Chromium for Turkeys

What is KemTRACE^® Chromium?

KemTRACE^® Chromium – the first product of its kind on the market – is a water soluble, highly bioavailable, organic source of chromium that helps improve glucose utilization and reduce the negative impacts of stress for increased cellular energy and function. This results in improved growth and performance in turkeys. KemTRACE Chromium has been fed to millions of animals around the globe since its introduction in 2000. It is registered in more than 40 countries worldwide and is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-reviewed form of chromium propionate.

Essential to Your Turkey Operation

Kemin conducted an 84-day trial to support the performance and animal safety of chromium propionate in turkeys. Trial results indicated that turkeys fed KemTRACE Chromium over those 84 days had significantly greater average daily gain and heavier body weight at 84 days and tended to gain more efficiently than those not receiving supplemental chromium.
