The Claim
In Silky Fowl hens, supplementation with dietary paprika extract containing 60 mg/kg carotenoids for 28 days is associated with a significant reduction in serum triglyceride levels, decreasing from 1549.9 mg/dL to 633.3 mg/dL, whereas no such effect is observed in Rhode Island Red hens, suggesting breed-specific differences in lipid-lowering responses to carotenoid supplementation.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Feeding Silky Fowl hens a paprika supplement for a month seems to lower their blood fat levels a lot, but the same doesn’t happen in Rhode Island Red hens — so the effect might depend on the chicken breed.

In Silky Fowl hens, increasing dietary paprika extract from 0 to 60 mg/kg carotenoids for 28 days is associated with a significant reduction in serum triglyceride levels, from 1549.9 mg/dL to 633.3 mg/dL, while no such effect is observed in Rhode Island Red hens, indicating breed-specific lipid-lowering responses to carotenoid supplementation.
