Feed Grade Chromium Picolinate Powder

What is Feed Grade Chromium Picolinate Powder ?

Chromium picolinate is a common trivalent chromium supplement. It consists of trivalent chromium (Cr3+) and pyridine carboxylic acid (picolinic acid) forming a complex that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. Trivalent chromium plays an important role in insulin signaling, improving insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels, as well as lowering triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Chromium picolinate can be used as a supplement or alternative medicine for type 2 diabetes. It can increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, while it can help cells extract glucose from the bloodstream, after helping glucose enter the cells, chromium picolinate can help convert glucose into energy for use. Chromium picolinate is widely used for weight management, blood sugar control, and exercise enhancement.

Feed Grade Chromium Picolinate Powder is Chromium Picolinate Powder for feed additives. Chromium is an essential trace element for animals. Chromium deficiency in animals is manifested as elevated cholesterol or blood glucose, growth retardation, decreased immunity, reduced reproduction ability and shorter life span. In livestock and poultry production, supplementation of chromium picolinate powder can promote the growth and increase the lean meat rate of pigs, improve the immunity of livestock and poultry, enhance the body's ability to resist stress and improve the fertility of female animals. As a commonly used feed additive, chromium picolinate can improve the dietary utilization of animals, increase body weight, improve meat quality and reduce mortality.

Benefits:

Anti-stress

Intensively farmed animals are exposed to a large number of stresses such as nutritional stress, environmental stress, immunological stress, and metabolic stress. Stress leads to changes in glucose metabolism and mineral metabolism in animals. Stool glycogen degradation and protein xenobiosis are enhanced, and enhanced glucose utilization leads to an increase in tissue chromium, which is eventually excreted from the body. Supplementation with chromium picolinate powder can reduce mortality due to stress, improve endocrinology, increase production performance, and reduce excretion of other mineral elements.

Improvement of Carcass Quality

Since the 1990s, the most studied source of chromium in animal nutrition, especially in pigs, has been chromium picolinate. The addition of 200 × 10-9 inorganic chromium (supplied as CrCl3 .6H2O) to fattening pig diets failed to improve growth and carcass composition. The addition of 200 × 10- 9 organic chromium to fattening pig diets significantly improved carcass quality, reduced backfat thickness, and increased lean body mass.

Chromium supplementation can increase the concentration of endogenous growth hormones in pigs. Chromium picolinate, chromium nicotinate, and chromium yeast were added to the feed of growing and fattening pigs at a concentration of 0.2 mg/kg, respectively, and the results showed that the differences between these three kinds of organic chromium in the daily weight gain and feed-to-weight ratios of growing and fattening pigs were significant.

Improve the Quality of Livestock Products

It was found that the addition of 0.2 mg/kg chromium pyridine carboxylate to the diet of 3-week-old broiler chickens increased ketone body protein content and decreased fat content. The study showed that the addition of 800 μg/kg of organochromium (chromium picolinate powder) to the diet increased body weight, daily weight gain, and feed conversion ratio of broilers at 56d of age by 7.5%, 11.9%, and 6.5%, respectively. The results showed that chromium supplementation to broilers kept at high temperatures (30-35℃) could increase the weight gain and feed conversion ratio. In the control group, 0.25 mg/kg chromium pyridine carboxylate, 0.50 mg/kg chromium pyridine carboxylate, 0.25 mg/kg chromium citrate, and 0.50 mg-kg-1 chromium citrate were added.

The experiment was divided into 2 phases: pre-growth period (1-28 d of age) and growth period (29-42 d of age). During the growth period, only 0.50 mg/kg chromium pyridine carboxylate significantly increased the daily weight gain and decreased the feed-to-weight ratio compared to the control, and had the same results from the whole period. Both 0.50 mg/kg chromium citrate and 0.50 mg/kg chromium pyridine carboxylate significantly increased leg muscle percentage in the pre-growth period of broilers as compared to the control and had no significant effect on the growth period.

Applications:

For Feed Product：

Chromium picolinate powder can be used as a feed additive, which can increase the output rate and survival rate of livestock meat, eggs, milk, and offspring, and promote the rapid growth of livestock and poultry by reducing sugar and fat. Improve feed return rate and regulate the endocrine system. Enhance the reproductive performance of livestock and poultry, improve the quality of livestock and poultry carcasses, and increase lean meat percentage. Reduce stress in livestock and enhance their ability to resist stress. Enhance the immune function of livestock and poultry, and reduce the risks of livestock and poultry breeding.

For Health Products:

Chromium picolinate is a more stable chromium compound that can increase the biological activity of insulin, with functions such as promoting glucose and lipid metabolism, which in turn has an adjunctive effect on the treatment of type II diabetes. Chromium picolinate powder can be used as a health food additive.
