“…The chemical procedures used to determine total carotenoids in each of the various tissues were described, respectively, in the following references: blood (Kimble, 1939); skin (Potter et al, 1956); liver (Gade et al, 1956;and Kaser et al, 1943). Liver carotenoids and liver vitamin A were determined by combining the procedures given in the latter two references.…”

“…Therefore, coccidiostats and antibiotics, when added to the diet, enhance pigmentation (Olson et al, 1972;Fry and Harms, 1974;Harms et al, 1976). Other feed additives, such as antioxidants (Bartov and Bornstein, 1966) and vitamin Bn (Potter et al, 1956), also enhance pigmentation. Harms et al (1977) observed differences in pigmentation between various strains of broilers, and Marusich et al (1960) found differences in pigmentation between breeds of 1 Florida Agricultural Experiment Stations Journal Series No.…”

The Influence of Different Xanthophyll-Containing Feedstuffs on Pigmentation of Broilers Reared in Open and Windowless Houses

In two experiments, yellow corn, corn gluten meal, alfalfa, or combinations of these pigment-containing feedstuffs were incorporated into finisher diets and fed from 29 to 56 days to broilers housed in either open or windowless houses. Dominant wavelength (DWL), excitation purity, luminosity of shanks, and blood xanthophyll levels at 56 days were determined. Xanthophyll consumption was also calculated.Xanthophyll consumption and blood xanthophyll levels within treatments were inversely related. Shank pigmentation values indicated that feeding xanthophyll supplements containing zeaxanthin, such as yellow corn or corn gluten meal, provided higher DWL; corn gluten meal produced the most acceptable values. Inferior pigmentation was observed in shanks from broilers reared in windowless houses, but pigmentation was improved when corn gluten meal was fed as the source of xanthophyll. It was concluded that the relative higher ratio of zeaxanthin to lutein present in corn gluten meal was responsible for the pigmentation improvement of broilers reared in windowless houses when this feedstuff was fed.
