Abstract :The study was carried out to investigate the effect of adding lutein, alfalfa meal, marigold meal, paprika meal, ?-apo-8`-carotenoic acid ethyl ester, canthaxanthin and ?-apo-8`-carotenoic acid ethyl ester+canthaxanthin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3:1); on egg yolk pigmentation and production in white corn and wheat diets. The maximum Roche color fan insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RCF); value was found in canthaxanthin and the mixture of ?-apo-8`-carotenoic acid ethyl ester and canthaxantin. The maximum ?-carotene equivalent insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BCE); value was found in ?-apo-8`-carotenoic acid ethyl ester. The maximum Hunter L value was found in the control and lutein. The maximum Hunter a value was found in paprika meal. The maximum Hunter b value was found in ?-apo-8`-carotenoic acid ethly ester and alfalfa meal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P0.01);.
