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.,

1985)
