The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of curcumin with increased solubility (CS: 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8% of diet) and broiler sex (males and females) on plasma lipoprotein concentrations, meat quality, and chemical composition in the breast meat (BM). A total of 240 1-day-old Arbor Acres chicks were randomly divided into ten groups, six replicates of four chicks each, using a 5 × 2 factorial experiment. All chicks were fed diets and water ad libitum for a period of 6 weeks. Results showed that no any interactions were presented. Supplementation of CS reduced plasma total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and meat fat content, while had no significant differences between treatments in meat quality, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). In addition, TC and the fat content of BM tended to decrease when compared with the control group.Mahidol UniversityAgricultural and Biological SciencesVeterinaryArticleSCOPUS10.1007/s11250-019-02052-4
