Abstract: Selenium is an essential trace element in animals which plays an important role in anti-oxidation defense, immunity, and maintenance of normal growth, development and reproduction of animals. Due to its advantages of low toxicity, high biological activity and minor environmental pollution, nano-selenium has a broad application prospect in livestock and poultry production. The purpose of this paper is to review the research progress on the application of nano-selenium as a new selenium source in animal husbandry industry from the aspects of its basic information, function, application and corresponding limitation, in hoping to provide reference for the application of nano-selenium in animal husbandry industry.

Key words: nano-selenium, bioactivity, animal husbandry industry
