“…Page et al (1993a), andKornegay et al (1997) reported an increased longissimus muscle area and a decreased backfat of carcass when chromium picolinate was fed to growing-finishing pigs. But, these findings have not been corroborated by other studies (Mooney and Cromwell, 1995 ;Crow and New-Comb, 1997). Since currently, the National Research Council (NRC, 1988) does not recommend dietary chromium supplementation for swine, the goal of this work, is to find out if lysine can potentiate the effect of minute amount of dietary chromium tripicolinate (200 ppb of Cr) on growth performance, carcass composition and plasma metabolites in growing-finishing pigs.…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of chromium tripicolinate (CrPic) and three levels of lysine in growing-finishing pigs. Average initial weight was 24.10 kg. Six treatments were replicated four times with four pigs per replicate. Three basal corn-soybean meal diets (B1 : 80 % National Research Council (NRC, 1988) lys level ; B2 : 120 % NRC lys level ; and B3 : 160 % NRC lys level) with three main diets supplemented with 200 ppb of Cr from CrPic (B1+ 200 ppb Cr, B2 + 200 ppb Cr and B3 + 200 ppb Cr). During the growing phase, daily weight gain was decreased by chromium tripicolinate (p < 0.04), without any effect on total growth performance and carcass traits. CrPic decreased pre-prandial state urea nitrogen values (p < .003) and increased post-prandial state urea nitrogen values (p < 0.02). On the other hand, lysine levels increased feed efficiency (Lysine linear, p < 0.08) in growing pigs. Lysine increased loin eye area (lysine linear, p < 0.05 ; lysine quadratic, p < 0.05), but decreased tenth rib fat (lysine linear, p < 0.03 ; lysine quadratic, p < 0.009). Cholesterol values were decreased by lysine levels under pre-prandial state (lysine linear, p < 0.02 ; lysine quadratic, p < 0.08), and under post-prandial state (lysine linear, p < 0.02 ; lysine quadratic, p < 0.005). At the end of the trial, values of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) were elevated by lysine (lysine quadratic, p < 0.08), and so were those of total proteins (lysine quadratic, p < 0.02). Urea nitrogen values were elevated by lysine increment 19 (linear effect of lysine ; p < 0.0002). CrPic and lysine interaction was shown on NEFA and 20 urea nitrogen values. These results show that CrPic has minimal effects on growth efficiency, while lysine affects significantly growth performance, carcass characteristics and most of plasma metabolites in growing-finishing pigs.Key-words : Pig, chromium, lysine, growth, metabolites, USA.

“…Harris et al (1995) reported improved growth performance of weanling piglets fed supplemental Cr as Cr-PIC. Mooney and Cromwell (1995) observed that Cr-PIC supplementation throughout the entire growing-finishing phase tended to improve growth rate and significantly increased the protein:fat ratio of the carcass. On the other hand Cr supplementation at 300 µg kg -1 of diet as Cr-PIC did not show any improvement in growth rate and feed efficiency (Evock-Clover et al 1993).…”

. Effects of dietary chromium-yeast in weaning-stressed piglets. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 79: 369-374. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Cr supplementation (as Cr-yeast) on growth performance, some blood parameters and neutrophils superoxide anion production, in weaning-stressed piglets. Thirteen crossbred (Landrace × Large White) litters were assigned to Cr-supplemented prestarter diet for 21 d (from 10 d after birth to 7 d post-weaning). Thirteen other litters, forming the control group, were not given supplemental Cr. Blood samples were taken on day 3 post-weaning and 1 h after litters were moved to the post-weaning facilities (day 7 post-weaning). To enhance stress response, ACTH (5 µg kg -1 BW) was given to some animals immediately before moving. Cromium supplementation did not improve piglet weight or superoxide production by neutrophils. The plasma concentration of non-esterified fatty acids was higher (P < 0.05) and glucose concentration was lower (P < 0.05) at 7 d post-weaning compared with 3 d in both treated and control piglets. In ACTH-challenged piglets, a further lowering of blood glucose was associated with Cr supplementation (P < 0.05), but cortisol and insulin levels were not affected by dietary treatment. These data suggest that Cr supplementation does not reduce weaning stress in piglets. However, in high-stress conditions (as simulated by ACTH challenge) Cr supplementation may improve peripheral glucose utilisation.

“…However, the decrease in backfat thickness was not so conspicuous as in the experiments of Cadogan et al (1993), Best (1994), Smith et al (1994 involving betaine, and in the studies of Lindemann (1995), Grela et al (1997) and Jacyno et al (1998), who supplemented pigs with organic chromium compounds. However, it should be pointed out that in some experiments, these supplements not only did not decrease backfat thickness (Mooney and Cromwell, 1995;Wenk et al, 1995;Matthews et al, 1998) but even increased it slightly (Haydon et al, 1995;Lindemann et al, 1995, Mooney andCromwell, 1999).…”

The influence of feed energy concentration on the effect of betaine and chromium picolinate added to feeds, either separately or together, on fattening performance, carcass quality and some blood biochemical indicators was investigated in an experiment involving 128 pigs fattened from about 30 to 113 kg body weight assigned to 4 groups.The animals given feed with an increased energy content achieved 38 g better daily weight gains in the first period of fattening, and at the end of fattening their carcasses were similar to those of animals that received the diet with a lower energy concentration.The results of the experiment showed that the supplements improved fattening performance, especially in animals given chromium picolinate (902 g vs 857 g of body weight gain in the experimental and control groups, respectively). This effect was especially distinct in pigs fed diets with higher energy concentrations. They also improved their leanness from 56.0 to 57.5% and slightly decreased their backfat thickness. The combined supplement of betaine and chromium picolinate proved inefficient both for fattening and slaughter traits, although it decreased blood cholesterol, especially its LDL fraction by 9%.Gilts had lower weight gains than barrows and better results of post-slaughter evaluation regardless of the supplement used.
