| Abstract | The accumulation of selenium in Coturnix quail, a sensitive species to selenium toxicity, was studied. Quail were fed diets containing 0.7 µg/g (control), 12 µg/g (low-Se), and 22 µg/g (high-Se) as seleno-L-methionine for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, blood selenium in the treatment groups had a positive significant relationship to diet, and selenium in blood was approximately two times, and in livers was approximately three times, the dietary concentration. Quail in the low-Se group accumulated selenium to higher levels over the same time period than American kestrels and mallards fed selenomethionine at similar concentrations in other studies. Food consumption was similar among the groups throughout the study. Body mass, as a percent of initial body mass, was similar in the control and low-Se groups (102%) but lower in the high-Se group (97%). Liver mass, as a percent of initial body mass, showed a positive dose-dependent response to dietary selenium, and liver mass was significantly higher in quail fed 22 µg Se/g than in control quail. Unlike other species studied, accumulation of selenium in blood did not plateau but continued to increase until the study ended. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
