AB  - To examine the effects of maternal energy restriction along with 
      selenium-methionine (Se-Met) and chromium-methionine (Cr-Met) supplementation on 
      performance of pregnant sheep and their offspring, the following treatments were 
      allotted randomly to 40 multiparous Baluchi ewes (53.9 +/- 1.15 kg of body weight 
      [BW]) from 5 weeks prior to 5 weeks after parturition: (1) Control diet (60% and 
      100% of NRC energy requirements in pre- and post-partum, respectively); (2) 
      Control diet plus 5 mg Se-Met/kg dry matter (DM); (3) Control diet plus 3 mg 
      Cr-Met/kg DM and (4) Control diet plus 5 mg Se-Met and 3 mg Cr-Met/kg DM 
      (Se-Cr-Met) of concentrate diet. The results indicated that Cr-Met alone or in 
      combination with Se-Met increased average DM intake of ewes. In addition, Group 
      Cr-Met had higher average BW than the Control (p < 0.05). Se-Met and/or Cr-Met 
      supplementation led to decreased average serum cholesterol of the ewes 
      (p < 0.05). Groups Cr-Met and Se-Cr-Met displayed decreased average serum 
      malondialdehyde compared to the Control (p < 0.05). At 24 h post-partum, Group 
      Se-Cr-Met had a greater serum Se content than the Control (p = 0.006). Compared 
      with the Control, the Se concentration in milk was significantly increased from 
      30 to 138 microg/l and 197 microg/l in Groups Se-Met and Se-Cr-Met, respectively 
      (p < 0.01), which proved that Se-Met supplementation can increase the Se 
      concentration of ewe milk. Furthermore, feeding Cr-Met may attenuate BW loss 
      post-partum and Se-Met and/or Cr-Met supplements may ameliorate oxidative stress 
      condition in ewes around parturition.
