Abstract A study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary selenium (Se) concentration and source for weanling pigs on serum Se, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and performance. A total of 120 weanling pigs with an average weight of 6.87 ± 0.4 kg were assigned to 4 diets with 10 pigs per cage and 3 replicates per treatment. The experimental diets were fed for 28 days in 2 phases (phase 1, d 0–14; and phase 2, d 15–28). Treatments were: Control (without Se supplementation), sodium selenite (INO; 0.30 ppm), hot melt extruded sodium selenite (HME; 0.30 ppm), and selenomethionine (ORG; 0.3 ppm). There were significant responses (P
