“…Scienti c documents emphasize that Se and Cr are a promising agent for combating the adverse effects of stress in animals and is a strong antioxidant that prevents heat stress-induced lipid per-oxidation, improves nutrient metabolism and cortisol hormone activity, promotes insulin action in responsive tissues, thereby increasing farm animal productivity (Bin-Jumah, et al, 2020). Recent ndings suggest that dietary high chromium-methionine supplementation in summer-exposed animals improves blood antioxidant status and feed to gain e ciency without adverse effects on lambs' health and metabolism (Seifalinasab et al, 2021). Accompanying these studies, Biswas et al…”

“…It has been reported that dietary supplementation of Se or Cr alone or their co-supplementation improves animal production performance and relives negative effects of summer heat stress (Bin-Jumah, et al, 2020;Domínguez-Vara, et al, 2009). Recent ndings suggest that dietary high Cr-methionine supplementation in summer-exposed lambs improves blood antioxidant status and feed to gain e ciency without adverse effects on lambs' health and metabolism (Seifalinasab et al, 2021). Accompanying these studies, Biswas et al, (2014) reported that 500 or 750 µg/kg Cr-picolinate in diet of adult male turkeys in summer improve sperm concentration, progressive motility and fertility.…”

The effects of organic selenium (Se) alone or combined with organic chromium (Cr) on semen quality and metabolites and blood antioxidant status was evaluated during the summer in rams. Fourteen Mehraban rams (2-4 years, BSC 2.5-3.5, initial body weight 70.14 kg) were divided in to four groups (n=4) and two levels of Se (0 and 0.6 mg/ram/day, inactive dry Se-yeast) were tested at two levels of Cr (0 and 1 mg/ram/day, Cr-methionine) in a completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial layout for 60 days. Body weight changes and scrotal circumference (SC) were recorded fortnightly. Semen quality and metabolites, rams libido, spermatozoa motion characteristics, blood ferric reducing ability (FRAP) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured during the experiment. Body weight, dry mater intake and SC were not affected by treatments. Chromium alone increased FRAP, libido and sperm linearity and combined with Se increased spermatozoa viability, membrane integrity and decreased semen glucose and alkaline phosphatase activity (P≤0.05). Main effect of Cr tended to increase EV (P=0.095). Abnormal spermatozoa and TBARS decreased by Cr, Se or by their combination. Selenium alone had higher sperm concentration compared to its combination with Cr (P≤0.05). Average path velocity was numerically higher by Se alone and curvilinear velocity was lower by combined with Cr, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). In conclusion, Cr and Se supplementation of rams during the summer improved semen quality and blood antioxidant status. However, co-supplementation of Cr and Se had no more additional effects on studied parameters.

“…However, as noted by Dallago et al (2013), opinions differ on whether it has a major impact on immune system operations and blood cells. In contrast, Seifalinasab et al (2022) reported opposing findings, showing that Cr supplementation up to 0.5 mg had no effect on lambs' blood cell counts. Similar to this, Kegley et al (1996) discovered no alteration in WBC counts in calves after Cr ingestion.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of chromium and zinc dietary supplements in an organic form on some productive performance and physiological responses in growing Zaraibi goats. Twenty eight male Zaraibi goats (4 months old, 15.72 ±1.40 kg BW) were allocated randomly into four treatment groups (7 animals in each). The first group (T1) was given a control diet without supplements. The control diet contained 3 mg/kg from organic chromium (Cr) was given to the second treatment group (T2). The third group (T3) received the control diet containing 40 mg/kg of organic zinc (Zn), whereas the fourth treatment group (T4) was fed on the control diet containing 3 mg Cr + 40 mg Zn/kg. The experimental period was 90 days included a 10-day digestibility trails. Results showed that, animals in groups T2, T3, and T4 had higher values for daily dry matter intake (DMI), final body weight (FBW), average daily gain (ADG), and total gain (TG) as compared to the control group (T1). Organic Cr and Zn supplementations improved feed efficiency and feed conversion ratio. The digestibility coefficients and feeding values of the treated groups were improved than those of the control group. The serum total antioxidant capacity, were significantly higher in groups fed Cr or Zn-diets than in the control group. Thus, administration of Cr and Zn in organic form has a significant impact on Zaraibi goats growth and digestion, as well as improved antioxidant and biochemical parameters.

“…Seifalinasab et al [109] studied the effect of dietary treatments with chromium supplementation on male lambs (Jiroft, Iran) (8-9 months old, average body weight of 31.9 ± 1.2 kg). Blood sample was taken in heparinized tubes and SOD activity was measured with a commercial kit Ransod (Randox Laboratories Ltd., Antrim, UK).…”

An Overview on Assay Methods to Quantify ROS and Enzymatic Antioxidants in Erythrocytes and Spermatozoa of Small Domestic Ruminants

The present review aims to provide an overview of the assay methods for the quantification of ROS and principal enzymatic antioxidants as biomarkers of oxidative stress in erythrocytes and spermatozoa of small domestic ruminants. A complete literature search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus and the World Wide Web using relevant keywords and focusing on the last five years (2018–2023). Among spectrophotometry, fluorometry and chemiluminescence, the most widely used method for ROS assay is fluorometry, probably because it allows to simultaneously assay several ROS, using different probes, with greater economic advantages. Regarding intracellular antioxidant enzymes, recent literature reports only spectrophotometric methods, many of which use commercial kits. The use of a less sensitive but cheapest method is suitable because both erythrocytes and spermatozoa samples are highly concentrated in domestic ruminant species. All methods considered in this review have been found to be appropriate; in general, the differences are related to their costs and sensitivity. Quantification of ROS and enzymatic antioxidant activity in erythrocytes and spermatozoa may find application in the study of the welfare and health status of small domestic ruminants for monitoring livestock production.
