Use of β-carotene in animal nutrition and Its effects

β-karoten sebze ve meyvelerde bulunan karotenoid grubu içinde belki de en iyi bilinenidir. Karma yemdeki β-karoten, vitamin A’nın ön maddesidir. β-karoten katkısı gerek düvelerin gerekse de ineklerin verim performansında bir iyileşme sağlamaktadır. β-karoten, aynı zamanda antioksidan olarak da görev yapmaktadır. β-karoten, oksidatif strese karşı koruyucu etki yapmakta, bağışıklık sistemini de uyarmaktadır. Yemdeki β-karoten yetersizliğinde direkt veya indirek olarak ovaryum fonksiyonları ve uterus ortamı değişerek östrus, gebe kalma ve gebelik gibi reprodüktif parametreler olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. Bu makalede, hayvan beslemede kullanılan β-karoten ile β-karoten konusunda çeşitli hayvanlar üzerinde yapılan besleme çalışmaları ele alınmıştır.

Hayvan beslemede β-karoten kullanılması ve etkileri

Beta-carotene is probably the best known of the group of carotenoids occurring in fruits and vegetables. Dietary β-carotene is recognized as the major precursor of vitamin A. It has been improved reproductive performance in both dairy heifers and lactating cows provided supplemental β-carotene. β-carotene protects against oxidative stress and stimulates immune system. Dietary deficiencies of β-carotene will decrease reproductive efficiency by directly or indirectly impairing ovarian function and the uterine environment, there by influencing oestrus, conception and pregnancy. In this paper, feeding studies made on the β-carotene used in nutrition of various animal species have been reviewed.
