Poult Sci · 2026 · Meta-analysis / systematic review
A meta-analysis of the effects and relationship between guanidinoacetic acid and the growth performance of broiler chickens

Conclusion: The meta-refgression suggested that 0.06% GAA supplementation increased final body weight by approximately 2.11% (60 g) in Ross 308 broilers. Collectively, the results confirm that GAA exerts a robust, dose-limited benefit of growth efficiency in broiler chickens, thereby supporting its incorporation into Arg or energy deficient diets that would have potential economic benefit.
