Abstract: Poultry production is one of the rapidly growing sub sectors among the livestock sector in India. Advances in broiler chicken genetics, nutrition and management have resulted in improved performance of birds. Hence, in the present investigation we explored the use organic chromium to modulate oxidative stress and enhance production performance of broiler chickens. Total 96 day old Cobb broiler chicks were used in the experiment. Broilers were divided into 4 groups and each group consisting of 24 birds in 3 replicates. T1 group was kept as control. T2, T3, T4 group was supplemented with chromium (2 mg/kg of feed) from inorganic, 50 % inorganic + 50 % organic and organic form respectively. Mean plasma superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidise and catalase concentration were non significantly different in all groups. Significantly (p<0.05) higher mean plasma TBA value was found in control group. No significant difference was found for mean plasma glucose level between all groups. Mean total protein, albumin and globulin were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T4. Mean body weight gain, feed intake, FER and PI were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T4. In the present investigation organic Cr supplementation showed a better antioxidant status, which could be translated into better production performance and lower mortality.
