Innovations developed by the University of Thessaly for the production of innovative animal feeds and biofunctional eggs with increased vitamin D will be implemented on a pilot basis.
A common egg contains only 20 international units of vitamin D when it is recommended to take at least 800 units per day, i.e. 40 common eggs are required to cover the daily dose.
The development of vitamin-rich eggs is an innovation in itself, but the method and composition of poultry feeds are also an innovation.
Special formulations of vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D will be used for poultry feeds in proportions that have been determined in the laboratory of the University of Thessaly for the best use of calcium and the production of eggs rich in vitamin D.
The certification of the vitamin content of animal feeds and eggs will be carried out in the laboratories of the University.
