Dietary guanidinoacetic acid supplementation improves water holding capacity and lowers free amino acid concentration of fresh meat in finishing pigs fed with various dietary protein levels
The current study was carried out to detect the effect of dietary guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) supplementation on carcass characteristics and meat quality in finishing pigs fed different dietary crude protein (CP) levels. Sixty-four barrows with an initial body weight of 73.05 ± 2.34 kg were randomly...

Zusammenfassung: | The current study was carried out to detect the effect of dietary guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) supplementation on carcass characteristics and meat quality in finishing pigs fed different dietary crude protein (CP) levels. Sixty-four barrows with an initial body weight of 73.05 ± 2.34 kg were randomly allocated into 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a 2 (100% vs. 125% NRC CP level) × 2 (0 vs. 300 mg/kg GAA) factorial arrangement (n = 7). The feeding trial lasted for 49 d. GAA supplementation significantly reduced drip loss (P = 0.01), free water distribution (T23 peak area ratio) (P = 0.05) and the concentrations of free alanine, threonine, methionine and isoleucine (P |
