A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of TR on the survival of Chinese soft-shelled turtles(SSTs), Pelodiscus sinensis, under a high ambient temperature. A total of 320 female SSTs were assigned randomly to two diets: basal diet(the control group, n=160) and an interventional diet supplemented with 10% TR(the TR group, n=160). Our results demonstrated that supplementation of TR increased the SST survival rate by 135.5%, and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity of SST liver by 112.8%, and decreased the malondialdehyde(MDA) content of SST liver by 36.4%, compared to the control group. The skin of the SST fed TR showed a golden color. High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) analysis indicated that the concentrations of curcumin in TR and the skin of the SST fed TR were(1.69±0.30) and(0.14±0.03) μg/g, respectively. Our observation suggests that supplementation of TR increased the survival rate of SST under high ambient temperatures. We speculated that the increased survival rate and tolerance at the high ambient temperature were associated with the anti-oxidation activity of curcumin from TR. Moreover, curcumin in TR could be deposited in SST skin, which made it more favored in the market of China. Our findings provide new knowledge and evidence to effectively reuse TR as a feed additive in animal and aquatic farming.展开更多
