Exploring the Health Benefits and Nutrient-Rich Qualities of Antioxidant Pigments in Avian Species: A Comprehensive Review
Keywords:
Carotenoids, Bioactive properties, Poultry, Health benefits
Abstract
A class of lipid-soluble pigments known as carotenoids is found in many different types of plants, microalgae, bacteria, and fungi. They create a wide range of colors. Because of the health-promoting and bioactive qualities of carotenoids, there has been a noticeable surge in interest in their use as feed additives recently. This review aims to highlight the benefits of carotenoids for the poultry industry in terms of health and medicine by gathering the most recent information on their bioactive properties. Applications-wise, carotenoid-rich goods are widely accessible as natural colorants, vitamins, and additives for food and feed. Carotenoids have a variety of biological functions that support several medical advantages, including immune modulatory, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective effects. Chickens' production, health, and the quality of their eggs and meat can be improved by adding carotenoids to meals. Pre- and post-hatched birds have less oxidative stress due to carotenoids, which also block free radicals, activate antioxidant enzymes, and interfere with signaling pathways, among other processes. Utilizing carotenoids as a supplement to promote bird health and enhance product quality in poultry feed. The coloration of egg yolks, skin, legs, beaks, combs, feathers, and fat is mostly dependent on carotenoids. The diet lacking in carotenoids caused the birds' pale skin and egg yolk colors.
