Abstract
Effect of organic selenium and chromium supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of broiler chickens was studied using 200 one-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chickens in a 2×2 factorial arrangements with 4 treatments, 5 replicates and 10 birds each. Experimental treatments were including 2 levels of Se-Met (0 and 0.4 mg/kg diet) and 2 levels of Cr-Met (0 and 0.4 mg/kg diet). At the end of trial, two birds per replicates were randomly selected and slaughtered to determine carcass traits and meat quality. Cr-Met supplementation increased feed intake during the grower and the whole period (P<0.05). The birds receiving 0.4 mg/kg of Se-Met and Cr-Met diets had the highest body weight gain (BWG) and the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the grower, finisher and whole periods (P<0.05). The highest BWG and the lowest FCR in whole period belonged to the birds fed by both elements (P<0.05). The highest relative weight of carcass and breast was observed in birds fed with Se-Met and Cr-Met (P<0.05). The highest relative weight of carcass was seen in birds fed both elements (P<0.05). Addition of Se-Met and Cr-Met increased the moisture and water holding capacity and decreased the cooking loss and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of breast meat (P<0.05). The interaction effect of treatments on meat quality was significant, as the highest water holding capacity and the lowest cooking loss and MDA was seen in broilers fed by both Cr-Met and Se-Met (P<0.05). According to the results of this experiment, it is suggested to add Se-Met and Cr-Met to diet to improve growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality and stability of broiler chickens.
