Get The Most Out of Your Organic Selenium Supplementation With Selisseo®
Selisseo® is the only pure form of organic selenium in-feed suppliment.
WHY SELISSEO® ?
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace mineral for animal nutrition.
Hydroxy-Selenomethionine (OH-SeMet), Selenium, plays a key role in antioxidant defense, immunity, reproduction, and inflammatory modulation processes. While inorganic, Se is commonly used for feed supplements. Recent research confirmed that organic Se, specifically selenomethionine (SeMet) or hydroxy-selenomethionine (OH-SeMet), is much more easily integrated into the body.
Selisseo® is FDA approved for use in poultry, swine, and cattle in the US and approved for use in all species in Canada.
CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES
100% PURE OH-SeMet
On average, Selenium Yeast products contain 60% SeMet and the amount of SeMet varies from batch to batch, while Selisseo® is the only pure form of organic Selenium that consistently provides 100% selenium as OH-SeMet, batch after batch.
HER BENEFITS
Selisseo® maintains higher the milk yield and milk quality under challenging conditions (such as parturition and heat stress), while enhancing the cow’s antioxidant functions
- Improved dairy cow Se status: Increased Se storage in both the plasma (+125% vs SS (1), +7% vs SY (2)) and milk (+22.8% vs SS(1) + 18% vs SY (2))
- Better antioxidant status: higher activity of glutathione peroxidase (+46%) and Total antioxidant capacity (+19.6% vs SS)(1)
- Lower somatic cell count:
- 0.1 ppm Selisseo delivered similar results to Selenium Yeast 0.3 ppm
- 0.3 ppm Selisseo (recommended usage) provided a 64% SCC reduction compared to Selenium Yeast (2)
- Lower drop in milk yield: When under heat stress: +9.3% vs SS (6)
- Positive modulation of several oxidative stress biomarkers under heat stress conditions:
- Improved total antioxidant capacity (+20% vs SS) (36)
- Lower plasma H2 O2 (-18.5% vs SS) (34)
- Lower plasma nitric oxide (-22.9% vs SS) (3)
BENEFITS FOR CALVES
Selisseo® allows selenium to be transferred from the dam to the calf, promoting calf health.
- Higher Se content in heifers plasma:
- +13% at 2 weeks pre-calving & +16% at calving vs SS (4)
- Higher SeMet transfer:
- +99% Se in the form of SeMet in heifers plasma 3 weeks pre-calving vs SS (4)
- Increased Se status of newborn calves:
- +14% vs SS (5)

Determination.
Seleno-Yeasts (SY) used as feed additives are known to contain diferent Selenium (Se) species. Seleno-Yeasts has been shown, on previous analytical methods, to contain selenomethionine (SeMet), selenocysteine (SeCys), selenate (SeIV) and selenite (SeVI), and various other organic and inorganic Se forms identifed but rarely quantifed…

Introducing Selisseo, 100% hydroxy-selenomethionine (OH-SeMet), a pure and highly-available form of organic selenium.
In this 4 part video series on Selisseo®, we enlist the help of key Adisseo employees to explain the creation and uses of Adisseo’s pure organic selenium, a nutritional feed supplement for livestock.
Effective selenium supplementation provides optimal antioxidant protection, and ensures the performance of dairy cows and calves, particularly during times of stress, to maintain a higher level of both milk yield and quality.
In animals and humans, Selenium deficiency is associated with compromised immunity and increased susceptibility to various diseases including the recent epidemic caused by COVID-19.
