Cows were fed diets either supplemented with .2 ppm Se and 70 IU vitamin E/kg diet DM (21 cows) or unsupplemented (40 cows) during the dry period (
60 d). From parturition to 21 d of lactation, cows were fed diets that were either supplemented with .3 ppm Se and 40 IU/kg vitamin E or unsupplemented. At d 21 following parturition, 18 cows fed the unsupplemented diet were switched to diets containing 0 or .3 ppm supplemental Se and 0 or 40 IU/kg supplemental vitamin E arranged factorially. These diets were fed for the next 32 d. The remaining cows continued on their respective diets for 32 d. Plasma Se concentrations averaged .1 µg/ml for supplemented cows but were .05 µg/ml for unsupplemented cows. Plasma Se concentration from cows fed supplemental Se from 21 to 53 d postpartum increased rapidly and were not different from long-term supplemented cows. Whole blood glutathione peroxidase activity was lower in unsupplemented than in supplemented cows. Short-term Se supplementation increased glutathione peroxidase activity above that for unsupplemented animals, but activity was still less than that in long-term supplemented animals. Plasma 
-tocopherol concentrations at parturition and d 21 postpartum were lower in unsupplemented than in supplemented animals. On d 53 postpartum, no differences in plasma -tocopherol concentrations were found between long-term supplemented and unsupplemented cows. Supplementing vitamin E during the dry period increased -tocopherol content of colostrum.
