“…On the other hand, some blood constituents were significantly enhanced by CrPic supplementation (Table 6). Khan et al (2014) found that supplementation of Cr has promising effects on the immune system by method for the relative increase in lymphoid organ weight (bursa of Fabricius, spleen and thymus), was decreased heterophil:lymphocyte ratio, improved antibody response against infectious diseases and increased Cell-Mediated Immune (CMI) response. Sahin et al (2003) declared that Cr supplementation in broiler chickens caused an increase in serum T3 and T4.…”

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of heat shock programs during the growth period without or with chromium picolinate (CrPic) on productive and physiological performance, blood biochemical traits as well as, immune response, heat shock proteins of Mandarah laying hens during first 90 days of egg production (EP) reared under Egyptian summer condition. Seventy hundred-one day old of unsexes Mandarah chicks were randomly divided into seven equal groups (100 chicks each). The 1 st treatment was served as a control group and fed a control basal diet and reared under natural conditions. While, the chicks in 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th , 5 th , 6 th and 7 th treatments were exposed to early heat shock (40±1 °C for 4 hours from 12.00 to 16.00 p.m. for 3-5 consecutive days). The 2 nd treatment was exposed to early heat shock at 3 days of age (HSE1). Whereas, the 3 rd treatment was exposed to heat shock at 3 days of + 800 μg/ CrPic/kg diet (HSE2). The 4 th treatment was exposed to heat shock at 3 days and at 8 weeks of age (HSE3). The 5 th treatment was exposed to heat shock at 3 days and at 8 weeks of age + 800 μg/ CrPic /kg diet (HSE4). The 6 th treatment was exposed to heat shock at 3 days and at 8 and 16 weeks of age (HSE5). The 7 th treatment was exposed to heat shock at 3 days and at 8, 16, weeks of age + 800 μg/ CrPic /kg diet (HSE6). The obtained results revealed that the egg production (EP) %, egg mass (EM) in hens and some semen characteristics in cocks exposed to heat shock were significantly (P≤0.05) improved in HSE6. Rectal temperature (RT), respiration rate (RR), heterophils % and Heterophils/ lymphocyte (H/L) ratio were significantly (P≤0.05) decreased. Birds in the treatment groups exposed to heat shock in HSE5 or HSE6 were significantly (P≤0.01) increased globulin, HSP70 of Liver, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). While, Triiodothyronine (T3) and total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) were significantly (P≤0.01) decreased compared to the control group.

“…Chromium (III) is an essential micronutrient that plays a role in the response of nutrition and physiology of fish (Kucukbay, Yazlak, Sahin & Cakmak, ). Chromium stimulates digestive enzyme production (Ibrahim, Al‐Mashhadani & Al‐Bandr, ; Khan et al., ). Moreover, chromium acts as an active component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF) (Yan, Zhang, Li, Zhu & Jia, ) which is required as an insulin cofactor on the entry of glucose from the circulation into tissues peripherals (Anderson & Mertz, ).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate bioefficacy of dietary chromium picolinate and chromium yeast on growth performance and blood biochemical in red tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus). Seven isonitrogenous and isocaloric experimental feeds were prepared (approximately 29% and 3,900 kcal/kg). These diets were supplemented with different sources and levels of dietary chromium: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg of Cr picolinate and 2 and 4 mg/kg of Cr yeast and one control group, all groups were arranged triplicate. After a 60-day feeding experiment, specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency ratio (FER) and feed utilization were observed. Blood biochemistry consisted of serum total protein, glucose, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were measured.Chromium distribution in several organs and glucose tolerant test were measured.The result shows that CrPic of 1 mg/kg and CrYst of 2 mg/kg produced the best SGR (2.91 AE 0.03% and 2.91 AE 0.04%), improved insulin sensitivity (7.30 AE 2.96 and 1.70 AE 0.78 lIU/ml) and increased glucose utilization. CrYst supplementation of 2 mg/kg feed resulted in the highest FER (0.79 AE 0.01) and the lowest triglycerides (126.24 AE 12.36 mg/dl). In conclusion, dietary chromium picolinate at 1 mg/ kg or chromium yeast at 2 mg/kg significantly improved bioefficacy on growth performance and blood biochemicals in red tilapia.

“…Inclusion of chromium in broiler diets reduces the negative effects of stress and enhances immunity (Ebrahimzadeh et al, 2012), BWG, FCR (Toghyani et al, 2006) and carcass characteristics (Toghyani et al, 2012). Also, Inclusion of chromium picolinate (Cr-Pic) in diet lead to improve the production performance of broilers fed low protein diets (Khan et al, 2014). Most poultry feedstuffs are composed of plant sources, which are limited in Cr contented (Giri et al, 1990).…”

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of different sources of Cr on growth performance, economical efficiency and blood constituents in heat-stressed Japanese quails. A total of 280 Japanese quails at 2 weeks of age were distributed into four groups with seven replicates (10 in each). The quails were kept under heat stress conditions (34.1 ºC temperature and 41.7% relative humidity) during the day light between 14 and 49 days of age. The first group fed basal diet without supplementation and saved as control group, while the 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th groups were fed basal diet supplemented with 200 ppm/kg diet of Cr chloride (CrCl3), chromium yeast (Cr-Yeast) or chromium picolinate (Cr-Pic), respectively. Body weight and feed intake were recorded. Body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, production index and economical efficiency were calculated. The results showed that chromium supplementation improved BWG, FCR, carcass percentage, economical efficiency, production index, nutrient digestibility and antioxidant properties and decreased abdominal fat. Fed Japanese quails on diet supplemented with Cr-Pic resulted in the greatest BWG, FCR, economical efficiency and production index followed by those fed basal diet supplemented with Cr-yeast then CrCl3. Chromium administration significantly reduced plasma glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL and increased HDL. Plasma total protein levels increased due to inclusion of Cr-Pic or Cr-Yeast into chick diets. Different sources of Cr supplementation significantly increased Lymphocytes and decreased Heterophile /Lymphocytes ratio than the control group. It can be concluded that chromium (either organic or inorganic) supplementation to diet had a beneficial effect on productive performance, economical efficiency and production index of Japanese quails. However, Japanese quails on diet supplemented with Cr-Pic resulted in the greatest productive performance, economical efficiency and production index followed by those fed basal diet supplemented with Cr-yeast then CrCl3.
