Abstract

Productivity and livestock health are significantly affected by nutritional strategies, especially natural feed additives with immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric (Curcuma domestica) is considered a sustainable, safe alternative to synthetic additives. The present study aimed to evaluate the haematological and serum biochemical parameters in local sheep following the inclusion of turmeric powder in their diet. The experiment involved 12 male local thin-tailed sheep (Ovis aries), approximately 1 year old, with an average body weight of 24 kilograms. The present study was carried out at a private farm in Pringsewu, Lampung, Indonesia, using a completely randomized design with three dietary treatments, including a basal diet without turmeric supplementation (P0), a basal diet supplemented with 2.5 dry matter (DM) of turmeric powder (P1), and a basal diet supplemented with 5 DM of turmeric powder (P2). Hemoglobin, packed cell volume (PCV), total plasma protein (TPP), blood glucose, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were assessed. Dietary supplementation with turmeric powder in Group P2 modulated haematological parameters, as indicated by increased hemoglobin (14.30 ± 0.48 g/dL) and PCV levels (43.43 ± 1.48) compared to the control group. Serum biochemical parameters were affected in Group P2. Total plasma protein remained within the physiological range in all groups (6.50-6.80 g/dL), while blood glucose levels decreased as turmeric inclusion increased, with a level of 60.00 ± 6.27 mg/dL in Group P0 compared with groups P1 and P2. The LDL concentrations demonstrated a moderate increase across the treatment groups, reaching the highest level in Group P2 at 23.25 ± 5.05 mg/dL. Supplementing local sheep diets with 5 DM of Curcuma domestica powder influenced hemoglobin, PCV, glucose, and LDL. © The Author(s) 2026.
