Canthashine 10
Advanced Pigmentation Additive for Poultry
Canthashine 10 is a high-purity, high-stability canthaxanthin-based pigmentation additive designed to deliver deep, uniform yolk color and vibrant shank pigmentation—consistently and reliably across commercial poultry production systems.
Why Canthashine 10?
High-Purity Canthaxanthin (10%)
Formulated with premium synthetic canthaxanthin for superior bioavailability, stability, and controlled deposition.
Key Benefits
Improves Yolk Color Uniformity
Ensures consistent yolk pigmentation across production cycles, meeting premium market standards.
Enhances Skin & Shank Pigmentation
Delivers bright, uniform skin and shank coloration in broilers.
High Stability Under Processing
Maintains pigment integrity during pelleting and high-temperature feed processing.
Supports Antioxidant Protection
Helps neutralize oxidative stress associated with high production and metabolic load.
Improves Market Value
Supports premium egg and poultry product positioning through visual consistency.
Improves Feed Program Efficiency
Precise pigmentation reduces the need for over-supplementation, helping optimize pigment
Precision Beadlet Technology for Consistent Color
Canthashine 10 is formulated using high-stability beadlet technology, designed for modern feed manufacturing conditions.
This ensures:
High resistance to pelleting temperatures
Minimal pigment loss during processing
Uniform color expression across flocks
Mechanism of Action
Canthashine 10 works through a multi-stage pigmentation process:
Uniform Dispersion
Precision beadlet technology ensures even distribution of pigment throughout the feed.
Stable Pigment Protection
Encapsulation protects canthaxanthin from heat, light, and oxidation during feed processing and storage.
Efficient Deposition
Optimized bioavailability allows predictable absorption and deposition into egg yolk, skin, and shank tissues.
