Treatment indicated as CG = Control group (basal diet), CCG = Curcumin control group (450 mg curcumin /kg feed), R1G = 150 mg curcumin + 5.0 mg AFB1/kg feed, R2G = 300 mg curcumin + 5.0 mg AFB1/kg feed, R3G = 450 mg curcumin + 5.0 mg AFB1/kg feed, AFB1 G = 5.0 mg AFB1/kg feed. Values represented as mean ± standard error (SE). The value (mean ± SE) of control group shows three observations (n = 3), while the remaining values shows five observations per group (n = 5). Means with different letters statistically significant according to Tukey’s HSD test (p ≤ 0.05).
