 mcg/kg), medium and high (beef>300 mcg/kg; pork – about 600 mcg/kg; poultry – 170–180 mcg/kg) selenium levels are indicated. Positive correlations between selenium content in meat and soil are demonstrated (beef/soil +0,558, р<0,001; pork/soil +0,557, р<0,001; poultry/soil +0,389, р<0,05). Meat contribution to selenium consumption is equal to: beef – 4,6%, pork – 6%, poultry – 2,6%.
