Abstract

Magnesium has important roles in cellular metabolism and bone development as a cofactor, and
involved in more than 300 reactions in the body. So, it is an essential cation for many animal species ratio. Recent
studies carried out last years showed enhanced hepatic catalase activity after magnesium supplementation to diet.
This enhancement decreases lipid and muscle tissue peroxidation and subsequently may improve meat quality.
However, high levels of magnesium in poultry diets negatively affects bone calcifcation and increases excrete
moisture. Balanced level of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in the diet is essential for normal growth and
performance. In this review, the functions of magnesium in poultry nutrition, magnesium requirements, digestion
and availability of magnesium in poultry, and effects of magnesium on performance were discussed

Kanatlı Beslemede Magnezyumun Fonksiyonları ve Metabolizması

Abstract

Magnezyum, hücre metabolizması ve kemik gelişiminde önemli rollere sahip olup vücutta 300 den fazla
reaksiyonda görev almaktadır. Bu yüzden bir çok hayvan türü için esansiyel bir katyondur. Son yıllarda yapılan bazı
araştırmalar, kanatlı rasyonlarına ilave edilen magnezyumun hepatik katalaz aktivitesini arttırmak süretiyle kas ve
kan dokularındaki peroksidasyonu azalttığını ve bu sayede et kalitesinin arttırılmasına olanak sağlayabileceğini
ortaya koymuşlardır. Bununla birlikte, rasyona ilave edilen yüksek düzeydeki magnezyum kemik formasyonunu
olumsuz etkilediği gibi dışkı nem düzeyini de arttırabilmektedir. Kanatlılarda normal bir büyüme ve performans
için rasyonların magnezyum, kalsiyum ve fosfor bakımından dengelenmesi son derece önemlidir. Bu derlemede,
kanatlı beslemede magnezyumun fonksiyonları, kanatlıların magnezyum ihtiyaçları, magnezyum kaynakları,
sindirilebilirliği, kullanılabilirliği ve kanatlıların performansına etkileri tartışılmıştır
