Astaxanthin supplementation enriches productive performance, physiological and immunological responses in laying hens

Yuanzhao Zhu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that supplementation of astaxanthin-rich Phaffia rhodozyma in diets for laying hens can increase feed intake, improve egg yolk color, enhance antioxidant defenses, and regulate immune function.

Dietary supplementation with natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis improves antioxidant enzyme activity, free radical scavenging ability, and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes in laying hens

Nuo Heng et al.

Summary: The study found that dietary ASTA can improve the antioxidant enzyme activity and free radical scavenging ability in laying hens, potentially due to the upregulation of mRNA expression of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and NRF2.

Astaxanthin for the Food Industry

Barbara Stachowiak et al.

Summary: Xanthophyll astaxanthin is an expensive and important industrial pigment commonly used in aquaculture, responsible for the pink and red color of salmonid meat and shrimp. It has strong antioxidative properties and health benefits, thus being utilized in nutraceuticals and cosmetics. However, its application in food technology is limited due to concerns about the effects of synthetic astaxanthin on human health and the high cost of natural astaxanthin.

Assessment of Response to Moderate and High Dose Supplementation of Astaxanthin in Laying Hens

Dieudonne M. Dansou et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of moderate and high dose dietary supplementation of astaxanthin on egg quality and laying hens' health status. It was found that moderate dose supplementation efficiently improved egg yolk color and laying hens' health status, while high dose supplementation showed positive effects but with decreased efficacy compared to moderate doses. Astaxanthin had no adverse effects on laying hens' performance and health status but may not be valuable for egg fortification at high doses.
