Company aims for €220m organic selenium sales in EU

THE EU has authorised the renewed use of organic selenium in animal diets, following a 2005 European Commission decision to re-classify the product.

In April 2005, Kentucky, US-based Alltech and other manufacturers of organic selenium feed additives were forced to withdraw their products from sale in the European Union.

Alltech had little choice but to tell customers in the EU that Sel-Plex, its flagship yeast-based organic selenium product, was no longer available.
