OmegaPro
Less than 20% of the world’s population have sufficient Omega-3 levels
A world-first clinical trial delivered by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, on behalf of Devenish, has proven that the regular consumption of naturally enriched omega-3 chicken and eggs is likely to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, dementia and depression.

By enriching the birds' diet with OmegaPro, the meat and eggs become naturally enriched with omega-3 PUFA and the associated nutritional benefits are then passed onto the consumer.
Offering birds a natural and sustainable source of Omega-3 PUFAs is good for the bird and good for the consumer. Taste panel studies have shown that omega-3 enriched chicken meat tastes as good, if not better than conventional chicken.
Devenish are also focusing our research efforts on producing sustainable and nutrient rich pork, beef and milk, with scientifically proven health claims.
How is OmegaPro used?
OmegaPro can be fed in diets up to 15%, to achieve the desired level of Omega-3 fatty acids.
