Access to affordable and quality food is one of the key challenges of our time to feed a growing world population, to feed it adequately and to feed it using sustainable production practices. Many of the world’s key environmental problems today are related to agricultural practices. Agriculture and food industries are also uniquely positioned to make a constructive contribution towards efforts designed to address these problems. The new category of food products named functional foods have extended further interest which has been fuelled by increased media attention and an increasing number of consumers determined to take greater responsibility for their own health. The main objective of the present study is to explore Nannochloropsis gaditana as an effective dietary feed supplement for the production of fortified poultry eggs and meat with essential nutrients especially omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and pigments. The results shown that the retention of docosohexaenoic acid (DHA) in the albumin of experimental group hens fed with basal diet along with 10% processed N. gaditana was 699.67 mg whereas 430 mg (per 100 g of egg mass) in the control group hens fed only with the basal diet. Similarly, the quantity of DHA in the experimental group egg yolk was 599 mg while the same in the control group was 419.67 mg per 100 g of egg mass.
