Spirulina has been shown to be an effective means of altering chicken product quality to meet
consumer preferences. For instance, the total cholesterol content of eggs can be lowered by
including Spirulina into layer hen rations. This is mainly due to Spirulina’s high antioxidant
and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content that enriches the nutritional
value of eggs at the expense of cholesterol content.
Egg yolk colour has also been found to intensify linearly with increased dietary Spirulina levels.
In white Leghorn layer hens, dietary. Spirulina levels of 3-9% of the total ration was found to
result in egg yolk colours best representative of consumer preferences. Similar findings have
been found in trials with Japanese quails.
Dietary Spirulina levels at 1% of the total ration in the week prior to slaughter has been found to
result in broiler muscle tissue pigmentation at levels best representing consumer preferences.

without any known side effects.
1. Better visual appearance in the chickens with eggs becoming more golden –yellow as
pigmentation increases.
