About Xanthophyll

Xanthophylls are a class of yellow to red carotenoids that are commonly found in marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta), and some microorganisms. They are known for their antioxidant properties and are important for various aspects of animal nutrition, including poultry nutrition and Xanthophylls are not produced by poultry themselves, so they need to obtain them from their diet. Adding xanthophyll-rich ingredients like marigold extract, maize & maize gluten to the poultry feed can help increase the levels of xanthophylls in the birds' tissues, resulting in improved pigmentation.

About Lutein

Lutein and xanthophyll are related compounds that belong to a group of phytochemicals known as carotenoids. Both lutein and xanthophyll are yellow pigments found in various fruits, vegetables, and other plants.

 

Benefits of Xanthophyll, Lutein and Zeaxanthins in Poultry Nutrition:

  • Pigmentation: Xanthophyll & lutein combination can help enhance the pigmentation of egg yolks and poultry skin. Lutein, in particular, is known for its ability to impart a deep yellow to orange colour.
  • Antioxidant Properties: Carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin are potent antioxidants that can help neutralize free radicals in the body. In poultry, the xanthophylls can support the immune system and help protect cells from oxidative damage.
  • Eye Health: Lutein and zeaxanthin are known for their beneficial effects on eye health. In poultry, the carotenoids can support retinal vision and eye function, which is important for the birds' overall well-being.
  • Reproductive Health: Carotenoids like lutein have been linked to improved reproductive performance in poultry. They can support fertility and hatchability rates, which are crucial factors in poultry production.
  • Immune System Support: The antioxidant properties of carotenoids can help boost the immune system of poultry, making them more resilient to diseases and stressors.
  • Growth and Development: Carotenoids play a role in various physiological processes in poultry, including growth and development. By providing xanthophyll and lutein as dietary supplements, poultry producers can help ensure optimal growth rates and overall health in their birds.
