Canthaplus 10% DW ® - Canthaxanthin 10% Feed Grade Cold Water Dispersiable

Carotenoids are used to colour food products of animal origin. In order to meet market needs and considering the inherent variations of the diets in terms of colouring agents, the feed industry adds colouring agents to salmonid feed (to colour the flesh), to laying hens diet (to modify the yolk pigmentation) and, in some areas, to chicken diet (to modify skin pigmentation). Canthaxanthin is one of the carotenoids authorised for use in animal feed as a colouring agent in poultry feeds and fish feeds in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC as E-161g.
