With food security and nutrition so much in the spotlight, Living Land takes a closer look at eggs and egg production.
First up we interview Sheila Mtshali, a leading nutritionist, who provides more details about one of nature’s most nutritional wonder foods. Then the crew heads for an egg producing farm called Ingwe Mpisi in Nigel, Gauteng. We learn that commercial egg production can include intensive battery egg laying in specially designed henhouses, or the hens may be placed in a semi-intensive, free-range environment.
These farmers show us exactly what is required to produce high quality eggs for a demanding consumer market. Finally, we travel to Johannesburg where we speak to Moses Modise of the SA Poultry Association. He explains how modern egg production involves advanced techniques that require expert management, the right equipment and adherence to rules and regulations
