1.Trivalent Chromium is the safe ,ideal chromium sources,it has biological activity , and also works together with insulin produced by the pancreas to metabolize carbohydrates. It promotes lipid metabolism.
2.It is organic source of chromium for use in swine, beef, dairy cattle and broilers.It eases the stress reaction from nutrition, environment and metabolism, reducing the production loss.
3.Highly glucose utilization in animals.It could potentiate the action of insulin and improve glucose utilization in animals.
4.Highly reproduction,growth/performance
5. Improve carcass quality, reduce back fat thickness,enhance lean meat percentage and eye muscle area.
6. Improve the farrowing rate of sow herd, the egg production rate of layer chicken, and the milk production of dairy cattle.
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.
