动物硅营养研究进展

Research Progress of Silicon Nutrition in Animals

硅(Si)是一种常见的化学元素,在地壳中含量丰富,对多种生物具有重要作用,但是关于其对动物的生物学作用报道较少,其作用机制还不是十分明确。本文将从硅的生物来源、对动物生理功能的影响、动物对硅的吸收、硅在动物体内的分布和转运等方面综述动物硅营养的研究进展,为硅在动物生产中的应用提供依据。

Silicon is a common chemical element that is abundant in the earth’s crust and plays an important role in a variety of organisms.But its biological effects on animals are rarely reported,and its mechanism is not very clear.This article reviews the biological sources of silicon,its probiotic effects on animals’ physiological functions,the absorption of silicon by animals,the distribution and transportation of silicon in animals,which provides a basis for the application of silicon in animal production.
