Research Progress of Guanidinoacetic Acid in Nutrition of Cattle and Sheep
The storage stability of guanidinoacetic acid is higher than creatine,creatine is produced by transmethylation in animals,and has various biological effects in cattle and sheep,such as enhancing digestive function,promoting muscle generation and improving muscle quality,antioxidant and so on.It is an excellent feed additive for promoting growth.In this paper,the physical properties,additive forms,biological functions and nutritional research progress of guanidinoacetic acid in cattle and sheep in recent years were reviewed,in order to provide theoretical and practical reference for the application of guanidinoacetic acid in cattle and sheep production.
