A study was conducted to investigate the effects of supplemental chromium picolinate (CrPic) or manganese proteinate (MnPro) on heat-distressed broiler chickens. In a completely randomized design, diets were supplemented with either 200 or 400 micro g Cr/kg as CrPic or 0, 60 and 240 mg Mn/kg as MnPro and fed to broilers under heat stress (HS) or thermoneutral (TN) conditions.
