Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different supplemental levels of chromium propionate (CrPro) on the growth performance, serum lipid metabolism, carcass traits and immune function of broilers reared under normal conditions for 21 days. A total of 252 one-day-old male broilers (Cobb 500) were divided into 6 groups with 7 replicates per group and 6 birds per replicate. Broilers in the control groups were fed a corn-soybean type basal diet contained of 0.62 mg/kg chromium, and those in the experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mg CrPro (calculated by chromium), respectively. Birds had ad libitum access to diets and distilled-deionized water for 21 days. The results showed as follows:1) different dietary CrPro levels had no significant effects on the growth performance of broilers (P>0.05). 2) The serum contents of total cholesterol, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were not significantly affected by different dietary CrPro levels (P>0.05). However, the serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) content was increased linearly as the dietary CrPro level increased (P<0.05). 3) Different dietary CrPro levels did not significantly influence carcass traits and breast muscle quality of broilers (P>0.05). 4) The serum contents of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) of broilers were improved quadratically with the dietary CrPro level increasing (P<0.05), and both reached the maximum when the CrPro supplementation level was 0.4 mg/kg. Quadratic trend response was exhibited by serum immunoglobulin (IgM) content as the dietary CrPro level increased (P=0.057 4). 5) The immune organ indices of broilers were not significantly affected by dietary CrPro level (P>0.05). It is concluded that dietary CrPro has no significant effects on the growth performance, carcass traits and meat quality of broilers fed under normal conditions for 21 days. However, with the dietary CrPro level increasing, the serum contents of IgA, IgG and IgM show quadratic change, and all three reach the maximum when the CrPro supplemental level is 0.4 mg/kg. The serum LDLC content is increased linearly by CrPro supplementation.
