Abstract :Poultry require high amounts of energy for feather development, meat and egg production. Since it is not possible to fill the whole of this energy starch, it becomes necessary to use oil in animal rations. Due to the increase in prices, there has been a significant decrease in the amount of oil used in the rations. However, in recent years it has become widespread to use palm oil in poultry feeding, which is cheaper in price and easier to supply and supply than other oils. Nearly half of the oil consumed in the world is palm oil. There are nearly 2 million tons of vegetable oil consumption per year in Turkey. Nearly 200.000 tons of this consumption is used in the feed production and this amount is increasing day by day. Compared to other vegetable oils, the high content of saturated fatty acids in palm oil and palm oil fractionated oils makes it more important to use this oil for human or animal feeding. Inactivating free radicals due to carotenoids and protecting the cells from oxidative stresses and destructive protection, high-level tocopherols acting on liver enzymes to lower blood cholesterol, genetic regulation, production of sex steroids, immune response and role in lung development and blood pressure lowering makes the palm oil exceptional. Especially rich in vitamin E, palm oil provides a significant advantage in poultry nutrition. In this review, the use of palm oil in poultry nutrition and its interactive role were examined.Keywords : Palm yağı, Kanatlı hayvan, Besleme, Tokotrienol, Karotenoid, Kolesterol
