POULTRY
Research
and trials conducted in Sweden, Australia and Japan
have demonstrated Haematococcus pluvialis
algae as an effective natural pigment for layer and
broiler applications. NatuRose, which is derived from
this microalgae, provides an ideal carotenoid mix for egg
pigmentation. The egg yolk colour is enhanced when
poultry are supplemented with astaxanthin. Poultry
exhibit significantly higher live weight gain and breast
weight than birds fed with conventional poultry
diets.
Benefits
-
An Australian trial
and a research in Sweden produced yolks with a poultry
color score of 11 at a 6ppm inclusion with
NatuRose. (deeper,
richer colour of
yolks)
-
NatuRose
increases fertility, weight gain, and coloration in
broiler
poultry.
-
In
Japan and
Australia Haematococcus is used commercially as a
natural egg yolk pigment.
-
Decreases
mortality of chicken and improves overall health
status
