Effects of Guanidinoacetic Acid on Ruminal Fermentation and Greenhouse Gas Production Using Fresh Forage and Silage from Different Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Genotypes

Effects of Guanidinoacetic Acid on Ruminal Fermentation and Greenhouse Gas Production Using Fresh Forage and Silage from Different Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Genotypes

Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is a feed additive that promotes growth in animals, while maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) is used for the mitigation of ruminal greenhouse gases. However, it is unknown if GAA affects the efficiency of maize in mitigating gases or if there is synergy between them. T...
