description abstractIn order to study the effect of turmeric rhizome powder (TRP) on performance and carcass

characteristics of broiler chickens, an in vivo experiment was conducted. A corn- soybean meal based diet

containing levels of TRP (0.00, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75%) was used. In a completely randomized design with four

treatments of five replicates each, and 10 chickens per replicate, 200, Ross male broiler chickens from 0-49

days were studied. For performance, feed intake and body weight gain recorded weekly. For carcass

characteristics, at the end of experiment at 49 days of age, one chicken from each replicate of treatments

were weighed, slaughtered and the relative weight of liver, pancreas, spleen, heart and abdominal fat pad

measured. By Roche colour fan, skin colour was also measured. In all weeks the amounts of feed intake,

weight gain and feed to gain ratio in broilers fed treatments were not significantly different. Addition of TRP

into the diets significantly (P<0.05) decreased relative abdominal fat pad and heart weights to live body

weight. Under the conditions of this experiment, it was concluded that TRP may improve carcass quality and

leaner meat would be predictable. Use of TRP as a reducing heart weight factor, may show some improve

in circulatory and respiratory systems that needs to be clarified.
