Table 6.

Yellow pigment deposition in the liver and fat pad represented by the b∗ score of the colorimeter measured at the end of grow out, 42 d of age, in female broilers.

Diet	Mean b∗ color score¹^,²
Diet	Liver	Fat pad
Orange corn	7.13^a	23.40^a
Yellow corn	5.18^b	17.81^b
White corn	4.21^b	10.39^c
Pooled SEM	0.43	0.35
P-value	0.0005	<0.0001

Pigment deposition is unitless; a higher number indicates greater pigment deposition. Scores are written as LS means with pooled SEM below each column. ^a-cMeans within a column lacking a common letter are different (P < 0.05).

N = 192; 32 birds/diet x litter treatment with 8 birds/replicate sampled.
