The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of dietary chromium supplementation on performance, carcass yield, meat quality, cholesterol level on the breast and blood biochemical parameters on broilers. It was used a complete randomized experimental design with five levels of chromium tripicolinate (0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 µg/kg of chromium) and six replicates with 50 broilers per experimental unit. The use of chromium tripicolinate had no effect on the performance of broilers. The levels of chromium […]
