WORLD EGG DAY OCTOBER 12!!!
WORLD EGG DAY IS CELEBRATED 12TH OCTOBER EVERY YEAR
The international egg community celebrating World Egg
Day on the Friday 12thOctober 2018. The industry’s global
campaign will focus on the crucial role that eggs play throughout our lives –
as a source of the highest quality protein.
FULFILLING EVERY REQUIREMENT
Promoting good health and wellbeing are currently key priorities on the
international agenda. Leading international organisations and governmental
policy makers are addressing how dietary and nutritional standards of
populations in both developed and developing nations can be improved. Eggs
offer an affordable and sustainable solution to help overcome these serious challenges.
This climate of concern around health issues presents the egg industry with an
unrivalled opportunity to share the numerous benefits that eggs provide during
each stage of human development from 0 to 100+.
WITH YOU ON LIFE’S JOURNEY
Ogun state Poultry Farmers On World Egg Day, we want to generate
targeted messages highlighting specific benefits for key consumer groups – from
before birth, during the early years, adulthood and into later life. However
young or old you are eggs can have a significant impact as a valuable source of
essential protein. By working together collectively, through a range of
communication channels, dedicated events and particularly through social media
networks, we aim to reach an even greater audience this year.”
THE KEY LIFE
STAGES:
·
BEFORE BIRTH
Proteins are the building blocks of life and it’s
never too soon to benefit from the positive power of eggs. Full of essential
nutrients, eggs contribute to healthy foetal development. This is an important
message to convey to prospective parents to ensure each unborn child has the
very best possible start in life – no matter where they are, or into what
circumstances they are born.
CHILD’S PLAY
A high quality source of protein is vital, particularly in childhood.
Every cell in the human body contains protein which
we need in our diets to generate new cells.
Packed full of goodness, eggs provide a complete food solution that supports
healthy brain development in young children and improves concentration levels
at school.
·
WORKING HARD
Into adulthood, eggs remain an essential dietary partner. Not only do
eggs build protein and repair tissue, they are also essential for making
enzymes and hormones. Having an egg rich diet can also help you stay feeling
fuller for longer and be an important ally in effective weight management.
·
HEALTHIER FOR LONGER
Essential for bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood, egg protein
helps to repair body tissue as we grow older. During the later years, eggs
continue to deliver substantial benefits and older people can significantly
improve their health by increasing their egg consumption.
ZERO HUNGER
It’s estimated that malnutrition is a stark reality for one billion
people. Eggs have the potential to eliminate global hunger by providing a high
quality source of protein. Through the on going support of the egg industry,
the International Egg Foundation (IEF) continues to deliver life changing
projects in some of the most impoverished regions in the world. The work of the
IEF demonstrates the egg industry’s commitment to sustainable development and
eradicating food poverty.
THE EGG INDUSTRY
UNITES TO SPREAD THE WORD
Since its inception 23 years ago, World Egg Day continues to gain
momentum on the international stage. In 2017 over 40 countries participated in promoting
eggs. The global reach of last years’ combined activities engaged with an
audience of over 230 million. The rise of social media has made it possible to
effectively communicate with ever greater numbers of consumers and this year we
wish to build on the industry’s past successes.
By promoting ‘protein for life’, eggs can fulfil the nutritional
requirements of the global population. It’s a simple message to share and we
are encouraging all members of the egg industry to engage in supporting World Egg
Day on Friday 12th October.
