Both the nature and the consistency of appearance of food are major criteria for consumers.

The shade of egg yolks and poultry skin is largely determined by the birds’ diet – the contents of which can vary enormously. To ensure a constant and desirable egg yolk and poultry skin shade, the feed needs to be managed carefully.

We have developed a system that allows precise control of pigmentation through the tailored and controlled addition of carotenoids – naturally occurring biological pigments that can be added to the feed.

Brighter yolks

CAROPHYLL^® red and CAROPHYLL^® yellow are feed additives which allow egg producers to achieve precise control of egg yolk color. A high level of accuracy over pigmentation can be achieved through the use of our special and well known YolkFan^TM and supplementation guidelines.

Perfect skin pigmentation

The shade of chicken skin is an important marketing factor. CAROPHYLL^® red and CAROPHYLL^® yellow allow producers to align the shade of skin exactly to that required. A particularly high degree of control can be exercised when rationing is calculated using our Broiler Color Fan and supplementation guidelines.
