CAS 352-97-6
MF: C3H7N3O2
MW: 117.11
Use: Feed additive

Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is an endogenous amino acid derivative Its molecular formula is C3H7N3O2, molecular weight is 117.11, and CAS number is 352-97-6
It is the only precursor for creatine biosynthesis As a feed additive, it has the effect of improving animal growth performance and promoting muscle development. It has also been studied for dietary supplementation to improve cellular bioenergetics
1. Improving animal body size: Creatine phosphate is only present in large quantities in muscle and nerve tissues, with very little content in adipose tissue, which can promote energy transfer to muscle tissue. This is particularly significant for lean meat pigs, with a wide back and plump buttocks.
2. Promoting the growth of livestock, poultry, fish, and shrimp: Guanylacetic acid is a precursor of creatine, with stable performance and high absorption rate, which can promote the allocation of energy to muscle tissue synthesis. The weight gain of livestock and poultry increased by more than 7%, and the growth rate of fish and shrimp increased by 8%. Pigs use guanidinoacetic acid at the 50-100kg stage to reduce the feed to meat ratio by 0.2, and are slaughtered 7-10 days in advance for growth and fattening, saving more than 15kg of feed per pig.
3. Stable and safe use of the product: Guanylacetic acid is ultimately metabolized out of the animal body in the form of creatinine, with no residue in the body, effectively overcoming the toxic side effects of many banned drugs such as clenbuterol and ensuring good safety.
4. Clearing free radicals and improving meat color: Supplementing creatine can reduce the production of free radicals in mitochondria, obtain better meat color and muscle quality, accelerate the synthesis of ATP in muscles, and reduce animal heat stress reactions such as transportation and group switching.
5. Improving the reproductive performance of breeding pigs: providing sufficient energy to the reproductive glands, enhancing the number and vitality of sperm in semen.
