The trial involved 300-day-old broiler chicks (“VenCobb430y” strain) randomly allocated into five equal groups viz. T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4, of 60 chicks each, with four replicates and 15 chicks in each replica. Group T0 (control) received a standard broiler diet according to BIS, (2007), Group T1 and T2 received a corn-soy-based standard diet (vegetarian) supplemented with Creatine monohydrate (CMH) @ 0.1 and 0.15%, respectively, whereas, Group T3 and T4 received corn-soy and fish meal based standard diet (non-vegetarian) supplemented with CMH @ 0.1 and 0.15%, respectively. The trial lasted for six weeks. The diets were formulated using conventional feed ingredients. The final live body weight of group T1 was significantly (P<0.05) higher than group T0, T3 and T4. The mean body weight gain of group T1 was significantly (P<0.05) higher than group T0, T3 and T4. The mean feed consumption was comparable among different experimental groups. The mean weekly feed conversion ratio of group T1 was significantly (P<0.01) higher than groups T0, T3 and T4. The average serum protein and albumin values for groups T1 and T2 were significantly (P<0.01) higher in the group T1 and T2 than T0, T3 and T4 groups. The average serum globulin, BUN, average serum creatinine, SGPT, SGOT values were comparable among different experimental groups. The net profit per bird and net profit per kg live body weight were higher in group T1 followed by the control, T3, T2, and T4 group. Thus, it is concluded that supplementation of Creatine monohydrate powder @ 0.1% in corn-soy-based broiler feed is beneficial in improving weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and blood biochemical profile and such supplementation is also cost-effective. Supplementation of Creatine monohydrate powder @ 0.15% in corn-soy-based diet and 0.1% or 0.15% in a corn-soy-fish meal-based diet is beneficial in improving the overall performance of birds but not cost-effective.
