Finding environmentally friendly, effective and residue-free alternatives to antibiotics has become a research priority. This is due to the ban on antibiotics in animal feed. Curcumin is a polyphenol extracted from the rhizome of turmeric that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Curcumin has been widely demonstrated as a traditional flavoured agent and herbal medicine in the fight against diseases. In recent years, curcumin has been extensively studied in animal production, especially in poultry production. This article reviews the source, structure, metabolism and biological functions of curcumin and focuses on the application of curcumin in poultry production. In terms of production performance, curcumin can improve the growth performance of poultry, increase the egg production rate of laying hens and alleviate the negative effects of heat stress on the production performance of poultry and livestock. In terms of meat quality, curcumin can improve poultry meat quality by regulating lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity. In terms of health, curcumin can improve immunity. Since mycotoxins have been a major problem in poultry production, this article also reviews the role of curcumin in helping poultry resist toxins. It is hoped that the review in this article can provide a concrete theoretical basis and research ideas for the research and application of curcumin in the field of poultry.
寻找环保、有效且无残留的抗生素替代品已成为研究重点。这是由于抗生素在动物饲料中的禁用。姜黄素是从姜黄根茎中提取的多酚，具有抗氧化、抗炎和免疫调节特性。姜黄素已被广泛证明是一种传统的调味剂和草药，可用于对抗疾病。近年来，姜黄素在动物生产中，特别是家禽生产中得到了广泛研究。本文综述了姜黄素的来源、结构、代谢和生物学功能，并重点介绍了姜黄素在家禽生产中的应用。在生产性能方面，姜黄素可以提高家禽的生长性能，提高蛋鸡的产蛋率，并减轻热应激对家禽和家畜生产性能的负面影响。在肉质方面，姜黄素可以通过调节脂质代谢和抗氧化能力来改善家禽肉品质。在健康方面，姜黄素可以提高免疫力。由于霉菌毒素一直是家禽生产中的一个主要问题，本文还综述了姜黄素在帮助家禽抵抗毒素方面的作用。希望本文的综述能为姜黄素在家禽领域的研究和应用提供具体的理论基础和研究思路。
