It is a common practice to color egg yolks by adding pigments in the diet of layers. In fact, this phenomenon in nature is as old as the very animal kingdom.
Last May 12th, 13th and 14th ITPSA held a technical seminar with its official distributor in The Philippines, Philchema Inc., about mycotoxin binders and mainly focused in the concept of Pillared clay, which has led ITPSA to register its product CAPTOX®.
Egg yolk color is determined by a combination of yellow and red carotenoids in the layer’s diet. These may be mostly synthetic or derived from vegetal extracts, according to consumer preferences.
Once again ITPSA will be in the international trade show VIV Asia as exhibitor (at Hall 103, Booth E080) with its distributor in Thailand, Nuevotec CO., Ltd.
VIV Asia is is the world’s most important trade exhibition of Southeast Asia for animal husbandry & processing. This event will be held in Bangkok from March 11 to 13 and it will bring together professionals from sectors of poultry meat, eggs, pig meat as well as calve meat, dairy, fish and pets.
In recent years, the interest in the relationship between diet and human health has led to exploring the possibility of obtaining differentiated products that are adapted to the demands of consumers and have added value linked to the nutritional profile of eggs.
