Abstract

The levels of essential microelements in poultry feed must be high enough to satisfy the birds' requirements, yet low enough to ensure the safety of both animal feed and meat and eggs for human nutrition. The essential role of vanadium (V), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) in poultry nutrition is still under investigation, while their toxicity was well established a long time ago. Even though some feeds might represent a potential source of harmful amounts of microelements, the combination of relevant quality control programs in the animal feed industry, as well as the application of good production practices and the adequate education of nutritionists can substantially reduce the risks associated with overfeeding such minerals. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the role, importance and needs of poultry for V, Cr and Ni.
