Consumers are increasingly concerned about the potential health risks, including carcinogenicity, associated with synthetic ingredients. EU regulations restricting apoester use in animal feed create a demand for safe and effective alternatives. Poultry producers can turn to natural pigments like carotenoids to maintain color consistency and consumer appeal.
Naturally occurring antioxidants called carotenoids play a crucial role in poultry. These pigments not only enhance the color of egg yolks, chicken skin, legs, beaks, feathers, but also possess antioxidant properties. For consumers, vibrant color and appearance signifies freshness and quality.
Animals require carotenoids to achieve this vibrant color, but lack the ability to synthesize them on their own. Therefore, these substances must be delivered through the feed.
Don’t settle for subpar results. Invest in the right natural carotenoid feed supplement and experience the difference with Colonut.
The value is in the color!
