摘要

COMPOSITION FOR REDUCING CHOLESTEROL CONTENT IN DOMESTIC POULTRY EGGS, DOMESTIC BIRD FEED AND FEED SUPPLY, LOW CHOLESTEROL EGGS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME. The present invention relates to compositions and methods for producing low cholesterol poultry eggs using hypocholesterolemic compounds, cholesterol lowering supplements, and feeds thereof. Preferably, this invention provides microbial statins without the C6 methyl group, as shown in formula V, to produce low cholesterol poultry eggs. The invention allows the production of low cholesterol poultry eggs without the concomitant reduction in egg production by providing microbial statins, compactin and pravastatin as well as their derivatives as cholesterol lowering components. This invention also provides methods for producing low cholesterol poultry eggs without the very large increase in production cost since the effective amount of the microbial statin-containing cholesterol-lowering composition costs 1/20 to 1/4 of that of the statin. synthetic.
