The paper deals with questions of the importance of selenium in the food chain. The significance for the health condition of humans is described. The main part deals with the possibilities how to increase the selenium content in milk. The increased selenium content in milked was noticed after feeding the organic selenium in a feed ration for dairy cows. The increase in selenium content after 8th week of feeding was up to 288%, i.e. from the level 0.048 micro g/l to the level 0.138 micro g/l. Not only the selenium content increased markedly in milk but the health status in cows improved as well. It was documented by the decrease of SCC content from 229.3 x 10E3/ml to 174.5 x 10E3/ml. The increase of selenium content in milk within the food chain contributes to the improvement of health status in population
