Chromium is an element essential for growth and
development in animals. It plays an important function in metabolic
processes involved in the regulation of glucose, proteins, lipids, and
cholesterol. Chromium from organic complexes like chromium
picolinate and chromium nicotinate is more readily absorbed than
other inorganic forms, such as chromium chloride. A number of
studies,1-3 mostly utilizing chromium picolinate, have shown that
adding chromium to pig diets during the growing-fi nishing period
can improve growth performance or lean meat yield. However, the
responses have not been consistently observed in all studies.4-7 The
exact physiological action of chromium that results in increased
carcass leanness is not clear. One possible mechanism of action is
improved insulin sensitivity of tissue, causing enhanced deposition
of dietary protein and carbohydrate in the muscle cells.
