Supplemental Effect of Creatine and Carnitine with theirCombination on some productive traits of broiler chickens.

Abstract

The research was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation of Creatine and Carnitine with their combination on some productive traits of Ross 308 broiler chicks.                                                                                       

           Atotal number of 450, one old chicks were used in the research , those chicks were randomly alloted in to 9 equal treatments and each treatment included 2 equal replicates.Chicks were fed on diets supplemented with Creatine and Carnintine. treatments were arranged as follow:

           The 1^st  treatment  fed on an ordinary diet with out any supplement  where as the 2^nd and 3^rd treatments fed on a diet supplemented  with 100 and 200 mg/kg Creatine respectively. The 4^th and 5^th treatments fed diets
supplemented with 100 and 200 mg/kg Carnintine respectively. The 6^th treatment supplemented with 100 mg / kg Creatine plus 100 mg / kg Carnintine , mean while the 7^th treatment supplemented with 200 mg / kg Creatine plus 200 mg/kg Carnintine. The 8^th treatment supplemented with 100 mg / kg Creatine plus 200 mg / kg Carnintine and the 9^th treatment supplemented with 200 mg / kg Creatine plus 100 mg / kg Carnintine. Chicks in the experimental treatments fed adlibitum on the starter diet till 21 day , then transferred to the growing diet till 42 day.

 Results illustrated surpassing of live body weights , weight gains as well as improvement of feed conversion ratio with reduction of the utilized feed of broiler chickens that fed diets supplemented  with Creatine and Carnintine
