The aim of the study was to investigate whether synergism of selenium and cobalt preparations occur if jointly administered to three-year-old ewes of the Suffolk breed. Four groups were formed: Se, Co, Se+Co and control, each of 15 ewes. Blood samples were taken one month before mating and 2 weeks after the second selenium injection (the 3rd month of pregnancy). The results indicate that the fertility, prolificacy and the number of twins in the Se group was the highest (87, 131 and 62 %). However, a higher number of stillborn lambs (18 and 26 %) and lower weaned rate (100 and 92%) were observed in the Se and control groups respectively. Wherefore, the best production results were achieved by the ewes of the Se+Co group (prolificacy 127% and weaned rate 118%).
