Abstract

Background/Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of the prebiotics β-glucan, inulin , on performance parameters of turkey chicks. Material and Methods: A total of 48 male turkeys Hybrid Converter were used as animal material. Diet for 3 treatment groups was designed to contain β-glucan 0.014% , inulin 0.70% and inulin + β-glucan 0.70% + 0.014% respectively. In the group consumed β-glucan, feed conversion ratio FCR values were highest value. Blood serum glucose level was the highest in the 3rd group consumed inulin + β-glucan. This difference was considered as synergic effect of these two additives on the serum glucose level. Results and conclusion: Although there is a synergic effect, these materials can be recommended as an alternative additives against diseases in terms of preventive medicine

Abstract

Özbilgi/Amaç: Bu çalışmada prebiyotiklerin β-glukan ve inulin performans üzerine olan etkilerinin gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Hayvan materyali olarak toplam 48 adet erkek Hybrid Converter hindi kullanılmıştır. Deneme gurubu diyetleri sırasıyla β-glukan 0.014% , inulin 0.70% ve inulin + β-glukan 0.70% + 0.014% içerek şekilde dizayn edilmiş olup kontrol grubu diyetlerine her hangi bir katkı yapılmamıştır. Sadece β-glukan tüketen grupta yemden yararlanma oranının YYO en yüksek değerde olduğu görülmüştür. İnulin ve β-glukan tüketen 3. grupta kan serum glukoz seviyesi en yüksek değerde bulunmuş olup bu sonucun inulin ve β-glukanın sinerjik etkisine bağlı olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Sonuç: Sinerjik etkilerinin olmasının yanında bu iki katkı maddesinin koruyucu hekimlik anlamında alternatif katkı olarak kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır
