AB  - A feeding trial was carried out to determine the effects of chromium methionine 
      (Cr-Met) chelate and forage level over two years, 1(st) fattening and 2(nd) 
      fattening period on growth parameters, carcass characteristics and blood 
      metabolites of 46 Korean native (Hanwoo, Bos Taurus, BW = 183 +/- 44 kg) steers. 
      Treatments were: 1) Steers in the low forage (LF) group were fed diets that 
      consisted of 60% concentrate and 40% forage; 2) Steers in the high forage (HF) 
      group were fed diets that consisted of 40% concentrate and 60% forage. Following 
      the 1(st) fattening period, steers (BW = 480 +/- 37.6 kg) were randomly assigned to 
      four treatment groups: LF (40 F plus no Cr-Met supplementation in the 2(nd) 
      fattening period), LFCM (40LF plus added 400 ppb of Cr-Met during the 2(nd) 
      fattening period), HF (60 F plus no added Cr-Met during the 2(nd) fattening 
      period) and HFCM (60 F plus added 400 ppb of Cr-Met in the 2(nd) fattening 
      period). Dry matter intake of the treatment diets did not differ during the 
      raising and 1(th) fattening period (P > 0.05). The ADG in the raising period 
      showed no difference between the 40 F and 60 F groups (P > 0.05). Carcass 
      characteristics including rib-eye area and meat yield index were higher in HF 
      than the other treatment groups (P < 0.05). The HF group tended to show a higher 
      (P = 0.08) marbling score than the LF group whereas the HFCM group showed a 
      higher marbling score than the LFCM group (P < 0.05). HDL was higher and LDL 
      lower in groups fed with Cr-Met than in other groups whereas glucose showed the 
      lowest value in HF group (P < 0.05). Triglyceride (TG), Cholesterol, PUN and 
      total protein (TP) were the same among all treatment groups (P > 0.05). The 
      Insulin concentration in the blood was significantly higher for the HFCM group 
      than for the LF, LFCM and HF groups (P < 0.05). It is concluded that 
      supplementation of chromium-methionine chelate could improve meat quality in beef 
      steers.
