Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the nutraceuticals turmeric (Tur) or curcumin (Cur) affected the biochemical parameters, productivity, and quality of eggs in layers. In these study 168 hens, from 32 to 44 weeks, were housed individually in single cages and distributed randomly into seven distinct groups consisting of three replicates, with eight birds in each group. The first group received the basal diet and served as the control group. The second, third, and fourth groups were fed diets supplemented with 1, 2, and 3gm of Tur/kg diet, respectively, while the fifth, sixth, and seventh groups were provided diets augmented with 50,100, and 150 mg of Cur/kg diet, respectively. The study's findings indicate a notable rise in egg production by (21.09%) and (14.62%) when fed diets supplemented with 3g/kg Tur and 150 mg Cur /kg, respectively, compared to the control group. The inclusion of turmeric and curcumin in the diet also led to a significant improvement in the feed conversion ratio. Additionally, both supplements positively impacted the yolk color score, with statistical significance (P ≤ 0.05). Results showed that treated groups with Tur and Cur exhibited a significant (P ≤ 0.05) increase in total protein, albumin, and globulin, calcium, and phosphorus levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, supplementation with Tur or Cur exhibited a statistically significant (P≤0.05) enhancement in lipid profile, antioxidant status, immunity, and hormone levels compared to the control group. These results suggest that incorporating Tur (3g/kg) or Cur (150 mg/kg) as dietary nutraceuticals in laying hen feed could effectively enhance productive performance, egg quality, and biochemical parameters.
