However, Ilsely et al. (2005) reported no effect on growth performance or immune status in nursery pigs fed 200 mg/kg of curcumin. When pigs were fed 1551 mg/kg of BW/d of turmeric oleoresin, an adverse effect was noted on weight gain and feed conversion rate. It was also observed in the same study that as turmeric intake increased, thyroid and liver weights increased (Bille et al.,63 1985). After a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus infection, nursery pigs fed 10 mg/kg of turmeric oleoresin had better G:F than the control pigs. In addition, turmeric increased ADG at d 7-14 PI and d 0-14 PI (Liu et al., 2013a). Even with little data concerning growth performance in swine and turmeric, a wide variation in results exists
