This study aimed to investigate the effects of chromic chloride (CrCl 3 ) on Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn contents in the brain and serum of chicken. Seventy-two chickens were randomly divided into four groups and treated with different doses of CrCl 3 via drinking water: 0, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 LD 50 fo...
