Effects of Supplemental Chromium Source and Concentration on Growth Performance, Carcass Traits, and Meat Quality of Broilers Under Heat Stress Conditions

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplemental chromium (Cr) on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of broilers reared under heat stress. A total of 252 1-d-old Cobb 500 commercial female broilers were randomly allotted by body weight (BW) to one of six replicate cages (six broilers per cage) for each of seven treatments in a completely randomized design involving a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments with three Cr sources (Cr propionate, CrPro; Cr pic… Show more

“…Some of the experiments stated that chromium supplementary is scientifically proved in reducing the negative effect of environmental stress in some livestocks. (Bahrami et al, 2012;Huang et al, 2015). Supplementary of chromium picolinate (CrPic) 1 mg/kg and Cr yeast (CrYst) 2 mg/kg were being able to increase growth performance and blood biochemical activity on red tilapia (Rakhmawati et al, 2018).…”

“…The effect of Cr supplementation on growth performance observed in heat-stressed broiler chickens was inconsistent. Some studies showed that dietary Cr supplementation could alleviate the adverse effects on the performance in heat-stressed broilers ( Huang et al., 2016 ; Sahin et al., 2017 ). However, Habibian et al.…”

“…Dietary chromium ( Cr ) supplementation has been shown to increase growth performance ( Huang et al., 2016 ) and immunological responses ( Bahrami et al., 2012 ) in broiler chicks under heat-stressed conditions. Chromium propionate ( CrPro ), as a supplement of the broiler diet, recently was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for supplementation to broiler diets at concentrations up to 0.20 mg Cr/kg ( FDA, 2016 ).…”

“…The authors attributed this reduction in muscle weight to the elevation of protein synthesis susceptibility than to proteolysis at 32 • C, which thereby lowered the deposition of muscle protein. The amelioration effects of FA on carcass traits of heat-stressed birds have been reported [32,[46][47][48]. Possible explanations for the heat stress mitigation effect of FA may be their ability to boost the antioxidant defense system, immune response, digestive enzyme secretion as well as stimulate the appetite and feed intake [32,49].…”
