Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of curcumin on growth performance, serum biochemical indexes and antioxidant capacity of Xianghuang broilers. A total of 160 one-day-old Xianghuang broilers were randomly divided into 2 groups (control group and curcumin group) with 8 replicates of 10 birds each. Chicks from the control group were fed a corn-soybean meal type basal diet, and birds from the curcumin group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg curcumin. The experiment lasted for 5 weeks. The results showed as follows:compared with the control group, the average daily gain and average daily feed intake during the 3rd week, the 4th week and whole period were significantly increased in the curcumin group (P<0.05), and the proportion of breast muscle in body weight tended to increase in the curcumin group (P=0.064). The content of serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the curcumin group was significantly decreased compared with the control group (P<0.05). The activities of liver copper and zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) and breast muscle glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in curcumin group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, curcumin can improve the breast muscle growth of Xianghuang broilers through elevating antioxidant capacity of breast muscle, and then increases the average daily gain.
