Abstract

Tavşanlar kısa gebelik süresine sahip olmaları ve bir batında çok sayıda yavru dünyaya getirmeleri ve ayrıca yavru bakımı sürelerinin yedi gün gibi kısa bir süre olması nediniyle laboratuvar hayvanı olarak kullanımları önem taşımaktadır. Ayrıca tavşanlar ekonomik, ekolojik ve halk sağlığı açısından da önem arz etmektedir. Tavşanlar çok çeşitli patolojik bozukluklara karşı hassas olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle farklı risk faktörleri, ölüm ya da hastalık nedenleri ve yaygınlık oranları hakkındaki bilgiler; sağlık, ekonomi ve refah açısından öneme sahiptir. Tavşanlarda bu patolojik bozukluklardan bir tanesi de vitamin eksikliklerinden (hipovitaminozis) kaynaklanan durumlardır. Tavşanlar bakım, besleme ve barınma koşullarına göre çeşitli vitamin eksikliklerinden muzdarip olabilirler. Kalabalık barınaklarda yaşama, yetersiz ve kalitesiz besleme, güneş ışığından yoksun ortamda barınma gibi koşullar ya da sindirim sistemi problemleri kaynaklı bazı hipovitaminoz durumlarına yol açabilir. Tavşanlarda vitamin eksiklikleri verim ve üreme performansında düşüklük, abortus, zayıf yavru doğumu, konjenital hidrosefali, anemi, oküler bozukluklar, osteolojik hastalıklar ve kaslarda distrofi gibi birçok farklı probleme yol açabilir. Bu derlemede tavşanların diyetle alması gereken vitamin miktarları ve eksikliklerinde görülebilecek patolojik durum ve hastalıkların bir araya getirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Vitamin Deficiencies in Rabbits

Abstract

The use of rabbits as laboratory animals is important because they have a short gestation period and give birth to a large number of offspring in one litter, as well as a short period of care for offspring, such as seven days. Rabbits are also important in terms of economic, ecological and public health. Many factors can cause pathological disorders in rabbits. Therefore, information on different risk factors, causes of death or morbidity, and prevalence rates; It is important for health, economy and welfare. One of the conditions that cause these pathological disorders in rabbits is due to vitamin deficiencies (hypovitaminosis). Rabbits may suffer from various vitamin deficiencies depending on their care, feeding and housing conditions. Conditions such as living in crowded shelters, inadequate and poor-quality nutrition, sheltering in an environment devoid of sunlight, or digestive system problems can lead to hypovitaminosis states. Vitamin deficiencies in rabbits can lead to many different problems such as poor yield and reproductive performance, abortion, weak offspring, congenital hydrocephalus, anemia, ocular disorders, osteological diseases and muscular dystrophy. In this review, it is aimed to bring together the pathological conditions and diseases that can be seen in the vitamin amounts and deficiencies that rabbits should take with the diet.
