“…It has been reported that chromium is a cofactor for insulin activity and necessary for normal glucose utilization and animal growth . Similarly to the results of the present study, Kim et al (1996) reported that dietary chromium supplementation increased insulin concentration in broiler chicks. However, Sahin et al (1997) reported that dietary chromium did not affect the insulin concentration in pregnant does and new-born and weaned growing rabbits.…”

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary chromium picolinate supplement on growth and haematology parameters of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus. Six diets with increasing dietary chromium picolinate levels 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mg kg(-1) were fed to triplicate groups of 20 fish (initial weight of 12.78 +/- 1.16 g, mean +/- SD) in a flow water system for 10 weeks. Fish fed the diet supplemented with 0.8 mg Cr kg(-1) had significantly improved weight gain (WG), feed efficiency ratio (FER), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and protein retention (PR). Fish fed high-chromium diets exhibited lower whole-body crude lipid contents than fish fed low-chromium diets. Liver glycogen concentrations for fish fed the diet with 0.2 mg Cr kg(-1) was the highest (77.67 mg g(-1)). Fish fed the diet supplemented with 1.6 and 3.2 mg Cr kg(-1) had significantly lower liver glycogen concentrations than other groups (P < 0.05). The highest serum insulin concentrations were observed in fish fed the diet supplemented with 0.8 mg Cr kg(-1), but serum insulin concentrations decreased (P < 0.05) when dietary supplementation of chromium was higher than 0.8 mg Cr kg(-1). Cholesterol concentrations decreased in direct proportion to dietary chromium level and achieved the lowest level when the fish were fed the 0.8 mg Cr kg(-1) diet, but increased when the fish were fed the diet with more than 0.8 mg Cr kg(-1) (P < 0.05). Fish fed the diet supplemented with 0.8 mg Cr kg(-1) had higher triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations compared to other treatments. The results of the present study suggested that chromium picolinate could modify serum carbohydrate and lipid metabolism profile, and that the optimal dietary chromium level was 0.8 mg kg(-1) for grass carp according to growth.

“…These results were similar to observation of Mooney and Cromwell [22] when pigs were fed by Cr picolinate or Cr chloride, tissue fat and moisture were not affected. However, Kim et al [23] reported in broiler chicks, supplementing the Cr picolinate in the diets decreased fat content of the carcass. The Cr has been found to exert inhibitory effects on in vitro lipogenic activity in chick and pig adipose tissue [23,24] .…”

“…Samanta et al [13] reported meat protein accretion improved in broiler fed organic Cr under heat stress condition. Also increasing in protein levels in the carcass and liver of broilers given Cr picolinate were observed [14,23] . Cr has been shown to potentiate insulin action by enhancing its binding to the target cell receptors and also by improving its post receptor signaling.…”

“…Dietary Cr supplementation has been shown to positively affect the growth rate and food efficiency in growing poultry [12,21,36]. In most of the cases, beneficial effects were obtained in poultry and swine species when Cr concentration in the diet was within a range of 100 to 400 ppb [17,24,25].…”

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).
