<div class="abstract-group "><div class="article-section__content en main"><p>Five female mallards<span> </span><i>(Anas platyrhynchos)</i><span> </span>that had just started egg laying were first fed a diet containing 15 ppm selenium in the form of selenomethionine for 20 d and then an untreated diet for 20 d. Selenium levels in eggs peaked (to about 13-20 ppm) in about two weeks on the treated diet and leveled off at a low level (< 5 ppm) after about 10 d back on the untreated diet. Selenium levels in egg whites responded faster than levels in yolks to the females' consumption of treated and untreated diets.</p></div></div><div class="accordion article-accordion"><div class="accordion__control" aria-expanded="false" data-references="/action/ajaxShowEnhancedAbstract?widgetId=5cf4c79f-0ae9-4dc5-96ce-77f62de7ada9&ajax=true&doi=10.1002%2Fetc.5620120419&pbContext=%3Bissue%3Aissue%3Adoi%5C%3A10.1002%2Fetc.v12%253A4%3Bpage%3Astring%3AArticle%2FChapter+View%3Bctype%3Astring%3AJournal+Content%3BsubPage%3Astring%3AAbstract%3Bjournal%3Ajournal%3A15528618%3BrequestedJournal%3Ajournal%3A15528618%3Bwebsite%3Awebsite%3Asetac%3Bwgroup%3Astring%3APublication+Websites%3BpageGroup%3Astring%3APublication+Pages%3Barticle%3Aarticle%3Adoi%5C%3A10.1002%2Fetc.5620120419&accordionHeadingWrapper=h2&onlyLog=true"><span id="references-section-1" class="section__title">References</span></div></div>
