Used in this study, 21 local Awassi lambs age 3–4 months and primary weight of 21.5 kg were period the experiment 3 months to study the effect of chromium in the blood biochemical properties (cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, glucose, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), The study showed a significant difference (P <0.05) for the treatment of 600 μg Chromium Yeast on control treatment and the other of the treatments for the total protein trait for the first period of the experiment. In the second period of the experiment, the added treatments did not have a significant effect on the studied traits, except the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), where all the added treatments of low-density lipoproteins compared to control. While triglycerides, total protein, glucose and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) to 300 μg Chromium Chloride compared with control for the third period. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were decreased in all additive treatments compared to control and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) increased with 300 μg Chromium picolinate compared to other treatments for the same period.
