Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the effects of chromium picolinate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CrPi); added into diet containing 710.3 ppb chromium on yield and nutrient digestibility of laying hens at low temperature. Forty-six-week-old laying hens were randomly assigned to four groups of 30 hens per group. Treatment groups were fed different supplemental dietary chromium levels. Thus, hens were fed diets with no supplemental chromium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Control Group);, 100 ppb of supplemental chromium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(100 Group);, 200 ppb of supplemental chromium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(200 Group); and 400 ppb of supplemental chromium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(400 Group);. Diet chromium concentration was detected by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy. Body weight, feed efficiency and egg production increased both linearly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P
