Abstract
The article evaluates the feeding of different amounts of organic selenium to growing Romanov sheep from 3 to 6 months of age. It was found that the basic diets of feeding young sheep are not sufficient in terms of selenium content, which reduces the digestibility of nutrients in diets and body weight dynamics. Optimization of the selenium nutrition of growing sheep increased the digestibility of all the main feed nutrients and the dynamics of daily gains, as well as reduced the cost of metabolic energy and crude protein per 1 kg of animal body weight gain.
