The gradual increment of the human
population resulted in an increased demand for
animal protein in developing countries. To
satisfy the need for animal protein, synthetic
antibiotics were incorporated into broiler
chickens’ diets to stimulate growth and rapidly
increase production performance. This is a
significant problem since the resistance of
antimicrobial can be derived from antibiotics’
abusive usage. The antibiotic immunity is of

CONCLUSION 2.0
Coleen Pagao:
The use of turmeric powder as feed additives
and supplements have been recommended as
an alternative to antibiotics for broiler chicken
production. The incorporation of Phytogenic
feed additives as an alternative to synthetic
antibiotics is gaining popularity in recent
years. It is usually incorporated into farm
animals’ diets to enhance flavor and
palatability, resulting in improved production
performance. Turmeric is one of the many
medicinal herbs promising in agricultural
products as feed additives in broiler diets. It
contains a high level of beneficial phenolic
compounds and terpenoids, and the main
curcuminoids of the rhizome are curcumin,
demethoxycurcumin, and
bisdemethoxycurcumin. Turmeric powder has
been recommended as an alternative to
synthetic antibiotics without adverse effects on
broiler chickens’ growth performance, health,
and economic traits. Also, turmeric powder as
a feed supplement into broiler diets improves
the chicken meat crude protein content and
reduces triglycerides and saturated fatty acids.
Moreover, the bioactive compounds in
turmeric showed a broad spectrum of
biological activities, including antibacterial,
antiviral, anticoccidal, antiprotozoal, digestion
absorption-enhancing effects, protection
against toxins, and coccidiosis. The various
effects of turmeric in broiler chickens might be
due to the different levels of Cucurmin
incorporated into the diet. Thus,
standardization of turmeric powder based on
Cucurmin level is recommended for
commercialization.
Thank you that is all, and now we are open for
