“…The supplementation of inorganic or organic forms of trace minerals (Mn, Zn, Cu and Cr) to the diet at different levels did not affect the performance of laying hens such as livability, body weight gain, egg production, egg weight, feed intake and feed conversion, which is similar to the findings of previous studies (6,8,24,31). Contrary to the present study, organic Mn, Zn and Cu resulted in an increase in egg weight when compared to their inorganic form at 72 to 80 weeks of age (20).…”

“…In accordance with the findings of the present study, the supplementation of organic Zn, Mn and Cu to the diet did not affect the eggshell rate and thickness (20). In addition, egg shape index and eggshell thickness (8,34) or haugh unit (8,24) were not influenced by supplemental dietary organic Cr levels (0.10 to 0.80 mg/kg). Gheisari et al (11) showed that a corn-soybean diet supplemented with the organic forms of Zn, Mn and Cu at a dosage 50 % to 75 % lower than available levels is sufficient to maintain performance and egg quality characteristics in laying hens.…”

Summary:This study was conducted to compare the effects of organic or inorganic Mn, Zn, Cu and Cr mixture using two different levels (80, 60, 5 and 0.15 mg/kg and 40, 30, 2.5 and 0.07 mg/kg, respectively) on the performance, egg quality and hatching characteristics of laying breeder hens. The experiment began with a total of 360 hens from Barred Rock line at 50 weeks of age and continued for 16 weeks. Each of the four dietary treatments was randomly assigned to six replicates, which included 15 hens each. Different trace mineral applications did not result in a significant effect on performance parameters such as livability, body weight gain, egg production, egg weight and mass, feed intake, and feed conversion. No significant differences in egg quality parameters such as damaged egg rate, shape index, eggshell rate and thickness, albumen height and haugh unit were observed among the groups. However, the low level of trace minerals resulted in a significant reduction in eggshell breaking strength (P < 0.05). Different trace mineral applications did not show a significant effect on hatching and fertilised eggs ratio. The dietary supplementation of organic (chelated with methionine) Mn, Zn, Cu and Cr at high levels (80, 60, 5 and 0.15 mg/kg, respectively) increased the hatchability of the fertilised eggs and hatchability compared to that of the other groups (P < 0.05).Key words: Breeder hen, egg quality, hatching characteristics, performance, trace mineral. Damızlık yumurta tavuğu yemine organik veya inorganik mangan, çinko, bakır ve krom ilavesinin performans, yumurta kalitesi ve kuluçka özellikleri üzerine etkileriÖzet: Bu araştırma, iki farklı seviyede organik veya inorganik Mn, Zn, Cu ve Cr karışımının (sırasıyla, 80, 60, 5 ve 0.15 mg/kg ve 40, 30, 2.5 ve 0.07 mg/kg) damızlık yumurta tavuklarının performans, yumurta kalitesi ve kuluçka özelliklerine etkilerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla düzenlenmiştir. Araştırma, 50 haftalık yaşta, toplam 360 adet Barred Rock hattı ile başlatılmış ve 16 hafta sürdürülmüştür. 4 ana grup her biri 15 tavuk içeren 6 tekerrüre rastgele dağıtılmıştır. Farklı iz mineral uygulamaları yaşama gücü, canlı ağırlık kazancı, yumurta verimi, yumurta ağırlığı ve kütlesi, yem tüketimi ve yemden yararlanma gibi performans parametreleri üzerinde önemli bir etki göstermemiştir. Yumurta kalite parametrelerinden, hasarlı yumurta oranı, şekil indeksi, kabuk oranı ve kalınlığı, ak yüksekliği ve haugh birimi bakımından gruplar arasında önemli farklılıklar bulunmamıştır. Bununla birlikte, düşük iz mineral seviyesi kabuk kırılma mukavemetinde önemli bir azalmaya sebep olmuştur. (P < 0.05). Farklı iz mineral uygulamaları, kuluçkalık ve döllü yumurta oranları üzerine önemli bir etki göstermemiştir. Organik (metiyonin şelatı) Mn, Zn, Cu ve Cr' un yüksek (sırasıyla, 80, 60, 5 ve 0.15 mg/kg) düzeyleri çıkış gücü ve kuluçka randımanını diğer gruplara göre artırmıştır (P < 0.05).

“…In contrast to the present study, however, the source of the trace mineral did not affect Mn, Zn, and Cu [17] or Cr [28] concentrations in egg yolk. In other studies, organic supplementations of yeast (0.15 mg/kg Cr) [19] or chromium propionate (0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 mg/kg Cr) [29] did not affect egg yolk Cr concentration. The high trace mineral level significantly increased the accumulation of Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cr in eggs (65.1, 11.1, 6.5, and 39.5 %, respectively) in this study.…”

In the present study, the effects of dietary supplementation of organic and inorganic Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cr mixtures using two different levels (80, 60, 5, and 0.15 mg/kg and 40, 30, 2.5, and 0.07 mg/kg, respectively) on the bioavailability of these trace minerals and Ca in late-phase laying hens were evaluated. Three hundred and sixty laying hens (Barred Rock) at 50 weeks of age were used, and the duration of study was 16 weeks. Each of the four dietary regimes was randomly assigned to six replicates, which included 15 hens each. Organic trace minerals were provided as methionine chelates; inorganic Mn, Zn, and Cr were provided as oxides; and Cu was provided as sulfate. The organic form significantly increased the concentrations of serum Mn, Zn, Cu, and Ca; egg Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cr; and eggshell Zn and Cr compared with the inorganic form. However, the form of trace minerals did not affect the concentrations of serum Cr and eggshell Mn, Cu, and Ca. High-level addition of trace minerals significantly increased serum Mn and Zn; egg Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cr; and eggshell Mn, Zn, and Cu concentrations compared with low-level addition but did not affect serum Cu, Cr, and Ca or eggshell Cr and Ca concentrations. While the organic form reduced the excretion of Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, and Ca, the high-level supplement increased Mn, Zn, and Cu excretion. The addition level did not affect Cr and Ca excretion. These results demonstrate that dietary supplementation of an organic Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cr mixture increases the bioavailability of Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, and Ca compared with inorganic sources and that a lower level of trace mineral supplementation results in lower mineral excretion, particularly in an organic form.

“…In the experiment ofSirirat et al, (2013), two levels of nano chromium picolinate (500 and 3000 ppb) had beneficial significant effect on HU of post-molt laying hens' eggs. Of course, in another experiment, organic or inorganic chromium did not affect HU, egg and yolk weight (Eseceli, et al, 2010;Piva et al, 2003). Shell thickness was influenced by the level of 800 ppb N-Cr chloride than control (0 ppb N-CR chloride).…”

The goal of this experiment was to investigating of effects of different levels of nano chromium (N-Cr) in diet on egg quality and blood chromium content of japanese quail. Two hundred and forty laying japanese quail (45 day old) were randomly distributed to 20 experimental unit with 12 birds in cage pens of 40 × 80 cm. Experimental treatments include: 1) control national research council (NRC, 1994) based diet (with no N-Cr), 2) 200 ppb, 3) 400 ppb, 4) 600 ppb and 800 ppb of N-Cr. Egg weight, egg internal quality (Huagh unit) and blood chromium were Amiri Andi and Shahamat / International journal of Advanced Biological and Biomedical Research (2015) 3(4) 378-378 379 determined. Treatments influenced egg weight, yolk weight, albumen height, albumen weight, shell weight and thickness and Haugh unit (p≤ 0.05). But blood chromium content was not affected by levels of N-Cr (p≥ 0.05). In conclusion, it seems that N-Cr level of 800 ppb had further effects onjapanese quail egg quality.
