* Yolk Color & Pigment Availability: Egg yolk color is determined by pigments in the feed. However, these pigments are often in a non-ester form, limiting their bioavailability. Furthermore, the natural pigment content in feed ingredients like corn and alfalfa can vary significantly due to processing and storage.
* International Color Standard: The BASF color guide serves as the international standard for determining desired yolk color.
* Optimized Coloration: Combining yellow and red pigments delivers the best results, creating a uniform and appealing yolk color.
Benefits of consumption:
* Enhanced Coloration: Improves egg yolk color in laying hens and skin pigmentation in broilers.
* Stable and Accessible: Highly stable for consistent results and easily incorporated into feed.
* Extended Shelf Life: Maintains its quality and effectiveness during long-term storage.
* Uniform Color Distribution: Ensures consistent yolk color throughout the egg and mixes readily into feed.
