The aim of the trial was to evaluate the impact of feeding organic forms of Se on the performance of broiler breeders, hatching results and quality characteristics of their progeny. Feeding organic Se (0.3 ppm) increased the numbers of eggs laid and breeder peak performance. Organic Se group had a 7% higher yolk content in hatching eggs, fewer unfertile eggs, culls and less embryonic death during incubation. Body weight and length of day-old chicks were significantly higher for those from the breeders fed organic Se compared to the inorganic control.
