Abstract

The experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of turmeric powder (Curcuma longa) on selected rumen and blood constituents. Ten Egyptian native sheep, their ages ranged between 1.5-2.5 years, and body weights 30 - 45kg. They divided into two equal groups. The first group (control group) was fed on traditional ration only, the second (experimental group) was given turmeric powder (500mg /kg body weight orally) in the morning before feeding for 5 days. In the first day rumen juice and blood samples were collected from both groups before feeding (considered 0 hour) and at 2nd, 4th ,6th and 8th hours of supplementation with turmeric. In treated group rumen and blood sample were taken daily before feeding from fist day up to fifth day of experiment. Results generally showed that turmeric made significant changes in fermentation pattern in rumen among hours of sampling, while by days It caused marked increased in rumen and serum calcium and rumen inorganic phosphorus; with decreases in serum albumin. On other hand stabilized the rumen pH near to 7, and maintained rumen protozoal activity, TCP, VFAs, ammonia N2, total protein, globulin, BUN, serum creatinine and GGT within the normal range. regarding to fermentation pattern on hours, changes occurred in both rumen and blood serum constituents give a recommendation for using turmeric supplementation as 500mg /kg body weight orally for 3-5 days in treatment of indigestion and maintenance of normal rumen function. Further investigation should be applied on diseased cases to confirm the effect of turmeric as therapeutic agent in such cases.
