The aim of this study was to assess how dietary supplementation of organic seleniumaffected carcass and meat quality, tissue selenium content and glutathione peroxidaseactivity in ducks. The study was performed on 240 one-day old ducklings of the same origin(Cherry Valley hybrid), during a 49-day period, that were fed diets supplemented withfour different levels of selenium yeast (ALKOSEL® R397): groups with 0 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg,0.4 mg/kg and 0.6 mg/kg added Se. Live weight, carcass characteristics, meat quality characteristics,chemical composition of meat, selenium content in plasma, feces, liver and meat,as well as plasma glutathione peroxidase activity were determined. Animals fed high Sediets (0.4 mg/kg) had higher live weight (P < 0.05) compared to those fed diets with inadequate(0 mg/kg) or with supranutritional (0.6 mg/kg) Se levels. Chemical analysis of meatrevealed differences in moisture, protein and lipid content among compared groups. Breastmeat from the group with the highest dietary Se (0.6 mg/kg) had a higher protein content(P < 0.01) compared to breast meat from groups with 0 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg added Se. Sesupplementation increased significantly Se levels in plasma, liver and muscles, as well asactivity of glutathione peroxidase in plasma
