Abstract |
A 42
days study was conducted on 240 day-old Ross broiler chicks allocated
randomly to four dietary treatments to compare the effect of different
levels of creatine monohydrate (CrH) on blood (RBC count, PCV, Hb
concentration, MCV, MCH and MCHC) and biochemical traits (creatinine and
uric acid). Two types of diets were used, starter diet was used from one
to 21 day and then grower diet was used till the end of the experiment.
Beside control group, CMH was incorporated into the diet of broilers at
the rate of 4 g/kg (T1), 8 g/kg (T2) and 12 g/kg (T3). The results
showed that blood traits (RBC count, PCV, Hb concentration, MCV, MCH and
MCHC) of birds of all supplemented groups (T1, T2 and T3) were not
different (P<0.05) compared to control group. No significant difference
was observed among all experimental groups concerning H/L ratio.
Significant differences (P<0.05) was seen among all supplemented groups
concerning biochemical blood traits (creatinine and uric acid). In
conclusion, supplementation broiler ration with CrH did not affect the
status of the bird at the used levels of CrM.
