KemTRACE^® Chromium

Chromium Supplementation for Swine, Dairy and Beef Cattle, Broilers, Turkeys and Horses

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 maintenance, reproduction, growth and immunity. KemTRACE Chromium has been fed to millions of animals around the globe since its introduction in 2000. It is registered in more than 35 countries worldwide and is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-reviewed form of chromium propionate.

As an expansion of the product portfolio, in 2021 Kemin launched KemTRACE^® Chromium-OR – an organic-compliant form of chromium propionate for use in organic livestock, broiler and horse diets.
