ABSTRACT The study was carried out with the objective of investigating the enrichment of weaned piglet diets with selenium proteinate (SeP) and sodium selenite (SeS) at two inclusion levels. A total of 40 piglets, averaging 6.60 ± 1.06 kg, were assigned to five dietary treatments: a control diet, and diets supplemented with selenium proteinate (0.15 or 0.30 mg/kg) or sodium selenite (0.15 or 0.30 mg/kg). The SeP-0.30 diet reduced average daily feed intake (ADFI) (P
