Sodium selenite (encapsulated as doses of 1.4 mg, 2.6 mg and 4.2 mg per kilogram of body weight) was given orally on a daily basis to male weaner pigs, and features of these animals were compared to a control group. Porcine focal symmetrical poliomyelomalacia was produced in all experimental groups between 3 and 20 days after initiation of the treatment. Analysis of blood and several tissues revealed an elevated selenium content for all pigs. Histological lesions in the brain and the cervical lumbar/sacral spinal cord enlargements included endothelial proliferation, neuronal degeneration, microcavitation and glial cell reaction.
