Chromium is an essential trace mineral primarily involved in the metabolism of glucose. Chromium potentiates the action of insulin by facilitating the binding of insulin to receptors and thus improving glucose utilization. Feed ingredients commonly used in swine diets contain a significant amount of chromium, ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 ppb,but bio availability is typically low.Organic chromium sources, such as amino acid chelate chromium, have higher bioavailability and utilization in pig diets than inorganic chromium sources (such as chromium chloride). The use of chromium sources is legally allowed in swine diets up to 200 ppb according to a letter of non-objection from the Food and Drug Administration. Dietary addition of chromium is most often targeted to finishing pigs and sows.
Addition of chromium to diets for finishing pigs has been related to improvements in growth performance and carcass leanness, with no impact on characteristics related to pork quality. The mechanism of chromium to improve lean deposition is not clear, but it could be due to the stimulation of protein deposition and lipid degradation as a response to insulin activity. However, the effects of chromium on grow-finish pigs have been modest and not consistent. The variation in chromium status of the pig, amount of available chromium in the diet, and environmental conditions could contribute to inconsistency. Due to this variability and inconsistency in performance, there is currently no estimate for chromium requirements for swine.
Biological functions
The biological function of chromium lies mainly in its composition of GTF as Cr3+, which assists insulin to function and affects sugar, lipid, protein and nucleic acid metabolism. Chromium is an essential element for insulin to function during glucose metabolism. Chromium can also affect the metabolism of animals by regulating the efficiency of insulin action and improve the immune function of animals, etc.
Chromium and sugar metabolism
Chromium is a substance that maintains glucose levels in animals. The two active substances that have important roles in the system of maintaining the balance of blood glucose concentration in animals are insulin and GTF. insulin promotes the synthesis of hepatic gluconeogenes, which leads to the reduction of blood glucose concentration. GTF is a co-factor of insulin that assists and enhances the action of insulin in the body, and chromium is the main active component of GTF, so the typical biological function of chromium is to act as an enhancer of insulin.
Organic chromium exerts its effect mainly by enhancing the number of insulin receptors on the cell surface or activating the disulfide bond between insulin and membrane receptors to enhance the binding between insulin and receptor sites and stimulate the utilization of glucose in peripheral tissues.
In addition, the sugars obtained by animals from feeds are biooxidized into glucose in the body, and the enzymatic catalysis of glucose phosphate translocase is required for glucose enzymes in the body for energy supply, and the synergistic effect of Cr3+ and Mn2+ has the effect of initiating and enhancing the activity of this enzyme to promote glucose enzymes for energy supply.
When animals eat organochromium-rich diets, organochromium is absorbed by the body and enhances the function of insulin, which accelerates the migration rate of glucose in the blood, i.e. glucose is rapidly transferred from the liver to other tissues and utilized.
Chromium and lipid metabolism
The role of chromium on lipid metabolism is mainly to maintain the balance of cholesterol in blood, influence the synthesis of fat and cholesterol in animal liver and the vitality of lipid synthesis and decomposition enzymes in adipose tissue, and promote the redistribution of fat. Chromium supplementation in production is mainly through the regulation of various lipoprotein content and cholesterol metabolism to produce beneficial regulation and improvement of the body's lipid metabolism. Trivalent chromium mainly affects the synthesis and clearance of fat and cholesterol in the liver of animals and promotes the redistribution of fat, which in turn increases the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood and suppresses the serum cholesterol level.
Abraham et al. reported that after feeding animals a high cholesterol diet to induce atherosclerosis and then supplementing the diet with chromium, it was found that the arterial plaque was significantly reduced and the arterial cholesterol level was also significantly reduced.
Chromium and protein and nucleic acid metabolism
The main effect of chromium on amino acids is to promote the entry of amino acids into cells, thus improving protein synthesis.
Chromium binds to pyrophosphates, nucleoproteins, glycine, methionine and serine in animal blood, accelerating the entry of these amino acids into cells, promoting intracellular protein and nucleic acid synthesis, prompting partial utilization of urea nitrogen in blood as a nitrogen source for amino acid and protein synthesis, and enhancing protein synthesis and deposition.
Chromium is more abundant in nucleic acids, affecting the synthesis of nucleoproteins, RNA and nucleic acids, protecting RNA from thermal denaturation, and helping to maintain the structural integrity and stability of nucleic acids.
The addition of yeast chromium to broiler duck diets reduced dry matter excretion by 15.52%, reduced protein excretion by 9.72% and increased nitrogen retention.
Conclusion of chelated organo chromium
Chromium is an essential trace element for livestock and poultry growth, is the active center of GTF, and assists insulin to play an important role in sugar, fat and protein metabolism and nucleic acid synthesis in animals. Adding organic chromium in livestock production is of great significance. Adding organic chromium in the diet can significantly improve animal performance, enhance immunity, resist stress, improve reproductive performance and improve carcass quality. The most suitable amount of chromium for animals of different species, different states and different physiological periods needs to be further studied.
The effect of protein chromium
Chromium can promote growth and improve carcass quality of broilers.
Adding proper amount of organic chromium to pig diet can improve production performance, improve carcass quality, increase lean meat percentage, increase pH, prevent lipid oxidation, improve meat color, and reduce PSE and DFD meat.
The addition of organic chromium in ruminant diet can improve the production performance, enhance and improve the immunity and stress state of animals.

Summarize
Chromium is an essential trace element for the growth of livestock and poultry. It is the active center of GTF and plays an important role in assisting insulin in the metabolism of sugar, fat, protein and nucleic acid synthesis in animals. Although there is little requirement of organic chromium in livestock and poultry diets, it is of great significance to add organic chromium in livestock production. Adding organic chromium in feed can significantly improve the performance, immunity, stress resistance, reproductive performance and carcass quality of animals. The optimum amount of chromium in animals of different species, different states and different physiological periods remains to be further studied.
