Monensin is an ionophore antibiotic, a monovalent cationic substance, used in veterinary practice principally as a coccidiostat in poultry and a growth promoter in cattle. This study was designed to evaluate the pretreatment of selenium and/or vitamin E and vitamin E + selenium in broilers given normal and high doses of monensin. For this purpose, 172 broiler chicks (Ross PM-3) were used in the study. These were splitted into two groups up the 15th day. In the 1st group , 15 of these chicks were maintained and fed without monensin, selenium and vitamin E. Other chicks were fed with monensin (110 ppm), vitamin E (11 ppm) and selenium (0.1 ppm). On the 15th day the second group was splitted into 12 groups, each having 12 chicks (In the study, 2 animals died belonging to the 3rd and 4th group 330 ppm monensin, to 5th group 220 ppm monensin +33 ppm vitamin E + 0.5 ppm selenium, to 8th group 330 ppm monensin + 33 ppm vitamin E, to 9th group 330 ppm monensin +0.5 ppm selenium, to 10 th group 330 ppm monensin +33 ppm vitamin E + 0.5 ppm selenium, to 11th group 110 ppm monensin +33 ppm vitamin E, to 12th group 110 ppm monensin +0.5 ppm selenium and 13th group 110 ppm monensin + 33 pm vitamin E + 0.5 ppm selenium was given
