Dietary curcumin alleviates aflatoxin B 1 ‐induced liver injury and improves growth performance in broilers via Nrf2 activation and NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition

Dietary curcumin effectively mitigated AFB₁-induced hepatotoxicity and performance loss in broilers through activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings highlight CUR as a promising natural feed additive for protecting poultry against mycotoxin-induced oxidative and inflammatory damage. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
