Organic yeast chromium supplementation for
stressed layer
Implementing Organization
National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (NIANP)
Project Overview
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture was grown in the laboratory and enriched with chromium. The chromium incorporation is directly proportional to the incubation time. Organic chromium content in yeast culture varied from 154 to 226 mg /kg of yeast. The chromium-enriched yeast was used for feeding of stressed birds to alleviate production loss due to stress.
