Technology for producing Omega-3 enriched chicken eggs

Since the 1990s, there has been a lot of studies of Omega-3 on the world, especially the studies to create Omega-3 enriched products. Many products have been commercialized in the market such as: Omega-3 enhanced milk, mayonnaise soup, Omega-3 enriched eggs. These products are available in most advanced countries, including the USA, Australia, Canada, Japan and in Europe.

In Vietnam, Scientists from Department of Animal biotechnology under the Institute of Tropical Biology have studied successfully Omega-3 enriched chicken eggs. These eggs contain from 5 to 8 times higher level of Omega-3  than the Omega-3 level of normal eggs.
