A high-level continuing education program for veterinarians and animal production specialists enables optimum training and field support of farmers and ensures the sustainable production of safe and nutritious eggs. Investment in consumer education is also needed to grow local demand. A better appreciation of the nutritional benefits of shell eggs will then allow for the promotion of more value-added eggs and expand the market for eggs in Africa.
