Animal-based food for human consumption is a good dietary source of selenium in Serbia. The highest selenium concentration was found in eggs with an average of 195 microg/kg. Selenium in meat sold at Serbian markets was in the range 44-157 microg/kg for beef, 90-135 for chicken and 87-189 microg/kg for pork. Milk produced in Serbia is not rich in selenium as the average content was only 11.6 microg/l. Taking into consideration selenium food content and daily food consumption, pork was the richest source of human selenium intake in Serbia. The resuls regarding the selenium content in poultry meat, beef and milk corresponded to those reported for year 1991, while selenium level in pork and eggs were elevated.
