Abstract

Effects of two organic chromium (Cr), Cr picolinate and yeast Cr, on the growth and carcass quality of broilers were studied. One-week-old female Arbor Acres broiler chicks were group-fed a commercial diet for 7 days. After then, they were divided into five dietary groups of 20 chicks each, and supplied the experimental diets containing 21.5% crude protein (CP) and 3.10 kcal ME/g for 14 days, and then 18.3% CP and 3.20 kcal ME/g for 21 days. To above two basal diets 0, 200 or 400ppb of Cr derived from Cr picolinate and yeast Cr were added. Body weight gain and feed intake were recorded weekly. At the end of the trial, chicks were sacrificed to determine abdominal fat and contents of crude fat, CP and moisture in the skin-off breast meat and skin-on drumsticks meat. Feed intake and body weight gain tended to decrease in the all of Cr supplemented diet groups, and yeast Cr (400ppb) significantly suppressed weight gain (P⟨0.05). Yeast Cr tended to have a greater negative effect on the body weight gain and feed intake than Cr picolinate. The abdominal fat, CP and moisture in the skin-on drumsticks meat and skin-off breast meat were not influenced by the dietary Cr levels. The crude fat in the skin-on drumsticks meat was not affected by dietary Cr levels, but that in the skin-off breast meat decreased proportionally with increasing Cr levels.
