Overview

Controlled trial reveals substantial multi-enrichment of eggs with omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, vitamin E, and lutein in laying hens, highlighting an effective path to functional food design.

Key Points

To examine the feasibility of simultaneously enriching laying hen eggs with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, organic selenium, vitamin E, and lutein through dietary oil and nutricine adjustments.
A total of 100 TETRA SL laying hens were allocated into two nutritional groups: a control group (C) fed a standard diet with 5% soybean oil, and an experimental group (E).
Group E received a diet replacing soybean oil with 1.5% fish oil, 1.5% rapeseed oil, and 2.0% linseed oil, fortified with higher amounts of organic selenium (0.47 mg/kg), vitamin E (125.2 mg/kg), and lutein (120.5 mg/kg).
Total n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were significantly increased in enriched eggs compared to control eggs (480.65 vs. 204.58 mg/100 g; p < 0.001).
Enriched eggs demonstrated significantly higher selenium (albumen increased 1.81-fold, yolk increased 1.18-fold), vitamin E (2.74-fold increase), and lutein (8.94-fold increase) compared to conventional eggs (all p < 0.001).
