Abstract


The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of chromium
supplementation on the growth and chromium content in kidney, liver, excreta and
in the bodies of broilers. Twelve-day-old chicks were used and divided into four
treatments, in which each treatment consisted of 3 birds. Those treatments were
chromium supplementation with 0, 500, 1000, and 1500 mg/kg ration. The birds
were reared in 4 cages and was fed broiler ration (BR I). The chromosal was added
to the ration and given to the broilers starting from 10 to 40 days of rearing. Broilers
were killed at 40 days old. Data collected were gain weight, feed intake, weight of
excreta, chromium content in lcidney, liver, excreta and in the body of broilers. The
results showed that the growth of broiler was not significantly affected by chromium
supplementation. Chrorrtium supplementation up to 1500 mg/kg ration did not
decrease the growth of broiler. Level of chromitun supplementation above the
requirement resulted in cltrornium accumulation in the body including kidney and
liver.
