INCREASE IN THE CONTENT OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS IN EGGS VIA NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION OF ANIMALS USING A VERY LOW DOSE OF A FLAVONOID-RICH GRAPE EXTRACT

摘要

Method for modifying the essential fatty acid profile of eggs through low-dose nutritional supplementation based on plant extract rich in flavonoids in the plant extract.;The present invention relates to a method for supplementing animals that produce eggs that are intended for consumption and/or reproduction using a very low dose of plant extract so as to naturally modulate the profile of essential fatty acid in the eggs produced.;Said method consists of a step of supplementing the complete feed and/or the drinking water of the animals using a very low dose of the plant extract and makes it possible to significantly increase the proportion of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid of the omega-3 family, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and/or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in the eggs produced by these animals.;The present invention is particularly intended for the agro-feed industry, including the animal nutrition industry, in order to obtain eggs for consumption that are enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or to improve the quality of eggs intended for reproduction of the species, whether terrestrial and/or aquatic.
