Zinc selenite

Zinc selenite (CAS 13597-46-1), also referenced by the formula ZnSeO3, is an inorganic salt supplying both zinc and selenium in a single compound.

Where is Zinc selenite used?

• Nutritional and biological applications: dual-mineral source for controlled selenium delivery
• Animal feed and livestock nutrition: selenium supplementation against deficiency-related conditions in poultry, swine, and ruminants
• Pharmaceutical formulations: selenium source in mineral supplements, tablets and premixes for trace element replenishment
• Biotechnology and cell culture research: selenium for antioxidant enzyme activity in defined growth media
• Soil amendment programs and foliar treatments correct selenium-deficient soils in crop production.

Good to know: Precise dosing is critical for regulatory compliance in animal feed and livestock nutrition. Buyers sourcing for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical use should confirm grade documentation, including certificate of analysis and trace metal impurity profiles, prior to procurement.

Commercial specifications

• Purity confirmed by assay against recognized standards such as USP, BP, or EP
