2. Carotenoids for poultry diet
✓Carotenoids are natural compounds present in animals and plants
✓Carotenoids were first discovered in carrots, from which in 1831 a
compound that was to be named ‘beta-carotene’ was isolated. Since
then, we have identified in the carotenoids family more than 600
molecules. The differences in carotenoid profiles in the various tissues
are determined by the processes of absorption and transportation, and
by the metabolic capacity to modify dietary carotenoids
✓ It is well known that birds are not able to synthesise carotenoids,
and thus these essential compounds must come from their diet.
✓Carotenoids are mainly found in the egg yolk, the skin and fat, the
liver,shank, and the feathers.

3. Carotenoids for poultry diet
✓They are essential not only for pigmentation, but also for
immunomodulation as antioxidants, evidenced by the high
disappearance rate of carotenoids from the blood stream during immune
stress periods, and reduced pigmentation throughout the body.
✓Colour is one of the most important factors affecting consumer choices
through sensory evaluation of foods. In most countries, golden yolks are
preferred because good colour has been traditionally associated with
high health. Also, eggs used in recipes can influence the colour of pasta,
bakery products and sauces. In addition, although consumer preference
for broiler skin colour varies according to culture and region, here also,
good health is generally associated with golden skin colour.

4. Carotenoids for poultry diet
✓Carotenoids have been used for many years in the poultry
industry as a means of pigmenting eggs and meat
✓Accumulated carotenoids may increase the quality of
chicken by improving flavor (Josephson, 1987), delaying
oxidation and pigmenting bodies
