“…Similarly, the mean of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides level decreased, whereas the mean of the HDL cholesterol significantly increased. This result is in agreement with other reports [19,21], but Cupo and Donaldson [12] demonstrated that Cr had no effect on serum cholesterol content in chicks fed 20 mg/kg Cr as CrCl3. Likewise, Uyanik et al [45]) reported that total and LDL cholesterol decreased, whereas HDL cholesterol significantly increased after supplementation of 400 g/kg inorganic Cr in lambs, but triglycerides were lower than the control with marked differences in the 400 g/kg Cr group.…”

A total of 250 broilers in a completely randomized design selected to evaluate the effect of different levels of chromium (Cr) supplementation on performance, carcass traits and some blood parameters of heat-stressed broiler chicks. All birds were kept under heat stress temperature (33 ± 3°C) and divided into five treatments groups. Each treatment consisted of five pens with 10 birds in each pen. The basal diets were supplemented with 0 ppb (control), 800 ppb Cr-L-Met (T(1)), 1,200 ppb Cr-L-Met (T(2)) or 800 ppb CrCl(3) (T(3)), and 1,200 ppb CrCl(3) (T(4)). The feed intake and body mass were measured at 10, 21, and 42 days of age. Blood samples were collected from two birds in each replicates to determine biological and hematological values at 28 and 42 days of age. There were no significant difference in mass gain and feed conversion of broilers that received Cr supplementations compared with controls. The serum glucose concentration decreased in broilers received organic chromium methionine supplements compared with other treatments groups. Slight but not significant increases were observed in serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentration of treated groups than controls while the mean serum HDL concentration was significantly higher in T(2) group compared with control group. Serum low-density lipoprotein level decreased in broiler received organic Cr supplements (p < 0.05).

“…Kroliczewska et al . [31] evaluated the effect of Cr-enriched yeast supplementation on performance of broilers and concluded that supplementation of Cr either at 300 or 500 µg/kg of diet did not affect FCR up to 21 days but supplementation of 500 µg Cr/kg significantly improved FCR at 22-42 days of age. Furthermore, FCR of the entire trial (1-42 days of age) was reported higher in 500 µg Cr/kg diet supplemented group in comparison to 300 µg Cr/kg diet supplemented group and control diet.…”

“…Kroliczewska et al . [31] conducted an experiment to evaluate the effect of Cr-yeast on performance of broilers. The experimental data revealed that supplementation of 500 µg/kg Cr either for 21 or 42 days significantly increased body weight and body weight gain as compared to the dose of 300 µg/kg Cr and control diet.…”

Poultry is reared in open side houses in most of the tropical countries, which results in huge temperature variation in shed causing stress resulting in increased demand of antioxidant supplementation. Since cooling of poultry houses or environment control is very expensive, thus methods focused on nutritional modifications appears to be the much logical approach. Stress increases mineral and vitamin mobilization from tissues and their excretion. Effect of some minerals and vitamin supplements such as chromium (Cr) and ascorbic acid to elevate the negative effects of environmental stress is well documented. Cr functions as an antioxidant and its deficiency are said to disrupt carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Cr has been utilized for weight gain, to improve feed conversion ratio, increase relative organ weight, muscle development, decrease cholesterol, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and improve nutrient digestion. Therefore, the present review discusses the beneficial aspects of Cr with its effect in different doses and antioxidant combinations to explore and promote its optimum utilization in poultry nutrition and production.

“…Keywords: -3 fatty acids; Antioxidant enzymes; Flaxseed; Growth performance; Health indices; Lipid metabolism Background Chromium (Cr), an essential trace element required for normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in humans and animals [1], has generated considerable interest in its role in animal nutrition. In the field of animal nutrition, there are emerging evidences which suggest that dietary Cr requirement of poultry may be higher than the amount found in a typical corn soybean meal diet [2].…”

Background:Flaxseed in a richest terrestrial source of w-3 fatty acid – alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which can be incorporated in chicken meat when it is included in chicken ration. ALA can further be acted up on by desaturating enzymes to generate PUFA such as EPA and DHA which increase the health value of chicken meat. However, dietary flaxseed results in concurrent increase in lipid oxidation due higher unsaturation and negative impact on chicken growth performance. These negative effects of flaxseed feeding can be reversed by chromium supplementation in broiler chicken. Thus, this study investigated growth performance and efficiency, lipid composition, lipid metabolism, health indices, and serum lipid chemistry of broiler chicken fed flaxseed meal (FSM) and chromium (Cr).Results:Feeding of 100 g FSM exerted negative effects on the growth performance during starter phase only (0-3 weeks) and overall growth efficiency parameters in broiler chicken, whereas, Cr supplementation reversed these negative effects.100 g FSM reduced abdominal fat in chicken and Cr supplementation linearly decreased it with minimum at 1.5 mg Cr/kg diet.Feeding of 100 g FSM favourably improved the activities of lipid metabolism enzymes which resulted in improved fatty acid profile and health indices of chicken meat.No significant effect of Cr supplementation was observed on lipid metabolism, fatty acid profile, and health indices of chicken meat.100 g FSM decreased serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, cardiac risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient, and atherogenic index of plasma, whereas, Cr supplementation decreased these parameters linearly with increasing levels. Antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation were increased by FSM, whereas, Cr supplementation linearly decreased them with increasing levels; and inverse trend was observed in serum HDL cholesterol levels.Conclusions: Feeding of 100 g FSM exert negative effects on growth performance of young chicken (0-3 weeks), favourably alter lipid metabolism which results in improved fatty acid profile and health indices of chicken meat. It improves the serum lipid profile and atherogenic indices in broiler chicken, but negatively affects the oxidative stability of lipids. However, Cr supplementation at the rate of 1.5 mg/kg diet successfully overcomes these negative effects of FSM feeding on growth performance and lipid oxidative stability.
