This paper examined the pluripotent effect of supplementation of turmeric rhizome powder (TRP) (Curcuma longa) in
growing Andaman local pigs. A total of 48 pigs were randomly allotted into four groups and fed diets containing TRP at 4
concentrations, that is, 0 (control group), 0.05 (treatment 1), 0.1 (treatment 2), and 0.2% (treatment 3) for 30 days. The mean
body weight of pigs supplemented with 0.1% and 0.2% TRP was significantly higher than that of the control group (41.66 ±
0.44, 42.59 ± 0.33 vs 40.38 ± 0.30 kg; p ≤ 0.05) which indicated the effect of TRP as growth enhancer. A significant (p ≤
0.05) decrease in serum concentration of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline
phosphatase (ALP) was recorded in supplemented groups as compared to the control group. Creatinine kinase (U/l) decreased
in all the treatment groups as compared to the control group. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol decreased significantly after supplementation with 0.1% and 0.2% TRP in comparison to the control group.
However, there was marked increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mg/dl) in all TRP-supplemented groups than
the control group (27.67 ± 0.60 in T1, 32.76 ± 0.32 in T2, and 34.58 ± 0.37 in T3 vs. 23.73 ± 0.69 in control; p ≤ 0.05).
Further, there was increase in antioxidant profile after TRP supplementation. Anti-inflammatory potentiality of TRP could
also be appreciated since TRP supplementation downregulated (p ≤ 0.05) expression of IL-6, IL-1β, and IFN-γ. Therefore,
we perceive that this conflated approach is an example of its own kind to focus on modification of health status of pigs for
more productivity and augmentation of immune response.
