In poultry, C­30 ester is used as a feed additive for pigmentation of egg yolks and broiler skin. It is the most efficacious yellow pigment available to poultry producers. In comparison with xanthophylls from plants, C­30 ester provides three times more coloring potential in egg yolks and 1.5 times better coloration when used in skin pigmentation.
