Selisseo as an Organic Selenium

  • Home Fresh has superior levels (18 to 66% higher) of Se in whole eggs compared to the competition. In other analysis, our team found that only one competitor’s feed met the protein guarantee while Home Fresh layer did. In addition, one competitor feed had a deoxynivalenol (DON; vomitoxin) level of 4.3 ppm which can potentially impair immune function. Most of the other competitive feeds, as well as the KNG product, had DON levels that were less than or equal to 1 ppm. Read more about the research here.
