Mechanism of action
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other cellular structures against oxidative damage by preventing the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and reducing lipid peroxidation.
Selenium is an essential trace element for the synthesis of selenoproteins, including the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx). This enzyme plays a key role in neutralizing hydrogen peroxides and lipid peroxides and in maintaining the oxidation–reduction balance within cells.
Through their complementary actions within the antioxidant defense system, vitamin E and selenium prevent oxidative damage to cells and cell membranes, and help maintain the normal function of muscles, the immune system, and the reproductive system.

Target species
Poultry, cattle, calves, sheep, and goats
Indications
AlfaZand® is indicated for the prevention and treatment of disorders caused by deficiency of vitamin E and/or selenium including:
Poultry
• Encephalomalacia (Crazy Chick Disease)
• Exudative diathesis
• Nutritional muscular dystrophy
• Growth retardation associated with vitamin E and/or selenium deficiency
• Reduced egg production and reduced hatchability under conditions of vitamin E and/or selenium deficiency
• Support of normal immune function, particularly under deficiency conditions or increased nutritional requirements
• Helping to reduce the incidence of and mortality associated with ascites syndrome
In breeder flocks, adequate supply of vitamin E and selenium can help maintain reproductive performance, egg quality, and hatchability.
Cattle, calves, sheep, and goats
• Nutritional muscular dystrophy (White Muscle Disease)
• Weakness and impaired muscle function associated with deficiency
• Support of normal immune function under deficiency conditions
• Support of reproductive performance in animals with vitamin E and/or selenium deficiency
• Helping to prevent reproductive disorders associated with deficiency, including an increased incidence of retained placenta under deficiency conditions
