Abstract: 2000 chickens of one day old, were selected and then randomly divided into two groups.In the experimental group, chickens were stocked and supplemented selenium through different channels. In the control group,chickens were stocked under the same condition,but were not supplemented selenium. Compare selenium contents of chest muscles, sternum, liver and serum of the two groups,and then study the difference. At the same time,study the effects of supplementing selenium on the chest nutrients, carcass characteristics and organ coefficient. The results showed that the amount of selenium in chest muscles, sternum, liver and serum of the experimental group chickens was extremely higher than that of the other group chickens (P <0.01),but there was no significant difference in the chest nutrients, carcass characteristics and organ coefficient between the two groups(P> 0.05).

Key words: chickens; selenium; chest muscle; carcass characteristics; organ coefficient
