| Description |
A study was conducted to assess the effect of chromium on growth performance of crossbred (Large White Yorkshire X Landrace) pigs under swill feeding, at an organized pig farm Tambaram, for a period of 5 months. Twenty four, early weaned piglets were selected for the purpose of the study and were randomly divided into three groups of eight each. All the treatment groups were subjected to intensive system of management and standard health coverage protocols were followed as per the farm guidelines. Group I and Group II were supplemented with chromium in the form of chromium tripicolinate at the rate of 0.1 and 0.2 mg per kg of swill feed respectively and Group III was kept as control. There was no significant difference with respect to fortnightly body weight, fortnightly body weight gain and feed efficiency.
