Dietary Treatments

This experiment was designed to determine the meat quality and lipid profile of broiler chickens fed diets containing turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder (Tur) and cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens) powder (Cay) as antioxidants. Two hundred and forty three (two-week old) Abor Acre broiler chicks were randomly allotted to nine treatment groups of 27 birds each, consisting of three replicates of nine birds each in a completely randomised design. Three levels of Tur (0, 2 and 4 g/kg) and three levels of Cay (0, 1 and 2 g/kg) were used to provide nine dietary treatments.  Meat quality indices such as cook and refrigerated losses, water absorptive power, etc were measured and determined at the 8th week. Broiler Chickens fed the basal diet had highest meat dry matter, protein content and least (p<0.05) meat pH, cook and refrigeration loss values. Meat triglyceride and meat malondialdehyde value was best (p<0.05) in treatments fed dietary 2 g/kg Cay, while chickens fed 2 g/kg Cay, 2 g/kg Tur + 1 g/kg Cay and 2 g/kg Tur + 2 g/kg Cay had better meat lipoprotein values. For meat sensory characteristic, meat flavour of broiler chickens fed diets containing 2 and 4 g/kg dietary Tur, were  moderately liked while overall flavour was best (p<0.05) in groups fed the basal diet with no dietary additive. It was evident in the study that the dietary inclusions of the test ingredients limited lipid oxidation, thus improved storage duration and meat flavor.

Turmeric Extract

The purpose of this study was evaluation of ethanolic turmeric extract (ETE; Curcuma longa) effect on overall performance including body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) weekly and cumulative for a period of 4 weeks with 300 commercial broiler chicks (Ross strain). These chicks were randomly divided into four groups with three replicates of 15 chicks in each replicate. In group A, chickens were fed a basal diet, in group B, chickens were fed a basal diet plus 3 ppm productive aflatoxin. In group C, chickens consumed a basal diet plus 0.05% ETE and in group D, chickens received a basal diet with 0.05% ETE plus 3 ppm productive aflatoxin. Aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus (PTTC NO:1850) in maize was according to the Shotwell method. The results revealed that there were no significant differences in BW, BWG and FCR between groups fed turmeric at 0.05% and the control group. The supplement of ETE in a diet containing 3 ppm aflatoxin can significantly improve performance indices compared with the group that consumed aflatoxin alone. In conclusion, our results suggest that turmeric extract ( Curcuma longa) can provide protection against the negative effects of aflatoxin on performance of broiler chickens.

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of turmeric (Curcuma longa) on haematological parameters, ntioxidant status and carcass analysis of broiler chicken. A total of 108-day old broiler chicks were divided into three treatment groups in completely randomised design. The birds were assigned at the rate of 36 birds per treatment in 4 replicates of 9 chicks per replicate. Tumeric powder was supplemented to the feed at the rate of 0%, 0.5% and 1.0% throughout the experiment (8week). All data generated were subjected to one-way analysis of variance. Results showed that haematological parameters like PCV, RBC, Hb and monocyte increased as the level of turmeric supplementation increases. The antioxidant enzymes glutathione-peroxidise (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant activity (TAA) positively increased with increase in the turmeric supplementation. Increasing level of turmeric supplementation significantly (P<0.05) decreased live weights, dressed weights and eviscerated weights of broiler chicken. Some of relative internal organ weights were affected by turmeric supplementation except heart, kidney, lung and pancreas. It was concluded that the turmeric can be added to the diets of broilers chicken up to the level 1.0% and protect cell from excess production of reactive oxygen species also it has the potential to improve immune response in broiler chicken.
