For Se and cobalamin, the daily intake of our patients (Se 48 ± 16 µg/day; cobalamin 3.5 µg/day) was slightly higher than the recommended daily averages (RDAs) (40 µg/day and 1.8 µg/day, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: Injecting ewes from a Se-deficient flock 4 weeks prior to mating with 48 or 60 mg Se and 12 or 15 mg vitamin B12 increased and maintained the Se status of ewes for at least 300 days, and of their lambs from birth to weaning.

A significant (P < 0.05) interaction of vitamin B12 and selenium was found on growth of rats fed vitamin B12 deficient or control diets.
Rats pair-fed 9 mg/kg selenium with vitamin B12 had significantly lower liver and kidney selenium levels and significantly higher blood selenium levels compared to rats fed the diet without vitamin B12.
