Livestock and poultry breeding:
1.Improve anti-stress ability and enhance immune function;
2.Improve feed remuneration and promote animal growth;
3.Improve lean meat rate and reduce fat content;
4.Improve the breeding ability of livestock and poultry and reduce the mortality rate of young animals.
5.Improve feed utilization:
It is generally believed that chromium can enhance the function of insulin, promote the synthesis of proteins, and improve the utilization rate of proteins and amino acids.
In addition, studies have shown that chromium can enhance protein synthesis and reduce protein catabolism by regulating the levels of insulin-like growth factor receptor and ubiquitination in skeletal muscle cells of mice.
It has also been reported that chromium can promote the transfer of insulin from blood to surrounding tissues, and in particular, it can enhance the internalization of insulin by muscle cells, thus promoting the anabolism of proteins.
Trivalent Cr (Cr3+) is the most stable oxidation state in which Cr is found in living organisms and is considered to be a highly safe form of Cr. In the USA, the organic Cr propionate is more accepted than any other form of Cr. In this context, 2 organic forms of Cr (Cr propionate and Cr picolinate) are currently permitted for addition to swine diets in the USA at levels not exceeding 0.2 mg/kg (200 μg/kg) of supplemental Cr. Cr propionate is a source of readily absorbed organically-bound Cr. Other Cr products on the market include non-bound Cr salts, organically-bound species with documented health risks of the carrier anion, and ill-defined admixtures of such salts. Traditional quality control methods for the latter are typically unable to distinguish and quantify organically-bound from non-bound Cr in these products. However, Cr3+ propionate is a novel and structurally well-defined compound that lends itself to an accurate quality control evaluation.
In conclusion, growth performance, feed conversion, carcass yield, breast and leg meats of broiler birds can be significantly improved by dietary inclusion of Cr propionate.
