Effects of Turmeric Powder (Curcuma Longa) in BroilerNutrition: Coccidiosis and Antioxidative Status by Nikola Puvača in CDVS in Lupine Publishers.
Usage of antibiotics concerning animal nutrition and as
antimicrobial growth promoters is undoubtedly beneficial for
the improvement of zootechnical performance parameters and
prevention of disease. Nevertheless, because of the bio-security
threats for human and animal health which come from escalating
resistance of pathogens to antibiotics and the accumulation of
antibiotic residues in animal products and the environment, there
is a global need to remove antimicrobial growth promoters from
animal diets. The intensive broiler production sector of the poultry
industry is keen to optimise performance and minimise economic
losses as a result of antimicrobial growth promoter removal,
as well as ensuring the safety of broiler meat via the control or
elimination of foodborne pathogens. The beneficial potential of
various microbes and bioactive compounds have been highlighted
in enhancing animal performance and health [1]. Compared
with synthetic antibiotics or inorganic chemicals, plant-derived
products have proven to be less toxic, residue free and are thought
to be ideal feed additives in food animal production [2]. Advances
in chemistry and identification of plant compounds which are
effective in the treatment of certain diseases have renewed interest
in herbal medicines. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous
herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae.
The tumeric extract is a yellow-orange poly-phenol and its usual
form is a dry yellow powder that is oil-soluble in its natural state.
The active ingredients are tetrahydrocurcuminoids, curcumin,
demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycutcumin [3]. Curcumin
(diferuloyl methane) the natural yellow pigment in the roots of
turmeric, is a poly-phenolic compound that is isolated from the
rhizomes of tumeric. It represents about 4% of the dry weight of the
extract. Curcumin, which gives yellow colour to turmeric rhizomes,
is one of the most active ingredients, responsible for the biological
activity.To know more click on below link.
