Turmeric Immune System Booster Feed AdditiveBy: Peter J. Brown, First State Veterinary Supply, Inc.
Recent research conducted on Poultry has proven the merits of using the Herb Turmeric in your Poultry ration on a daily basis.
There are many published research papers that have shown the benefits of consuming Turmeric in human diets and its ability to help prevent or cure certain human ailments. (See under our PERSONAL HEALTH Section)
The use of Turmeric in Poultry Diets has shown that this Herb is capable of enhancing the birds Immune System and will therefore help the Immune System fight off diseases. Birds consuming Turmeric in their diet gained more weight on less feed than did the control birds. This increase in body weight is due to the antioxidant activity of Turmeric that stimulates protein synthesis in the Enzymatic System of the birds.
Liver, Spleen, Bursa, and Thymus weights were greater in those birds receiving the Turmeric in their diet. This is because of the immunostimulatory properties of Turmeric.
Those who have been interested in Natural Herbal products to give to their birds, now have a proven product that will enhance the Immune System, and help with feed conversion. Turmeric Immune System Booster Feed Additive is now available from First State Vet Supply at,
