The enrichment of egg with folate is a viable option for supplying the general population of a
food product rich in natural folates. However, attempts to increase the concentration of folate …

In light of evidence supporting a need for humans to increase their dietary folate intakes,
experiments were conducted to evaluate the extent to which egg folate levels could be …

Supplementing laying hen diets with folic acid at 4 mg/kg of diet for 3 wk led to the
production of folate-enriched eggs with an approximately 3-fold increase in egg folate …

Enrichment of eggs with folate is possible when dietary folic acid levels are increased.
However, development of optimal strategies for the production of folate-enriched eggs …

The conversion of folic acid (FA) to the biologically active 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF)
is necessary for the deposition of folate in the egg. A study was conducted to compare egg …

The absorption of folic acid in the intestine is the major factor that determines the level of
folate in the bloodstream and eventually the amount of folate that is transferred into eggs …

In this study, a dose-response relationship between egg folate content and dietary folic acid
content was observed. Folic acid supplementation did not affect egg quality or the …

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of folic acid (FA) on performance, egg quality
and yolk 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) content. A total of 384 Hy-line W36 strain hens …

Different aspects of folic acid (FA) transport in the intestine of the laying hen have been
characterized. Less is known about the adaptive response of this process to a dietary …

There are few good sources of natural food folates apart from green leafy vegetables and
these may have a limited potential to increase folate status because of substantial losses …
