Variations in BCO2 Coding Sequence Causing a Difference in Carotenoid Concentration in the Skin of Chickens

2020-08-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Carotenoid consumption decreases the risk of cancer, osteoporosis, or neurodegenerative diseases through interrupting the formation of free radicals. Carotenoid-pigmented egg yolk, skin, legs, beak, comb, and feathers in broilers give consumers the impression that they are healthier than none-pigmented ones. Deposition of carotenoids in chicken skin makes the skin color turn from white into y...
