Influence of supplemental chromium picolinate on nitrogen balance, dry matter digestibility and carcass traits in growing-finishing pigs

Four trials were conducted to determine the influence of feeding 200 ppb Cr as chromium picolinate (CrPic) on dry matter digestibility, nitrogen balance and leanness in growing-finishing pigs. In three similar trials, 12 crossbred barrows (littermate pairs) were used in each trial for two nitrogen b...
