Research Progress on the Anabolism and Guanidinoacetic Acid in Cattle Production
Guanidinoacetic acid is an amino acid derivative,which is a direct precursor of creatine synthesis in animals.It can increase creatine and save arginine.At present,guanidine acetic acid is widely used as a feed additive in animal production and participates in animal muscle synthesis and energy metabolism.This paper reviewed the biological function of guanidinoacetic acid and the application effect and mechanism in ruminant cattle production at home and abroad,in order to provide theoretical basis for the application of guanidinoacetic acid in animal husbandry production.
