Selenium is commonly used in the poultry industry as an additive in broiler feed to improve immunity and overall health. The selenium comes in different forms, inorganic and organic selenium, as sodium selenite and selenomethionine, respectively. This study proposes the use of nanoparticles of selenium (nanoSe) for improved delivery and absorption of the trace element while causing no toxicity. Previous studies have shown the success in utilizing nanoSe in broiler feed, with increased absorption and diffusion of material into organs and tissues, and increased antioxidant capacity. However, the mechanism of nanoSe conversion remains unknown, and the gut microbiota is believed to play a significant role in the process. The use of inorganic selenium in poultry feed demonstrated a lower bioavailability in breast (P
