AB  - The effects of selenium-methionine (Se-Met) and chromium-methionine (Cr-Met) 
      supplementation on performance and response to transportation stress were studied 
      on 24 Baluchi ewe lambs (18-20 weeks of age) for 9 weeks. The lambs were randomly 
      assigned to four dietary treatments: (1) control; (2) 1.5 mg supplemental 
      Se-Met/kg dry matter (DM) of diet; (3) 0.8 mg supplemental Cr-Met/kg DM of diet; 
      and (4) 1.5 mg Se-Met plus 0.8 mg Cr-Met/kg DM of diet (Se-Cr-Met). At the 
      commencement of week 8, a road transportation stress (TS) was carried out for 30 
      min. Lambs fed Cr-Met and Se-Cr-Met diets had higher feed intake than the control 
      and Se-Met animals (P < 0.0001). Lambs on Cr-Met diet showed higher average daily 
      gain (ADG) compared to the control group (P = 0.007). Se-Met and Cr-Met 
      supplementation alone or in combination significantly (P < 0.05) reduced feed 
      conversion ratio (FCR). The animals that received Se-Met (P = 0.014), Cr-Met 
      (P = 0.005), and Se-Cr-Met (P = 0.003) supplemented diets had lower glucose 
      concentration than the control. Lambs on Cr-Met had higher blood T3 concentration 
      than control animals (P = 0.040), while Cr-Met (P = 0.039) and Se-Cr-Met 
      (P = 0.032) supplementation increased triiodothyronine (T3) to thyroxin (T4) 
      ratio. Animals fed Se-Met and/or Cr-Met supplements had lower blood 
      malondialdehyde (MDA) in week 9 of the experiment (P < 0.05). Blood 
      ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) tended to be higher in the Se-Met- and 
      Se-Cr-Met-supplemented groups (P < 0.1).TS reduced feed intake in lambs fed the 
      control diet in week 8 of the experiment (P = 0.003). The lambs given with 
      supplemental Cr-Met exhibited lower glucose concentration before transportation 
      (BT) (P = 0.029) and after transportation (AT) (P = 0.016) compared to the 
      control. Lambs fed Se-Cr-Met had the lowest cortisol concentration BT (P < 0.05). 
      It was concluded that feeding Se-Met and/or Cr-Met supplements could improve 
      growth performance and be beneficial in attenuating the adverse effects of 
      transportation stress in Baluchi ewe lambs.
