The present invention relates to a process for producing eggs with low
cholesterol level. Different concentrations of fermented red mold rice
are added to hens feeds. The fermented red mold rice contains Monacolin
K, which has an effect on reducing cholesterol level. The cholesterol
level in eggs produced by the present process is much lower than that in
eggs produced by the prior art process. Furthermore, the serum
triglyceride of hens is reduced. People are paying more attention to
health, thus lowering consumption of high cholesterol food. Since
cholesterol in eggs accounts for more than 50% of daily take-up,
consumption of egg can hardly increase. Therefore, low cholesterol eggs
can not only be beneficial to the public's health, but also bears
business advantage.
