Supplemental Chromium in Kent NexGen Advanced Pig Starters
- Chromium is a trace mineral that helps improve the cellular uptake of glucose, which provides energy to support biological processes such as growth and immunity. Chromax branded chromium tripicolinate is a scientifically researched source of organic, highly bioavailable chromium that when fed to sows was found to improve the number of pigs weaned as well as having positive effects on carcass leanness when fed to finishing pigs.
- Based on the benefits observed in our series of nursery pig studies, such as improved early performance, improved livability, decreased treatments, and favorable economic responses to added Chromax, we have incorporated organic chromium from Chromax into all of our early wean advanced starters.
