GAA Supplement

ChemGro is a natural nutrient precursor of creatine, widely used as an animal feed additive to optimize energy metabolism, improve growth performance, and enhance meat quality.

ChemGro are primarily used in poultry, swine, ruminants, and partially in aquaculture/pets, with tailored benefits for each species:

Poultry (Broilers & Layers)

Core Efficacy:

Improve feed conversion ratio (FCR) by 4.5–8.8% and average daily gain (ADG) by 5–10%.

Enhance meat quality:

Increase breast muscle yield by ~15 g/bird, reduce drip loss, and elevate muscle pH (delays meat spoilage).

Alleviate heat stress:

Scavenge free radicals via creatine, reducing mortality in high-temperature environments.

Typical Case:

Yellow-feathered broilers supplemented with 900 mg/kg ChemGro showed optimized feed efficiency without liver damage; doses >1200 mg/kg may cause elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) (a liver function marker).

Weaners, Finishers & Sows

Core Efficacy:

Growth promotion & lean meat enhancement:

Improve ADG of finishers by 5–10%, reduce backfat thickness by 10–15%, and increase lean meat percentage by 3–5%.

Energy metabolism optimization:

Replace 5–10% dietary fat (reducing feed costs) while maintaining growth performance.

Reproductive performance improvement:

Sows supplemented with 1 g/kg ChemGro (late gestation to lactation) had 15% higher colostrum protein content and lower intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) scores in piglets.

Ruminants (Cattle & Sheep)

Core Efficacy 

Improve ADG by 5–10% and FCR by 10–12%.

Enhance meat quality:

Increase marbling score by 0.5–1 point and intramuscular fat content by 1.2–1.8% in lamb/beef.

Optimize nitrogen metabolism:

Boost nitrogen retention by 10–15%, reducing ammonia emissions.

Typical Case:

Dorper × Small-tailed Han crossbred lambs supplemented with 900 mg/kg ChemGro reached a final weight 4.2 kg higher than the control group after 70 days, with FCR reduced by 0.21.

Other Animals

Aquaculture (Tilapia, research stage):

300–600 mg/kg ChemGro improves growth rate by 10–15% and muscle creatine content by 20–30%.

Pets (Dogs & Cats):

200–400 mg/kg ChemGro in dry food stabilizes creatine levels; granular ChemGrohas <10% loss after 15 months of storage (vs. 63% loss for creatine monohydrate).

Dosage (by Animal Type)

Animal Type	Recommended Dosage Range	Optimal Dosage	Special Notes
Broilers/Layers	600–1200 mg/kg feed	900 mg/kg feed	Doses >1200 mg/kg may increase liver ALT; reduce to 600 mg/kg in late broiler stages.
Swine (Weaners-Finishers)	600–1200 mg/kg feed	800–1000 mg/kg feed	Sows: 1 g/kg feed (late gestation to weaning).
Ruminants (Cattle/Sheep)	600–1200 mg/kg feed	900 mg/kg feed	Pair with methyl donors (e.g., 1–2 kg/ton betaine) to enhance creatine conversion.
Aquaculture (Tilapia)	300–600 mg/kg feed	400 mg/kg feed	Not yet commercialized; verify water quality impacts.
Pets (Dogs/Cats)	200–400 mg/kg dry food	300 mg/kg dry food	Granular GAA is more stable than crystalline forms.

Key Tip:

ChemGro requires methyl donors (e.g., methionine, betaine) to convert to creatine. Adding 1–2 kg/ton betaine to feed can improve ChemGro efficacy by 30–50%.

Storage

Temperature:

Store at <25°C in a cool, dark place; avoid temperatures >40°C (accelerates decomposition).

Humidity:

Maintain relative humidity (RH) <60%; use moisture-proof packaging (e.g., aluminum foil bags with PE liners). Seal immediately after opening and use within 1 month.

Special Formulations

Store separately from vitamins/minerals to prevent oxidation reactions.

Clinical Data & Research Evidence

Growth Performance Enhancement

Animal	ChemGro Dosage	Key Results (vs. Control Group)
Broilers	900 mg/kg	42-day body weight: +230 g; FCR: -0.18.
