Abstract

Yoğun üretim uygulamaları, hatalı bakım ve besleme, uygun olmayan barındırma koşulları, yemlerde antibesinsel maddelerin bulunması ve buna benzer anormallikler kanatlı hayvanlarının hem hormon hem de enzim sistemlerinde düzensizliklere yol açmaktadır. Özellikle endokrin sistem ile ilgili anormallikler yüzünden spesifik bir hormon olan melatonin üretilemediğinden ya da yetersiz üretildiğinden organizmada metabolik ve fizyolojik fonksiyonlar olumsuz etkilenmektedir.

Melatonin (ML), kanatlı hayvanlarda metabolik ve fizyolojik düzensizlikleri önleyen ancak dikkat çekmeyen önemli hormonlardan birisidir. ML, beynin biyolojik saatini ayarlar, solunum, dolaşım, boşaltım, üreme ve bağışıklık sistemi üzerinde etkili olur. ML, yem tüketimini, enerji metabolizmasını, vücut ısısını düzenler ve vücutta serbest radikallerin yok edilmesine yardım eder. ML, büyüme hormonu salgılanımını uyararak büyüme performansını olumlu etkiler.

Kanatlı hayvanlarda metabolik-fizyolojik bozuklukların düzeltilmesini sağlayan ve hayvan refahına olumlu katkıda bulunan ML hormonu üzerine daha etkili şekilde odaklanmanın gerekli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede, melatonin’in tanıtımı, diğer hormonlarla interaktif ilişkileri, kanatlı hayvanlarının fizyolojik ve metabolik fonksiyonları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir.

Abstract

Intensive
production practices, faulty maintenance and feeding, unsuitable keeping
conditions, antinutritional factors in feeds and similar abnormalities lead to
irregularities in both hormone and enzyme systems in poultry. Especially, due
to disorders in endocrine system, a specific hormone, melatonin, can not be
produced or underproduced, and thus its metabolic and physiological functions
are negatively affected in the organisms.

Melatonin
(ML) is one of the important hormones that prevent metabolic and physiological
disorders in poultry but does not attract attention by poultry scientist. ML
regulates the brain's biological clock, acts on respiration, circulation,
excretion, reproduction and immunity system. ML helps regulate feed
consumption, energy metabolism and body heat. It also provides elimination of
free radicals in the body. ML stimulates growth hormone secretion and, thus,
effects growth performance of poultry positively.





It is considered necesary to focus more effectively on the melatonin
hormone, which is a positive contribution to animal welfare by correcting
metabolic-physiological disorders in poultry. In this review, the definition of
melatonin, its interaction with other hormones, its effect on the physiological
and metabolic functions of poultry were examined.
