Versele-Laga Yel-Lux

Yellow colorant based on lutein

Intensifies the yellow colour of the plumage,
Increases the resistance.

As feathers consist of dead cells and are consequently not fed by the metabolism, they absorb the colour when they are formed. On average, the plumage is changed once a year. However not in one go. The moulting of the old feathers is stimulated by the formation of new ones and this is a gradual process so that the bird keeps a full plumage.

When YEL-LUX is added to the food it is transported to the place where the feather grows and it takes on the more yellow colour. The feather grows and it takes on the more intense yellow colour. The feather formed retains its colour until the formation of a new feather.
