TI  - Chromium Methionine and Ractopamine Supplementation in Summer Diets for 
      Grower-Finisher Pigs Reared under Heat Stress.

AB  - This study aimed to determine the effects of the dietary supplementation of 
      chromium methionine (CrMet) and ractopamine (RAC) on pigs in the 
      growing-finishing stage under heat stress. The parameters evaluated included 
      productive behavior, blood components, carcass characteristics, organ weight, and 
      meat quality. This study was conducted during the summer season in Sonora, 
      Mexico. The treatments included: (1) control diet (CON), a base diet (BD) 
      formulated to satisfy the nutritional requirements of pigs; (2) RAC, BD plus 10 
      ppm RAC supplemented during the last 34 days of the study; (3) CrMet-S, BD 
      supplemented with 0.8 ppm of Cr from CrMet during the last 34 days; and (4) 
      CrMet-L, BD supplemented with 0.8 ppm of Cr from CrMet for an 81 d period. RAC 
      supplementation improved the productive behavior and main carcass characteristics 
      of the pigs compared with CON. However, RAC and CrMet supplementation during the 
      last 34 days showed similar results in terms of weight gain, carcass quality, 
      blood components, organ weight, and meat quality. The addition of CrMet-S had a 
      moderate (although not significant) increase in productive performance and 
      carcass weight. These findings are encouraging, as they suggest that CrMet may be 
      a potential alternative for growth promotion. However, more research is needed.
