| Özet |
| White muscle disease (WMD) is a widespread problem, but appears often most in those countries with well-developed livestock agriculture (Hulland, 1985; Bostedt & Schramel, 1990; McDowell, 1992). The disease occurs on soils as varied as volcanic, deep sedimentary, calcareous and basalitic. Those soils that produce pasture grasses and legumes low in selenium (Se) content are obviously capable of predisposing grazing-susceptible species to the disease (Hulland, 1985; McDowell, 1992). Selenium is undoubtedly an essential trace element for nutrition (Ammerman & Miller, 1975; McDowell, 1992) and its deficiency is a key factor for the development of nutritional myopathies in many species. Selenium is also an integral component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px, EC 1.11. 1.9)(McDowell, 1992; Macpherson, 1994; Andres et al., 1997). It is thought that GSH-Px neutralizes the effects of hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides, which cause cell protein destruction and necrosis (McDowell, 1992; Macpherson, 1994). Likewise, vitamin E deficiency is an important contributory factor in the development of WMD (McDowell, 1989; Bostedt & Schramel, 1990; Macpherson, 1994). Vitamin E is known to reduce the Se requirement by maintaining body Se in an active form and by preventing the destruction of membrane lipids, thereby inhibiting the production of hydroperoxides, and reducing the amount of GSH-Px needed to destroy peroxides formed in the cell (McDowell, 1989).A literature review yielded no information about WMD and Se content of soil and meadow hay in the region of Kars and its surrounds, which are major sheep … |
