Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for animals and humans, and it is present in many different forms with different levels of bioaccessibility in food. Based on the maldistribution of Se and overall low level of Se dietary intake in China, an integrated study was conducted in this thesis to provide references for the regulation of Se nutrition. An in vitro simulation test was used to monitor the concentration effects, the impacts of dietary supplement combinations on the bioaccessibility of Se were examined in rice, and a model animal experiment (in vivo) was used to evaluate the practicability of the Se nutrition regulation scheme. The main results were as follows: the bioaccessibility of Se was effectively increased by 30 mg·d−1 VE (VE), 300 mg·d−1 VC + 300 μg·d−1 VB9 (VC+VB9) and 30 mg·d−1 VE + 300 mg·d−1 VC + 300 μg·d−1 VB9 (3IN1) (P < 0.05). The results of the healthy broiler tests showed that the 3 treatments increased the weight and Se content of the broilers, and 3IN1 had the most significant effect (P < 0.05). VC+VB9 was the best at promoting GPx activity, while 3IN1 was the best at promoting SOD activity and the inhibition of MDA content in broilers. The results suggested that VE, VC+VB9 and 3IN1 can benefit the bioavailability of Se and the antioxidant capacity of the body. The results can be used as a scientific reference for Se nutrition regulation.
