Summary: | <p align="justify">Utilization effect of cassava (<em>Manihot esculenta</em>) and potatoe (<em>Ipomoea batatas</em>) on pigmentation, carotenoids pull on egg yolk and performance yield hens. Eight diets (T1:without pigment, T2: commercial pigment, T3: cassava meal 15%, T4: cassava meal 30%, T5: sweet potato meal 15%, T6: sweet potato meal 30%, T7: cassava and sweet potato meal 15% each, T8: cassava and sweet potato meal 25% each) in a randomized design using four replicates of three hens each during seven experimental periods were evaluated. Diets were iso-energetics (2.9 kcal/g) and iso-proteis (14.5% CP). Carotenoid concentrations (UV-visible chromatography) had differences (P&lt;0.01) among diets. Pigmentation (Fan Roche) and carotenoid concentration in egg yoks to come from cassava and sweet potato diets did not show differences (P&gt;0.05) A comparison with egg yolk to come from test diets signiï¬cant differences (P&lt;0.01) were detected. Diet with commercial pigment showed the highest pigmentation and carotenoid concentration in egg yolk. The other hand, there saw not differences (P&gt;0.05). A comparison with egg yolk to come from test diets signiï¬cant differences (P&lt;0.01) were detected. Diet with commercial pigment showed the highest pigmentation and carotenoid concentration in egg yolk. The other hand, there saw not differences (P&gt;0.05) between egg yolk to come from diet without pigment and cassava and sweet potato diets.

Cantoxatin was found in egg yolk and diet with commercial pigment only. Its concentration reached to 65% in proï¬le carotenes. Lutein was the main carotenoid in egg yolk, while <img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/PIPE/Mis%20documentos/acta/Vol%2055%20No%203/7/images/vol%2055-3-ok_img_42.jpg" alt="" width="5" height="10" />-carotene was the highest in all diets. Egg yolk that come from cassava and sweet potato 15% diet, showed the highest Retinol Equivalent provitamin A. Type and component egg, don&uml;t showed differences (P&gt;0.05). There were differences (P&lt;0.01) in yield performance.</p><p align="justify"><strong>key words:</strong> <em>Manihot esculenta, Ipomoea batatas</em>, Carotenoids, egg yolk, vitamin A, meals.</p><br><p align="center">&nbsp;</p><p align="justify">Se evaluaron ocho dietas iso-energ&eacute;ticas (2.9 Kcal/g) e iso-proteicas (14.5% CP) [(Sin pigmento comercial (t1); pigmento comercial (t2); harina de yuca al 15% (t3); harina de yuca al 30% (t4); harina de batata al 15% (t5); harina de batata al 30% (t6); harina de yuca m&aacute;s harina de batata al 15% cada una (t7) y harina de yuca m&aacute;s harina de batata al 25% cada una (t8)] en un dise&ntilde;o completamente al azar utilizando cuatro r&eacute;plicas de tres gallinas cada una durante siete periodos experimentales.
