This study is review of previous research on the effect of selenium on health, productive and reproductive traits of farm animals. The interest for research on selenium has originated from the knowledge that this nutrient has distinctive antioxidant role in cells, thus preventing tissue damages mediated by free radicals. By performing different biological activities in the organism, selenium becomes an essential element for preserving health and improving productive and reproductive characteristics. It has a very important role in the functions of immune system, so that during deficiency its feed supplementation in suitable quantities results in improving immune response. A supplemented level of selenium into feeds of farm animals can provide adequate basal concentrations necessary for the protection of both against oxidative activities of free radicals created during physiological processes and external harmful factors.
