Abstract: A feeding trial was carried out to determine effect of chromium supplementation from different sources on performance of broilers. The five treatments were designated as C i.e. control group fed on basal diet and T1 and T2 treatment groups supplemented with 200ppb and 400ppb level of chromium picolinate in and likewise T3 and T4 treatment group were supplemented with 200ppb and 400ppb level of Chromium chloride in the experimental broiler starter and finisher ration, respectively All the rations formulated for various treatments were made iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. Body weight, weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured. Chromium supplementation in diet had a significant effect on Body weight, weight gain, feed consumption and FCR. Looking to the performance of broilers in terms of live body weight gain suggested that inclusion of 400ppb feed of chromium picolinate is quite effective and could be a viable proposition for lucrative rearing of broilers for meat production.
