| Abstract | ||
| The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary chromium (Biochrome) on some chickens blood inorganic elements includes Na, K, Ca, Fe and Zn. A 120 chicks one days old were used as an experimental animals and distributed into four treatments (30 chicks per treatment), T1 chicks fed a diet without chromium (control), chicks in T2 fed a diet supplemented with 100 ppb chromium, chicks in T3 fed a diet supplemented with 200 ppb chromium, chicks in T4 fed a diet supplemented with 400 ppb chromium. Each treatment subdivided into three replicates and each replicate reared in 1 X 1 m pen. The data obtained revealed that the average effect of dietary chromium increased significantly (P<0.01) blood serum sodium, potassium and calcium concentrations in chicks fed diet supplemented with 400 ppb chromium, when as no statistically differences were appeared among other treatments and control. Iron and zinc concentrations decreased in blood serum as the concentrations of dietary chromium increased compared with control at 7, 14 and 21 days of chromium administration and of the average values, but the significantly (P<0.01) decreased were in the treatments of 400 ppb of chromium compared with control | ||
