Evaluation of effect of curcuma longa supplementation on production parameters and organ weights in induced Aflatoxicosis in broiler birds

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the ameliorative effects of Curcuma longa rhizome powder (1%) in induced aflatoxicosis in broiler chicken. In this study, commercially available broiler chickens of Vencobb strain were reared from day one to forty two days in the deep litter system of management and the birds were divided into three groups. Normal feed tested free of aflatoxin (AF), was given to the control (Group1). Aflatoxin (1 ppm) was supplemented with the feed to Group 2 and Curcuma longa (1%) + AF was supplemented with the feed to Group 3.
