Carotenoid Composition of Serum and Egg Yolks of Hens Fed Diets Varying in Carotenoid Composition

TL;DR: High performance liquid chromatography of yolks of hens fed a diet based on yellow corn, alfalfa, and soybeans revealed over 20 cartenoids, which imply an esterification pathway and an oxidative pathway in laying hens for the metabolism of hydroxycarotenoids.
