AB  - Thirty-two multiparous Holstein cows were used to investigate the effects of 
      chromium-l-methionine (Cr-Met) supplementation and dietary grain source on 
      metabolic indices throughout the periparturient period. Cows were fed a total 
      mixed ration with the concentrate portion based on ground barley (barley based 
      diet, BBD)--or ground corn (corn-based diet, CBD) from 21 days before anticipated 
      calving through 28 days after calving. The Cr-Met was supplemented at dosages of 
      0 or 0.08 mg of Cr/kg of metabolic body weight throughout the experiment. Thus, 
      treatments were in a 2 (Cr-Met) x 2 (grain sources) factorial arrangement. Plasma 
      glucose, non-esterified fatty acids, triglyceride, very low-density lipoprotein, 
      blood urea nitrogen (BUN), insulin, glucagon, cortisol and insulin-like growth 
      factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations were not affected by chromium supplementation on 
      calving day (d 0). However, there was a trend for decreased beta-hydroxybutyrate 
      (BHBA) and increased cholesterol on d 0 in cows fed the Cr supplemented diet. On 
      d 21 postpartum (wk 3 p.p.), plasma glucagon concentration tended to be greater 
      in cows fed the Cr supplemented diet. However, other plasma metabolite and 
      hormone measures were not affected by Cr supplementation in wk 3 p.p. There was 
      no effect of grain source on d 0 plasma metabolic and endocrine measures. In wk 3 
      p.p., a significant difference was found only for plasma concentration of 
      glucagon that was higher for cows fed the BBD compared with the CBD. There was an 
      interaction of Cr-Met supplementation and grain source in wk 3 p.p. plasma 
      concentration of BUN to decrease in CBD and increase in BBD, supplemented with 
      Cr-Met. No Cr by grain interactions were observed for other plasma metabolic 
      variables on d 0 and in wk 3 p.p. These results indicate that Cr-Met 
      supplementation and substituting barley grain with corn throughout the transition 
      period have only moderate effects on metabolic and endocrine parameters.
