Relative Weight of Broiler Digestive Tract by Addition of Turmeric Water in Drinking Water

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of turmeric water in drinking water to relative weight of the digestive tract of broiler chickens. Two hundreds day old chicks with an average body weight of 41,48 ± 0,99 gram were randomly assigned into 5 treatments and 5 replication, each replicate consisted of 8 birds. The treatments consisted of T0 (100% drinking water), T1 (75% drinking water: 25% turmeric water), T2 (50% turmeric water: 50% drinking water), T3 (75% turmeric water: 25% drinking water) and T4 (100% turmeric water). Feed and water were given in free access. The relative weight and relative length of digestive tract were determined at 35 days. The results showed that addition of turmeric water in drinking water had no significant effect (P>0,05) on broiler life weight, relative weight of crop, proventiculus, small intestine, liver, colon, and relative length of jejunum, and colon. However there was significant (P
