Abstract:

 

This study was conducted to determine the effects of  chromium picolinate (CrPi) added into diet containing 710.3 ppb chromium on  yield and nutrient digestibility of laying hens at low temperature.  Forty-six-week-old laying hens  were randomly assigned to four groups of 30 hens per group. Treatment groups were fed different supplemental dietary chromium levels. Thus, hens were fed diets with no supplemental chromium (Control Group), 100 ppb of supplemental chromium (100 Group), 200 ppb of supplemental chromium (200 Group) and 400 ppb of supplemental chromium (400 Group). Diet chromium  concentration was detected by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy.   Body weight, feed efficiency and egg production increased both linearly (P.
