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.
本文研究了在生长的安达曼本地猪中添加姜黄根茎粉（TRP）（姜黄）的多能效应。总共 48 头猪被随机分为四组，并喂食含有 TRP 的四种浓度的饮食，即 0（对照组）、0.05（处理 1）、0.1（处理 2）和 0.2%（处理 3），持续 30 天。补充 0.1%和 0.2%TRP 的猪的平均体重明显高于对照组（41.66±0.44、42.59±0.33 与 40.38±0.30kg；p≤0.05），表明 TRP 具有促进生长的作用。与对照组相比，补充组的血清天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶（AST）、丙氨酸氨基转移酶（ALT）和碱性磷酸酶（ALP）浓度显著降低（p≤0.05）。与对照组相比，所有治疗组的肌酸激酶（U/l）均降低。与对照组相比，补充 0.1%和 0.2%TRP 后，总胆固醇、甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇显著降低。然而，所有 TRP 补充组的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（mg/dl）均显著高于对照组（T1 为 27.67±0.60，T2 为 32.76±0.32，T3 为 34.58±0.37，对照组为 23.73±0.69；p≤0.05）。此外，TRP 补充后抗氧化谱增加。TRP 的抗炎潜力也可以得到赞赏，因为 TRP 补充剂下调了（p≤0.05）IL-6、IL-1β 和 IFN-γ 的表达。因此，我们认为这种综合方法是一种独特的方法，可以关注猪的健康状况的改变，以提高生产力和增强免疫反应。
