The Claim

Supplementing the diet of pasture-raised hens with grass-fed beef suet and liver increases the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content in egg yolks by five times compared to hens fed conventional corn-soy diets, resulting in CLA levels of approximately 0.05 grams per 100 grams of fresh yolk.

In plain English

If you feed pasture-raised chickens extra grass-fed beef fat and liver, their egg yolks end up with five times more 'good fat' called CLA — about 0.05 grams in every 100 grams of yolk — compared to eggs from chickens on regular feed.

  1. Study: Fatty Acid and Antioxidant Profile of Eggs from Pasture-Raised Hens Fed a Corn- and Soy-Free Diet and Supplemented with Grass-Fed Beef Suet and Liver

    The study shows that feeding hens grass-fed beef fat and liver makes their egg yolks have five times more of a healthy fat called CLA, which matches the main point of the claim.
