This work has been carried out in order to study the effects of using different resources of organic and inorganic Chrome
on production performance of broilers. 200 broilers, in a completely random plan, were allocated with five treatments and
four repetitions with ten chickens per repetition within a period of six weeks. The respective supplements were used in
treatments for Zero levels (control) (T1, 200 micrograms of Chloride Chrome per kg of feed (T2) and 200 micrograms of
(Chrome Yeast) per kg as feed (T5). The blood parameters were measured on the 21st and 42nd days respectively. Use of
Chrome supplement has caused a significant increase of level of blood VLDL (p<0.01). Chrome supplement in the 21st and
42nd days has had a significant increase of level of triglyceride (p<0.05). Organic Chrome supplement in the 21st and 42nd
days has caused a significant increase of level of total cholesterol and Chrome resources has caused a significant decrease
of level of total cholesterol (p<0.01). Chrome supplement has caused a significant increase in level of HDL (p<0.01). Using
organic Chrome supplement in the 21st and 42nd days has caused a significant increase of level of serum LDL and organic
Chrome has caused a significant decrease in serum LDL (p<0.01).
