AB  - Twenty-two newborn Holstein female calves (BW = 39.7 +/- 0.40 kg) were used to 
      investigate the effects of chromium-l-methionine (Cr-Met) supplementation of 
      colostrum for 3d after birth and mature milk up to wk 8 on feed intake, growth 
      performance, health status, and metabolic and endocrine traits. Calves were 
      randomly assigned to 2 groups, each consisting of 11 animals: 1) control and 2) 
      0.03 mg of supplemental Cr/kg of BW(0.75). Body weight, height at withers, and 
      hearth girth were measured weekly. Dry matter intake, rectal temperature, fecal 
      score, and respiratory score were recorded daily. Blood samples were collected at 
      12, 24, and 72 h after birth, and then every week up to 8 wk. Chromium did not 
      affect mean body weight, dry matter intake, and withers height, but it increased 
      hearth girth and average daily gain, tended to increase final BW, and decreased 
      feed conversion ratio. Respiration rate increased and fecal score decreased with 
      Cr, and rectal temperature tended to decrease with Cr. No Cr x time interactions 
      were observed for performance and health status results except for fecal score. 
      Blood glucose, insulin, insulin-to-glucose ratio, insulin-like growth factor-I, 
      total protein, and triiodothyronine were not affected, whereas blood 
      beta-hydroxybutyrate, nonesterified fatty acids, cholesterol, cortisol, and thyroxin 
      were affected by Cr supplementation. Supplemental Cr-Met decreased blood 
      beta-hydroxybutyrate at 72 h and in wk 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and decreased blood 
      nonesterified fatty acids at 12h and in wk 3, 4, and 5 after birth. Blood 
      cholesterol decreased in all sampling times, except for 12h and wk 7. Chromium 
      decreased blood cortisol at 24h and in wk 2, 4, and 8. In conclusion, the present 
      results demonstrate the beneficial effects of colostrum and milk supplementation 
      with Cr to improve the performance and metabolic status of newborn calves.
