Effects of chromium supplementation on dam performance and progeny growth and development
Chromium has been shown to have several positive effects on animal growth and insulin function. Currently, there is only 1 FDA approved source of Cr to be fed to cattle, chromium-propionate (Cr-prop). We hypothesized that feeding Cr-prop to cows during gestation would increase dam insulin …

The Influence of Chromium Supplementation on the Insulin Pathway, Carcass Traits, and Meat Quality of Feedlot Steers
<p>Chromium supplementation (Cr) can increase efficiency of growth in livestock by amplifying insulin signaling. Previous research showed Cr increases nutrient utilization and changes in muscle growth and fat deposition. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine how Cr affects …

The Effects Of Different Amino Acid Concentrations, With Or Without Chromium Supplementation, On The Performance And Yield Of Commercial Broiler Chickens Fed Two Different Feeding Programs.
… amino acid concentrations, with or without chromium supplementation, and delivered through two different feeding programs over 54 days. The experimental study was completed as a randomized-block design with 4,800, Ross 708 X Ross 708 commercial broiler chickens, picked at random, and evenly …

The Effects of Genotype, Chromium Picolinate Supplementation, Sex, and Their Interactions on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, and Muscle Quality in Pigs
… to evaluate the effects of the halothane gene, chromium picolinate supplementation, and sex on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in pigs. Halothane negative (NN) and halothane carrier (Nn) pigs (barrows, gilts) were supplemented with either 0 or 200 ppb chromium …

Effects of feed additives on uterine morphology and selected reproductive attributes
… infection rates during periods of high stress. Chromium supplementation has demonstrated efficacy as a feed additive capable of reducing the detrimental effects of stress. As such, its application in dairy production may help to alleviate economic losses associated with seasonal heat stress and …

Supplementation of Chromium Propionate Positively Impacts Reproductive Performance of Beef Females
… is a considerable obstacle for beef females. Chromium supplementation increases available glucose and insulin sensitivity within cells. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing Chromium propionate (CrP) during the peripartum until weaning on productive and …
