Sažetak
Selenium is an important trace element in human and animal nutrition. The aim of this research is to present the methods/procedures that are undertaken in the process of enrichment of lamb meat with selenium. Various nutritional modifications can significantly change (primarily improve) the mineral content in lamb meat and thus selenium. Selenium intake in lambs varies due to changes in the elemental composition of plant species during the season, and the concentration in the feed mixture. Nutritional factors have a significant impact on the selenium content in lamb meat. Selenium of organic origin, especially originating from biofortified feeds, shows better availability compared to the inorganic source and it has been used to improve health and productivity as well as be a way in the process of enriching lamb meat with selenium naturally. The analysis of previous research shows a significant impact of selenium supplementation (organic forms) or used biofortified feeds with selenium in lamb feed on its content in lamb meat and this is the way to be used in the process of enriching lamb meat with selenium.
