Background/Aim: Growth, development, and maintain of the physiological tasks have the most important role in nutrition. Therefore, nutrition is necessary for maintain of life for both human and animals. The recent studies focused on natural products that ensure the quality of fodder in animal husbandry, get the more healthy animals and improve the quality and quantity of animal products. The studies about these products has gained importance whether or not side effect on human health. Also, using these products are important for the strengthening of the immune system. Probiotics, prebiotics and herbs and plant extracts can be regarded in these natural products. The freshwater algae, Spirulina platensis, is an important source of protein which became the focus of todays due to its proteins, vitamins and minerals content. This review includes S. platensis effects on growth performances and immune effects on animals and research results in the recent years.Material and Method: S.platensis was discovered as a food source by mankind for centuries ago and grown in many parts of the world. The positive effects of health and treatment for various diseases of S.platensis has been proven by scientific circles. Results and Conclusion: The difference results were shown in researches related to S. platensis. These researchers reported that differences were due to S.platensis unknown effect on performance and immunity. So, it’s necessary to intensify the studies in this area.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Spirulina platensis’in Hayvanlarda Büyüme Performansı ve Bağışıklık Sistemi Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Özbilgi/Amaç: Beslenmenin organizmadaki en önemli rolü büyüme, gelişme ve fizyolojik görevlerin sürdürülmesidir. Bu nedenle beslenme, insan ya da hayvan olsun, yaşamın sürdürülmesi için gereklidir. Günümüzde, hayvan yetiştiriciliğinde yem kalitesini artırarak beslenmenin düzenlenmesini sağlamak, daha sağlıklı hayvanlar elde etmek ve elde edilen hayvansal ürünlerin miktar ve kalitesini iyileştirmek amacıyla, araştırmacılar doğal ürünler üzerindeki çalışmalara yoğunlaşmışlardır. Özellikle, yem katkı maddelerinin insan sağlığı üzerinde bir yan etkiye yol açıp açmadığı konusundaki çalışmalar önem kazanmıştır. Bu ürünlerin kullanımı insanlarda bağışıklık sisteminin kuvvetlenmesi açısından da önemlidir. Bu doğal ürünler arasında probiyotikler, prebiyotikler ile bitki ve bitki ekstraktlarını sayabiliriz. Bu doğal ürünlerden Spirulina platensis, yani tatlı su yosunu önemli bir protein kaynağıdır ve ayrıca vitaminler ve mineraller bakımından da zengindir. Bu özellikleriyle Spirulina platensis doğal bir besin olarak günümüzde ilgi odağı haline gelmiştir. Bu derlemede S. platensis’in hayvanlarda büyüme performansı ve bağışıklık üzerine etkilerine ve son yıllarda yapılan bazı araştırmaların sonuçlarına yer verilecektir.Mateyal ve Metot: S. platensis, bir gıda kaynağı olarak yüzyıllar önce insanoğlu tarafından keşfedilmiş ve dünyanın birçok yerinde yetiştirilen bir besin kaynağıdır. S. platensis’in sağlığa olumlu etkisi ve çeşitli hastalıkların tedavisinde destekçi olduğu bilimsel çevrelerce ispatlanmış durumdadır. Bulgular ve Sonuç: S. platensis ile ilgili yapılan araştırmalarda farklı sonuçlar elde edildiği de görülmektedir. Bu farklılığın S. platensis’in büyüme performansı ve bağışıklık sistemi üzerine bilinmeyen etkilerine bağlı olabileceği bildirilmektedir. Bu alandaki çalışmaların artırılması gerekmektedir.
