Özet:

 This study aimed to determine the effects of DL-malic acid supplementation in beef cattle rations containing high concentrated feed and dry forage alfalfa hay and wheat straw on fattening performance, carcass traits and ru- men parameters. In present study, 47 male beef cattle 19 Simmental, 28 Limousine at the age of 14-16 months were used. Cattle breeds were divided into two groups 0 and 30 gday of DL-malic acid. In the present study, the differ- ences in live weights, daily live weight gains and carcass weights of the control and DL-malic acid groups were found to be significant in Simmental breed P0.05, but insignificant in Limousine breed. The beef cattle body measurements withers height, chest girth, rump height, body length did not change with malic acid supplementation P0.05.The malic acid addition increased the molarities of acetic, butyric, propionic and total volatile fatty acids TVFA and acetic acid propionic acid ratio in the rumen fluid P0.05.The addition of malic acid had no significant effect on the number of ciliated protozoa Entodinium, Diplodinium, Isotricha and Dasytricha and total bacteria count in the rumen fluid P0.05. As a result, DL-malic acid supplementation to beef cattle ration varied with cattle breeds in terms of fattening performance, while such supplementations had positive effect on fattening in Simmental breed. Besides, the increase in TVFA and acetic, propionic and butyric acids, which are indicators of fiber and carbohydrate fermentation efficiency in the rumen, shows that malic acid has a positive effect on feed digestion in the rumen.

 Bu çalışmada, yüksek konsantre yem ve kuru kaba yem yonca otu ve buğday samanı içeren besi sığırı rasyonla- rına DL-malik asit ilavesinin besi performansı, karkas özellikleri ve rumen parametreleri üzerine etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada 14-16 aylık yaştaki 47 erkek besi sığırı 19 Simental, 28 Limousine kullanıldı. Sığır ırkları iki gruba ayrıldı 0 ve 30 ggün DL-malik asit. Kontrol ve DL-malik asit gruplarının canlı ağırlıkları, günlük canlı ağırlık artışları ve karkas ağırlıkları arasındaki farklılık Simmental ırkında önemli P0.05, Limousine ırkında ise önemsiz bulundu. Besi sığırlarının vücut ölçüleri cidago yüksekliği, göğüs çevresi, sağrı yüksekliği, vücut uzunluğu malik asit takviyesi ile değişmedi P0.05. Malik asit ilavesi rumen sıvısındaki asetik, bütirik, propiyonik ve toplam uçucu yağ asitlerinin TVFA molaritelerini ve asetik asitpropiyonik asit oranını arttırdı P0.05. Malik asit ilavesinin rumen sıvı- sındaki silliatalı protozoa Entodinium, Diplodinium, Isotricha ve Dasytricha sayısı ve toplam bakteri sayısı üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olmadı P0.05. Sonuç olarak, besi sığırı rasyonlarına DL-malik asit takviyesinin besi performansı açısından sığır ırklarına göre farklılık gösterdiği ve Simental ırkında besiye olumlu etkisinin olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca rumende lif ve karbonhidrat fermentasyon etkinliğinin göstergesi olan TVFA ile asetik, propiyonik ve bütirik asitlerdeki artış dikkate alındığında, malik asidin rumende yem sindirimine etkisinin olumlu olduğu söylenebilir.
