Abstract

The results indicated that the addition of red pigments led to a deeper-colored yolk compared to the control group, with the highest intensity observed at a 6% red pigments. Furthermore, the addition of red pigments is promoted the quality of chicken eggs and production performance. It indicated that Maepayathong dum rice could be used as a raw material for producing natural pigments to replace synthetic dyes in egg-laying hen feed.
