Free webinar: The role of eggs in meeting world food needs

Egg production is compatible with a wide variety of production systems ranging from village subsistence husbandry in underdeveloped nations to intensive commercial installations with full integration of components in industrialized countries. Compared to other livestock, eggs offer a competitive feed conversion ratio as determined using edible product, or amino acid availability as the denominator. Egg production can be implemented at a relatively low capital cost and can offer a return on investment or on capital employed compared to other monogastric livestock enterprises. Given market requirements, egg production can offer flexibility in presentation from graded shell form to further processed products including liquids, egg powder and convenience foods.
