Curcuma Xanthorrhiza - Feed Ingredient

Curcuma xanthorrhiza, commonly known as Java turmeric or Javanese ginger, is a tropical plant native to Indonesia. It belongs to the same botanical family as common turmeric (Curcuma longa) and is valued for its rhizome, which is dried and ground into powder or extracted for medicinal use.

The rhizome contains curcuminoids, essential oils (notably xanthorrhizol), and other phenolic compounds. These constituents have been studied in other species for potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties.
