CON, basal diet; CS4, CON + 0.2 ppm selenomethionine and 0.2 ppm organic chromium; CS8, CON + 0.4 ppm selenomethionine and 0.4 ppm organic chromium.
Means within column with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05).
SeMet, selenomethionine; WHC, water holding capacity; DL, drip loss; CL, cooking loss; SF, shear force.
