Male Hubbard chickens were fed on a diet supplemented with canthaxanthin. The carotenoid was chemically unmodified during its absorption of distribution. Pigment was preferentially stored in the skin of legs. The percent distribution of carotenoid in the different organs did not vary with the administered dose or during the treatment. Digestibility, expressed as the ratio absorbed: ingested pigment, was maximal in the first day, and then decreased. Digestibility was dependent on the animal body weight.
雄性哈伯德鸡被喂食添加了角黄素的饲料。这种类胡萝卜素在吸收和分布过程中未发生化学修饰。色素优先储存在腿部皮肤中。不同器官中类胡萝卜素的分布百分比不会因给药剂量或治疗过程而变化。以吸收的色素与摄入的色素之比表示的消化率在第一天最高，然后下降。消化率取决于动物体重。
