Abstract. Chromium is included in the group of essential trace elements and is involved in oxidative stress and metabolism. Of the known forms, chromium in the ultradispersed form stimulates the activity of digestive enzymes, it is more accessible and active. In this study, a comparative analysis of the effect of ultrafine particles of Cr2O3 and chromium picolinate (PicCr) on the digestibility of nutrients and the activity of digestive enzymes in an artificial rumen was carried out using the in vitro method. Ruminal fluid taken from 9-month calves of the Kazakh white-headed breed taken through a chronic ruminal fistula is the object of the study. Ultrafine Cr2O3 particles and the organic form of Chromium Picolinate were used for the study. Additional introduction of Cr2O3 UFPs into the diet significantly increased the digestibility of dry matter relative to the control by 6.9%, and PicCr - by 12.7% (P≤0.05). The introduction of experimental samples increased the activity of digestive enzymes - amylase and protease in the ruminal fluid. So, relative to the control in the sample I, an increase in amylase activity by 69.4%, and proteases - by 31.4%, in sample II - by 42.6% and 63.6%, respectively, was registered. Biochemical analysis of ruminal fluid showed that the inclusion of chromium, regardless of its form, contributed to a decrease in the level of calcium and total protein in the experimental groups I and II relative to control values. Phosphorus levels, on the other hand, increased in two groups. Thus, Cr2O3 and PicCr UFPs in biotic doses improve the digestibility of dry matter of the feed, it is expressed by an increased activity of enzymatic processes in the ruminal fluid.
