Three different preparations containing Se and vitamin E were tested for their effects on Se status and reproductive performance of goats. The experiment was carried out in a mountainous area where nutritional muscular dystrophy in lambs had previously been diagnosed. Experimental groups were treated twice with Duphafral (group B), Evitaselen (group C) or Muvisel (group D). The treated groups had a slightly higher percentage of kidded goats, number of kids born, number of kids born per goat (except group C), percent of goats with twins (except group C), and a lower male/female ratio. Up to the age of three months 6.06 of nutritional muscular dystrophy was registered only in the control group.
