“…Chromium is a trace element involved in carbohydrates, lipids, protein and nucleic acid metabolism and its growth-promoting effect was reported previously (Ali et al 2018). Improved productive parameters in stress conditions under chromium or combinations of chromium with other antioxidants were published in terms of weight gain or feed efficiency (Perai et al 2014;Ali et al 2018).…”

The effect of chromium associated with vitamins and minerals (synthetic or natural ingredients) on broiler meat nutritional quality, subjected to heat stress conditions were evaluated. The 6week feeding trial was conducted on 120 unsexed 1-day-old Cobb 500 broilers, assigned to 4 treatments and housed in digestibility cages at 32 C constant temperature. Compared to the control diet (C), the experimental diets were supplemented with 200 mg/kg diet chromium picolinate (Cr), as follows: Cr-AA has 0.25 g ascorbic acid/kg diet; Cr-Zn has 0.025 g zinc/kg diet; Cr-WS has 10 g creeping wood sorrel/kg diet. The results of the study showed that essential amino acids concentrations determined in the thigh meat samples tend to increase in groups supplemented with chromium and ascorbic acid and chromium and zinc, especially sulphur containing amino acids (methionine and cystine) which increased for experimental groups (methionine: 1.25% (C) vs. 1.77% (Cr-AA); 1.58% (Cr-Zn); 1.64% (Cr-WS) and cystine: 0.46% (C) vs. 0.52% (Cr-AA); 0.54% (Cr-WS)). Among the compounds with biological value, vitamin E and lutein & zeaxanthin concentration registered the highest increase for chromium and zinc supplemented group (vitamin E: 35.49 mg/kg (C) vs. 59.05 mg/kg (Cr-Zn) and lutein & zeaxanthin: 0.66 mg/kg (C) vs. 1.36 mg/kg (Cr-Zn)). The peroxidation process was delayed under nutritional supplements influence, the primary oxidation parameters (peroxide value) from the Cr-WS group being significantly lower compared to the control group. The same trend was maintained for the secondary oxidation parameters, the Cr-WS group highlighting reduced values for p-anisidine and TBARS concentration compared to the C group (p-anisidine: 17.22 (C) vs. 9.29 (Cr-WS) and TBARS: 0.15 mg/kg (C) vs. 0.11 mg/kg (Cr-WS)). In conclusion, sulphur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) concentrations increased for experimental groups, in the thigh meat samples, the liposoluble compounds (vitamin E, lutein & zeaxanthin) concentration registered the highest increase for chromium and zinc supplemented group and the peroxidation process was more pronounced delayed under chromium and wooden sorrel combination.

“…These findings are agreement with Tawfeek et al (2014) who reported that supplementation with 250 mg Vit.C + 250 mg Vit.E or 0.5 mg Cr to stressed broilers (36 °C, RH 75%) significantly increased BW and BWG, decreased FCR and M % but did not change FI. In contrast, Ali et al (2018) reported that adding Vit.E, Zn, Cr individually or in a combination to broiler diets increased FI. The positive effect of combination Vit.+Min.…”

“…To overcome HS effects in broiler chicks through nutritional management strategies: two ways have been used 1) feed restriction (FR) methods (Abdel-Hafeez et al 2017); 2) dietary supplementation of feed additives (antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, probiotics, prebiotics, etc. ) (Ali et al 2018).…”

This experiment was aimed to determine the best strategies for alleviating the detrimental effects of heat stress by feed restriction (FR) in hot times and dietary supplementation with Vit.+Min. (vitamins and minerals) by their impacts on growth parameters, mortality rate, serum biochemistry indices and carcass traits of broiler under summer conditions in the open-sided house. A total of 420 broilers of Ross 308 (unsexed 7-day-old) were equally divided into 7 treatments (T). Throughout the experiment, chicks in T1 (control) fed ad libitum on basal diets, FR was applied in T2, T3 and T4 as followed 2, 3, 4 hours (h) without feeding respectively. Supplemental vitamin C (Vit.C) + vitamin E (Vit.E) + chromium (Cr) + zinc (Zn) as followed 100+100+0.5+50 (T5), 150+150+1.0+75 (T6), 200+200+1.5+100 (T7) mg/kg diet respectively. It was found that FR and feed additives improved body weight, weight gain, and significantly decreased feed conversion, mortality rate, and abdominal fat of stressed broiler. Applying FR (3, 4 h) and supplementation with Vit.+Min. (T6, T7) significantly increased total serum protein and statically decreased total serum cholesterol. Overall results conducted that FR for 3 h (T3) and dietary supplementation (T7) have the most significant results which indicate the vital role of FR and supplementation with Vit.+Min. in stressed broilers.

“…The combination of vitamin C and vitamin E in broiler diets markedly increased BWG and decreased FCR (Attia et al, 2017). Ali et al (2018) showed that dietary supplementation with vitamin E, Cr, and Zn either individually or in combination enhanced BWG and FCR in broilers. The harmful effects of HS in broiler chicks are a result of a decrease in FI, increase in body temperature, depressed immune response, declined energy bioavailability in cells, digestibility of nutrients, metabolism, and absorption, damage in endocrine functions, disorders in the role and structure of intestinal epithelium, and variations in microbiota of the gut (Lara and Rostagno., 2013;Wang et al, 2018).…”

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the impacts of feed restriction (FR) for 3 hours and/or dietary supplementation with vitamins and minerals on growth, mortality rate, some carcass traits, and serum biochemistry indices of broiler chicks under heat stress in the open housing system. A total of 240 one-week old broilers were weighed and randomly assigned into 4 equal experimental treatments. Treatment 1 (T1) was fed ad libitum on basal diets, T2 birds were fed on basal diets with FR, T3 birds were fed ad libitum on basal diets with vitamin C (200 mg) + vitamin E (200 mg) + Cr (1.5 mg ) + Zn (100 mg) per kg diet, and T4 birds were fed on basal diets with FR and combined supplementation of vitamins and minerals. It was found that growth parameters improved in T2, T3, and T4, while the mortality rate was significantly reduced compared with control. FR and feed additives (T4) revealed marked increases in serum total protein and a decrease in total serum cholesterol. It was concluded that combined effect of FR and feed additives could significantly alleviate heat stress effects for broilers by improving growth performance and decreasing mortality rate.
