AB  - The current experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of different 
      dietary chromium supplementation sources, chromium oxide (Cr(2) O(3) ), chromium 
      methionine (Cr-Met), or chromium yeast (Cr-yeast), at different levels each (500 
      or 1,000 ppb) on growth performance, physiological traits, and carcass 
      characteristics of broiler chicks. A total of 490 seven-day-old Arbor Acres 
      chicks were randomly distributed into 7 experimental groups each in 10 replicates 
      of 7 birds each. The groups were control, 500 ppb Cr(2) O(3) , 1,000 ppb Cr(2) 
      O(3) , 500 ppb Cr-Met, 1,000 ppb Cr-Met, 500 ppb Cr-yeast, and 1,000 ppb 
      Cr-yeast. The results showed significant superiority of the organic chromium 
      sources (Cr-Met or Cr-yeast) concerning body weight and weight gain, the group 
      supplemented with 1,000 ppb Cr-yeast consumed the lowest feed (3,185 g) and had 
      the best feed conversion ratio (1.60) compared to the control (1.73). The 
      chromium treatments recorded significantly better protein and lipid profile, 
      antioxidant status, and immunological parameters than the control group. 
      Similarly, dietary chromium supplementation increased carcass yield and decreased 
      intestinal pathogenic bacteria. In conclusion, supplementing broiler diets with 
      organic chromium sources at 1,000 ppb promotes growth performance, physiological 
      traits, and carcass characteristics; such chromium treatments enhanced the 
      antioxidant status and immunity levels of broilers.
