Chromium Picolinate Feed Grade
CAS Number: 14639-25-9
Chromium Picolinate is an organic chromium(III) compound used in animal nutrition to enhance insulin sensitivity, improve glucose utilisation, and support lean tissue deposition and reproductive performance in swine and poultry. It is approved as a feed additive in the EU, USA, and other major markets for pigs and broilers. Our feed-grade product provides trivalent chromium in a highly bioavailable picolinate chelate form.
