Abstract :The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of supplemental dietary chromium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cr); on average daily gain, feed intake, feed efficiency and several serum constituents and tissue chromium contents of pregnant does, newborns and weaned growing rabbits. At the beginning of the study, 36 rabbits were randomly divided into three treatment groups as follows: 0, 200 and 400 ppb. Supplemental chromium was provided by Cr chloride incorporated into a basal diet containing 539.17 ppb Cr. Blood and tissue were collected at the end of study and analyzed for serum glutamic oxalate transaminase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SGOT);, serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SGPT);, Ca, P, Na, K, total immunoglobulins and tissue Cr contents. Supplemental Cr had no effects insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P>0.05); on average daily gain, feed intake or feed efficiency of the weaned rabbits. Supplemental Cr also did not affect insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P>0.05); serum total cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT, Ca, P, Na, K, or tissue Cr contents in any rabbit types. However, supplemental Cr increased insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P
