GuanAMINO®

Feed raw materials are the source of energy for the animal but are often unable to supply sufficient creatine. By boosting creatine levels more effectively than direct supplementation, GuanAMINO® ensures optimal energy metabolism, particularly in muscle tissue. This improves weight gain and feed conversion rates, allowing broilers to reach their full growth potential while consuming less feed. GuanAMINO® also helps reduce health issues and improve animal welfare. It decreases breast meat myopathies, lowers heat stress and mortality rates, enhances bone strength, mitigates transport stress, and reduces oxidative stress.

By incorporating GuanAMINO® into poultry diets, producers can effectively reduce the global warming, eutrophication, and acidification potential associated with broiler production. For example, when looking at the life cycle of a broiler, starting at the egg production and ending at the slaughter, the evaluation for the global warming potential of broiler production has shown a possible improvement of approximately 2% with on-top supplementation. This was due to better FCR and hatching rate. For the matrix-value approach there could be a 7% improvement due to the lower impact through the modified diet (27% less soybean oil). 

Creatine acts as a battery as well as an energy transporter, mainly in muscle tissue but basically for all cells. In particular, creatine stores and carries energy in the form of creatine phosphate that can regenerate the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal supplier of energy in cells, at times of high energy demand. In other words: optimal levels of creatine inside the cells of your birds lead to optimum energy-availability and -efficiency.
