Our highly performing broilers are like athletes. To transform the huge amount of feed eaten everyday their mitochondria need to function tremendously producing ATP and heat but also lots of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) detrimental to the optimal functioning of the animals.
We thus  need to help them to deal to buffer the ROS potential, supplying them with efficient antioxidant solutions such as organic Selenium, key in the selenoproteins.
