Lutein helps protect retinal tissues, supports immune function, and improves skin, feather, and egg yolk color in animals, making it a valuable functional ingredient in modern feed formulations.
What is Marigold Extract?
Marigold extract is derived from the flowers of Tagetes erecta. It is widely used in animal nutrition, feed additives, and pet supplements due to its high carotenoid content, which supports eye health, antioxidant protection, and natural pigmentation. Marigold extract is a key natural source of lutein, a carotenoid commonly included in feed formulations for pets, poultry, livestock, and aquaculture.
Marigold flowers contain several carotenoids. Lutein esters make up approximately 70–90% of the total carotenoids, while free lutein accounts for about 5–20%, depending on extraction and processing methods. Smaller amounts of zeaxanthin and beta-carotene are also present. These compounds contribute to the antioxidant and pigmentation properties of marigold extract.
The main active ingredients found in marigold extract include the following:
Lutein (CAS 127-40-2) is the most important carotenoid in Lutein (CAS 127-40-2) is the primary carotenoid in marigold extract. It supports eye health and retinal protection in pets, offers antioxidant benefits, and enhances egg yolk color, poultry skin tone, and fish pigmentation in feed applications.erified forms of lutein that are more stable during processing and storage. In animal feed, lutein esters are converted into lutein during digestion and are widely used to enhance pigmentation in poultry and aquaculture.
Zeaxanthin (CAS 144-68-3) is another carotenoid present in small amounts. It works with lutein to support eye health, visual function, and provides additional antioxidant protection.
Beta-carotene (CAS 7235-40-7) is present in trace amounts and contributes to immune support and nutritional value as a provitamin A carotenoid.
Marigold extract is available in several specifications based on active ingredient concentration. Common options include lutein powder at 5%, 10%, 20%, and high-purity 80%, as well as marigold oleoresin containing 10–40% lutein esters.
For animal health and feed applications, the most popular specifications are Lutein Powder 5% and 10%, which are widely used in pet food, dog and cat supplements, poultry feed, and livestock premixes. Higher concentrations such as 20% lutein powder are often used in pet nutraceutical products, while lutein ester-rich marigold oleoresin is commonly applied in poultry and aquaculture feed to improve egg yolk color and animal pigmentation.

Lutein Manufacturing Process
Jayoo Biotech produces Feed Grade Lutein Powder from natural marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta) using a standardized extraction and purification process. This approach preserves active carotenoids and ensures consistent purity, safety, and quality for feed and pet supplement manufacturers worldwide.
The process starts with high-quality marigold flowers, which are crushed and processed to extract carotenoids. Controlled extraction yields a carotenoid-rich solution that is concentrated to produce marigold oleoresin, the key intermediate containing lutein esters and other natural pigments.
The oleoresin is then filtered and purified to remove plant residues and impurities, ensuring the stability of the active ingredients. Saponification then converts lutein esters into free lutein, enhancing bioavailability and functionality in feed and nutritional applications. The solution enters the crystallization stage, where lutein crystals are formed under controlled conditions. These crystals are then carefully dried to produce stable lutein powder, ensuring optimal moisture levels and product stability during storage and transportation.
Once dried, the lutein crystals are blended and standardized to create Lutein Powder 5% feed grade, ensuring uniform potency and easy integration into feed premixes, pet food, and supplements. The final product is tested for purity, heavy metals, microbiology, and residual solvents, then packed in sealed containers to preserve quality and shelf life.
Jayoo Biotech’s lutein powder is manufactured under strict quality control and meets international standards for feed and supplement ingredients. Each batch is third-party tested to verify purity, safety, and compliance with global regulations. Jayoo Biotech can also customize lutein concentrations, including 10%, 20%, or higher-purity extracts, according to specific formulation needs. This flexible manufacturing capability allows us to provide tailored solutions for animal nutrition, pet supplements, poultry feed, and aquaculture applications, ensuring consistent supply and reliable product performance for global customers.
