Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of turmeric powder (Curcuma domestica), a dietary supplement, on the function and relative weight of lymphoid organs, a marker of immunological status in super native chickens. 100 super native chickens in total were employed in the trial, which lasted 35 days and included 5 treatments and 4 replications with identical environmental conditions. The application of the treatments followed a totally random design. Water alone served as the negative control (P0), 0.1 gr/l of feed supplement served as the positive control (P1), 1 gr/l of turmeric flour served as treatment (P2), 3 gr/l of turmeric flour served as treatment (P3), and 5 gr/l of turmeric flour served as treatment (P4). Body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and relative weight of lymphoid organs were the variables that were measured in the experiment. All of the data gathered for this study were evaluated using Analysis of Variance, and Duncan’s test using SPSS version 25 was required if there were any significant differences. According to statistical research, adding turmeric flour to drinking water had no significant impact on feed consumption (P > 0.05) but had a substantial impact on the weight gain and feed conversion of super native chickens. On the relative weights of the spleen and bursa Fabricius, the therapy also had a statistically significant (P < 0.05) impact. The Fabricius bursa and spleen had the highest average relative weights of the lymphoid organs (Fabricius bursa and spleen) in the treatment given turmeric flour at a concentration of 3 gr/l of drinking water. In conclusion, as a natural feed additive, adding Turmeric Flour (Curcuma domestica) to drinking water helps super native fowl perform better and have lymphoid organs that are proportionately heavier.
