Curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric,is well known for its broad biological effects .Exhaustive studieson curcumin conducted to revealed its antioxidant,antimicrobial,anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic andanti-coagulant activity. The current study was executed to investigate the effect of curcumin on histologicaland physiological aspects of liver, pancreas and kidney. A total one handred fifty of chick meat of hybridsRoss 308 (1st day old) were randomly subdivided into two groups: group I (controlled), (n=75) and groupII, treated birds (n=75). Group II feed with 50 mg/100kg diet of curcumin .Samples of blood were takenfrom 50 of chick meat per group to estimate blood parameters. Twenty five chick meat per each groupwere scarified after forty nine days of feeding with curcumin, the pancreas, liver & kidney were removedfor histological processing. After the long-term physiological analysis of our study, results indicated theturmeric is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can scavenge oxygen free radicals, alleviation offat peroxidation by minimized the levels of liver enzymes ALT, AST and ALP at the level 0.5 of (Curcumalonga). Histologically, the results of this study revealed that employing of curcumin contribute in animprovement of the microscopical architecture of the target organs.
