Guanidino acetic acid paired with rumen-protected betaine markedly enhances sheep growth, driven by elevated intestinal nutrient digestion and uptake.
Ether extract apparent digestibility increased notably alongside plasma creatine on day 30, and duodenal mucosal concentrations remained high on day 60.
Assessment of eighteen young rams categorized into three feeding regimens revealed enriched duodenal oxidative phosphorylation, supporting metabolic capacity.
