The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) on the growth performance, creatine and energy metabolism, and carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire pigs (n = 180, 33.61 ± 3.91 kg average BW) were blocked by weight and sex, and allotted to 5 treatments with 6 replicates (3 gilts and 3 barrows per replicate pen). Diets were corn-soybean meal-basal diets supplemented with 0, 300, 600, 900, and 1,200 mg/kg of GAA and fed to the pigs for 98 d. From days 1 to 98, G:F increased (linear, P < 0.05) with increasing addition of dietary GAA. Using a broken-line model, the optimum level of dietary GAA was 300 mg/kg during the overall experimental period (days 1 to 98) to maximize G:F. Hot carcass weight, carcass length, and lean percentage showed a tendency to increase (quadratic, 0.05 < P < 0.10) with increasing addition of dietary GAA. On day 98, serum GAA and liver creatine tended to increase (linear, P = 0.10, 0.07) as dietary GAA increased. In addition, serum ATP on day 98 increased linearly (linear, P < 0.01), and muscle ATP and adenosine monophosphate increased quadratically (quadratic, P = 0.05) with incremental GAA supplementation. In Exp. 2, Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire pigs (n = 180, 53.19 ± 5.63 kg average BW) were blocked by weight and sex, and allotted to 5 treatments with 6 replicates (3 gilts and 3 barrows per replicate pen). Diets were corn-soybean meal-basal diets supplemented with 0, 150, 300, 600, and 1,200 mg/kg of GAA for 35 d. As dietary GAA increased, final BW, ADG, and G:F increased quadratically (quadratic, P < 0.01), and 300 mg/kg of GAA maximized ADG and final BW (P < 0.05).The results indicate that dietary GAA could increase the creatine and ATP load in the tissues of pigs and accordingly improve growth performance. Dietary supplementation with 300 mg/kg of GAA was suitable to maximize the growth performance of growing-finishing pigs.
本研究旨在探讨胍基乙酸(GAA)对生长育肥猪生长性能、肌酸和能量代谢以及胴体特性的影响。在实验 1 中,杜洛克×长白×大约克夏猪(n = 180,平均体重 33.61 ± 3.91 kg)按体重和性别分组,分为 5 个处理组,每个处理组设 6 个重复(每个重复栏 3 头母猪和 3 头公猪)。日粮为玉米-豆粕基础日粮,添加 0、300、600、900 和 1200 mg/kg 的 GAA,试验期为 98 d。从第 1 天到第 98 天,随着日粮 GAA 添加量的增加,G:F 呈线性增加(P < 0.05)。使用折线模型,在整个试验期(第 1 天至第 98 天),日粮 GAA 的最佳水平为 300 mg/kg,以最大限度地提高 G:F。热胴体重、胴体长和瘦肉率呈线性增加(P < 0.10)随着日粮 GAA 添加量的增加。第 98 天,血清 GAA 和肝脏肌酸含量呈线性增加(P = 0.10,0.07),随着日粮 GAA 添加量的增加而增加。此外,第 98 天血清 ATP 呈线性增加(线性,P < 0.01),肌肉 ATP 和单磷酸腺苷呈二次增加(二次,P = 0.05)随着 GAA 补充量的增加。在实验 2 中,杜洛克×长白×大约克夏猪(n = 180,平均体重 53.19 ± 5.63 kg)按体重和性别分组,分为 5 个处理组,每个处理组设 6 个重复(每个重复栏 3 头母猪和 3 头公猪)。日粮为玉米-豆粕基础日粮,添加 0、150、300、600 和 1200 mg/kg 的 GAA,试验期为 35 d。随着日粮 GAA 的增加,末重、ADG 和 G:F 呈二次增加(二次,P < 0.01),300 mg/kg 的 GAA 使 ADG 和末重达到最大(P < 0.05)。结果表明,日粮 GAA 可增加猪组织中的肌酸和 ATP 负荷,从而提高生长性能。日粮补充 300 mg/kg 的 GAA 适合最大限度地提高生长育肥猪的生长性能。
