Importance of meat and egg quality

  • As the poultry production increases to meet the continuously growing market demand, it’s also essential to ensure the quality of poultry products.
  • To achieve top poultry meat quality, there should be minimal defects in conformation or broken bones with intact skin and fat covering, black bone syndrome, woody breast syndrome, on top of reduced drip loss and improved tenderness.
  • Important aspects of egg quality are clean, intact shells, with clear and firm whites and minimal defects in the yolk.
  • In some niche markets, a more golden colored yolk, skin, and shanks are attributed to higher quality, premium products that can also be used as a differentiation factor in the competitive market.
  • Therefore, the needs for meat and egg quality in poultry production are:
    • Ensuring high quality meat and egg products
    • Enabling differentiation opportunities for meat and egg products

Meat and Egg Quality Portfolio Offering

Optimizing skeletal health and eggshell quality by providing the most bioavailable vitamin D source reduces the opportunity for bone and eggshell breakage during processing and supports muscle development for fewer muscle myopathies. Yolk, skin, and shank color can be improved through carotenoids and using a digital yolk fan can help recommend dosage.

Providing optimal vitamin nutrition to birds ensures good health, productivity, food quality and nutritional value and can further improve meat and egg quality attributes. Using a monitoring system such as blood biomarkers can help determine if birds are fed optimal vitamin nutrition to meet their needs, and effects on the environmental footprint can be calculated using sustainability measurements.

OUR AMBITION

Meat Quality

Consumers want meat and meat products that:

  • Are safe

  • Have an acceptable shelf life
  • Taste good and are nutritious

Our expertly developed products help our customers supply the meat that today’s health- and quality-conscious consumers demand.

Main Benefits

The animal’s diet can have a positive effect on many aspects of meat quality. In particular, vitamins can improve both the nutritional quality and the texture of meat and meat products. We have developed a range of innovative products to help harness this potential, including:

  • Our specific Optimum Vitamin Nutrition (OVN™) concept – a structured and precisely controlled method for supplying all the key vitamins in optimum quantities. More nutritious feed for the animals translates into better nutrition for consumers.
  • Accurate vitamin E supplementation can help reduce the oxidation of fats in meat, which causes unpleasant odors and flavors. Feeding target levels of ROVIMIX® E50 (vitamin E) can help with this, as well as in reducing meat drip loss.
