ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the hepatic metabolism and performance of broilers fed reduced-energy diets (50 kcal/kg less), with or without guanidinoacetic acid (GAA). A total of 432-day-old male chicks of the Cobb 500 lineage were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments and eight replications. The treatments consisted of a basal diet (BD), basal diet with a reduction of 50 kcal/kg (RBD) and a basal diet with a reduction of 50 kcal/kg supplemented […]

ABSTRACT In this study, we evaluated how guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) addition in diets with various metabolizable energy (ME) contents affects the performance of broiler chickens. We also estimated the equivalence of GAA in ME. We distributed 1,280 one-day-old broilers in a completely randomized design with eight treatments, eight replicates, and twenty birds per experimental unit. Treatments were based on ME levels (2,775-2,875-2,975 kcal/kg; 2,850-2,950-3,050 kcal/kg; 2,925-3,025-3,125 kcal/kg; or 3,000-3,100-3,200 kcal/kg, from 1 to 7, 8 to 21, and 22 to […]
