Application and Effect
Pigmentation enhancement: Astaxanthin is a natural pigment that can improve the coloration of various animals, including fish, crustaceans, poultry, and egg yolks. Adding astaxanthin to their diet can help achieve vibrant and attractive colors, which is particularly desirable in the aquaculture and poultry industries.
Antioxidant properties: Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant that can help combat oxidative stress in animals. It supports the immune system by neutralizing harmful free radicals, reducing inflammation, and improving overall health and well-being.
Fertility and reproduction: Astaxanthin has been found to improve fertility and reproductive performance in animals. It can enhance sperm quality and motility, increase egg production, and improve hatchability in poultry and aquaculture species.
Growth promotion: Some studies suggest that astaxanthin may have a positive impact on animal growth and performance. It could potentially improve feed efficiency, increase weight gain, and enhance muscle development, although more research is needed to fully understand these effects.
Application: Astaxanthin 10% feed grade is typically added to animal feed formulations. It can be incorporated into various feed types, including pelleted, extruded, and powdered feeds. The recommended dosage of astaxanthin may vary depending on the target species, desired effects, and final product requirements. Consultation with a nutritionist or veterinarian is advisable to determine the appropriate dosage and inclusion level for specific animal species and production goals.
