Dietary guanidinoacetic acid significantly enhanced average daily growth while improving muscle shear force and reducing drip loss in Hu sheep over a 90-day feeding period.
In this trial, 144 weaned male Hu sheep were randomly assigned to diets with 0, 500, 750, or 1000 mg/kg guanidinoacetic acid to evaluate growth, antioxidant enzymes, and rumen fluid.
These findings indicate that guanidinoacetic acid promotes creatine biosynthesis and ruminal fermentation, supporting its use as a feed additive to improve sheep meat quality.
