Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental
vitamin E and (or) Se, provided either in the diet or by injection, on
humoral antibody production in weanling swine after an antigenic
challenge with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). In the first experiment,
a 2 x 2 factorial design was used, with pigs fed either 0 or .5 ppm Se
and 0 or 220 IU vitamin E/kg diet. The basal diet contained a natural
Se and {alpha}-tocopherol content of .02 ppm and 7 mg/kg,
respectively. In a second 2 x 2 factorial trial, 0 or 6 mg Se and 0 or
220 mg {alpha}-tocopherol were injected intramuscularly into weanling
pigs fed the basal diet without supplemental Se or vitamin E. A fifth
treatment group was fed a positive control diet containing both
nutrients (.5 ppm Se and 220 IU vitamin E/kg). In both experiments,
intraperitoneal injections of SRBC (1 x 108) were administered weekly,
with hemagglutination titers determined at these intervals.
Hemagglutination assays indicated that vitamin E and Se independently
enhanced the immune response, particularly during the latter weeks of
the experiment. The combination of both nutrients, provided either in
the diet or via injection, resulted in a further increase in
hemagglutination titers, suggesting an additive response. Pigs
receiving either Se or vitamin E had higher serum concentrations of
the nutrient provided. Dietary sources of these nutrients resulted in
greater serum and tissue levels than did injections.
