PIGMENTATION ORIGINATED
HISTORICALLY
The visual appearance is an important
characteristic for the consumer.
Pigmentation is associated with
healthy animals and quality products.
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
Country preference
concerning pigmentation
corn producing countries
 corn contains natural pigments, xanthophylls
 free range layers grass contains natural pigments,
xanthophylls
Layers and broilers are unable to synthesise
their own pigments.
Pigments added to the diet to obtain the desired colour
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
PIGMENTATION
1. Analyse the market needs in terms of colours
 an economic factor
2. The colour of egg yolks from
light-yellow to golden-yellow
expressed in the Roche Colour
Fan score number
3. The colour of the skin and shank of broilers.
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
CONTROL OF PIGMENTATION
•Mainly visual observations
•They are subjective:
• individual observations
• source of light
• background colour
 Colour meter
Chromatometer
 3 Dimensional determination

Pigmentation variables
•Xanthophyll level varies in raw materials

genetic, field and climate effects

harvest and storage conditions
 temperature
 light
 time
•The results on the pigmentation depend on :
•the xanthophyll content and the deposition rate by the
animal.
•The adaptation period for layers is about 5 days.
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
FACTORS AFFECTING PIGMENTATION
Oxidation
 Vitamin E support the absorption (biological antioxidants)
 Antioxidants in feed to protect the fat and the xanthophylls
from oxidation.
The feed intake
Stress conditions (temperature, etc.)
Diseases
Salmonellosis and coccidiosis damage the mucosa of the
digestive tract and reduce the absorption of carotenoids.
Processing techniques
High temperatures may degrade xanthophylls.
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
WHAT ARE NATURAL
PIGMENTS
Natural Pigments are based on natural Carotenoids
mainly used in poultry feed. (fish feed is a new
opportinuty).
They are obtained from dehydrated, stabilized,
homogenized and soaponified Marigold extract (yellow
pigments) and Paprica extract (red pigments).
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
PRODUCTION
1. Flower Meal production
2. Pelletting : To have a better action of the solvent
3. Oleoresin production and extraction of the solvent
(ether)
4. Oleoresin saponification (with Potassium)
5. Adsorption on a dry carrier (for powder
products)
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
Saponification:
Hydroxycarotenoids have to be saponified
before being absorbed. Saponification
improves the digestibility of the original
esterified Tagete and Capsicum xantophylls.
Isomerisation:
The most bioavailable pigments are on trans form.
To reach a higher percent of trans form, flowers
are selected genetically. A chemical processing
technique called isomerisation (cis to trans) can
also be used
PRES/Pigments/1 DD 14/11/02
NATURAL and
SYNTHETIC
Natural for:
Yellow skin broilers: natural is preferred
because gives a uniform gold pigmentation
Vegetal eggs: synthetic pigments are not allowed
Pasta eggs: better colour, more uniform and
resistant to heat
General trend:consumers are moving to natural.
Researches show doubts about healthiness of
synthetic pigments.

In broiler diets 8 kg NUTRI-GOLD YELLOW can replace 1 kg synthetic product.
In some countries synthetic products are prohibited
by law because of safety reasons

BROILER DIETS WITH
XANTHOPHYLLS FOR A GOLDEN
YELLOW SKIN COLOUR
Several diets are normally used; A starter, grower and finisher diet.
It is efficient to have lower xanthophyll levels in the starter - and higher
levels in the finisher diet
Example of dosage recommendation :
Starter diet
- No
NUTR-GOLD YELLOW dry
Grower diet - 0.5-1.0 kg/t NUTR-GOLD YELLOW dry
Finisher diet - 1.0-1.5 kg/t NUTR-GOLD YELLOW dry
The dosage depends on the natural (ca. 15 ppm) xanthophyll level,
body weight, feed conversion.For more intensive pigmentation small
amounts of red pigments can be added. ( 0.5-1.0 kg/tonne NUTRIGOLD RED)
