“…It was reported that antibody titers against Newcastle virus increased in broilers fed 2 or 10 ppm of Cr in the form of Cr yeast in heat-stress conditions [22]. Decreased heterophyl-tolymphocyte ratios in broilers receiving the organic Cr supplements (0.010 and 0.015%) compared with control was found at 35days and this result was in agreement with [23]. They observed increased lymphocyte count and consequently decreased H: L ratios in the 800 or 1,200 ppb of organic Cr groups.…”

Key words:Quails, Heat stress, Organic selenium and chromium, Immune response, oxidative stress This study conducted to clarify the effect of dietary supplementation of organic chromium (Cr), selenium (Se) and their combination on performance, immune responses, hematological and biochemical parameters as well as antioxidant capacity of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) under heat stress. A 90-day trial conducted using seventy-five, 10-day-old Japanese quails that randomly divided into 5 groups of 15 birds each. The 1 st group received basal diet and kept in a temperature controlled room at 24°C. The other four groups reared under natural summer months and kept in a room temperature ranged from (25.3°C to 36.7 °C). The 2 nd group kept under heat stress condition and fed basal diet only. The third, fourth and fifth groups fed basal diet supplemented by chromium (1400 µg/kg of diet), selenium (0.3 mg/kg of diet) and their combination respectively. In heat-stressed quail group, the data of growth performance revealed a significantly (P<0.05) reduced body weight gain (BWG), total feed intake (TFI) and a significantly (P<0.05) increased feed conversion ratio (FCR). A significantly (P<0.05) reduced phagocytic activity (PA), phagocytic index (PI) and the antibody titer against Newcastle disease virus as well as high mortality rate. a macrocytic hypochromic anemia and stress picture of leukogram. A significant (P<0.05) reduction in total proteins, albumin and thyroid hormones concentrations together with a significantly (P<0.05) elevated activity of serum AST, LDH, raised total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose concentrations. Moreover, a significant (P<0.05) increase for lipid peroxidation marker (MDA) and a significant (P<0.05) reduction of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC). However, simultaneous dietary supplementation with organic Cr and/or Se alleviated heat stress adverse effects. It could be concluded that combined dietary supplementation of organic Cr and Se can be considered to be a protective management in a quail diet, reducing the negative effects of heat stress.

“…Chromium, as well, could affect lipid metabolism and reduce body fat deposition of broilers [9][10][11]. The benefits of Cr supplementation are mostly observed under stressful conditions, and this may be attributed to the effect of Cr in reducing stress-induced corticosteroid concentrations [12][13][14][15]. However, studies performed under normal conditions are limited and have no uniform conclusions [16].…”

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary chromium (Cr) source and concentration on growth performance, carcass traits, and some serum lipid parameters of broilers under normal rearing conditions for 42 days. A total of 252 1-day-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 involved in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments with three Cr sources (Cr propionate (CrPro), Cr picolinate (CrPic), Cr chloride (CrCl3)) and two concentrations of added Cr (0.4 and 2.0 mg of Cr/kg) plus a Cr-unsupplemented control diet. The results showed that dietary Cr supplementation tended to increase the breast muscle percentage compared with the Cr-unsupplemented control group (P = 0.0784), while Cr from CrPic tended to have higher breast muscle percentage compared with Cr from CrCl3 (P = 0.0881). Chromium from CrPic also tended to increase the breast intramuscular fat (IMF) compared with Cr from CrCl3 (P = 0.0648). In addition, supplementation of 0.4 mg/kg Cr tended to decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P = 0.0614). Compared with the control group, broilers fed Cr-supplemented diets had higher triglyceride (TG) (P = 0.0129) regardless of Cr source and Cr concentration. Chromium from CrPro and CrPic had lower total cholesterol (TC) compared with Cr from CrCl3 (P = 0.0220). These results indicate that dietary supplementation of Cr has effects on carcass characteristics and serum lipid parameters of broilers under normal rearing conditions, while supplementation of organic Cr can improve carcass characteristics and reduce the cholesterol content in serum.
