The document discusses the poultry industry in Bangladesh and eggs. It notes that poultry is important for protein and nutrition in Bangladesh. The industry has grown exponentially since 1995 and involves over 100,000 farms. It contributes one third to the agricultural GDP. There is a large deficit in meat and egg consumption compared to requirements. The document examines differences between brown and white eggs and local versus farm eggs, finding no nutritional difference. It also discusses yolk color, organic versus regular eggs, eggs and heart disease, and concludes by noting the importance of the poultry industry and need for organized farmers and policy implementation.

- 3. Poultry is one of the most important sectors of agriculture in Bangladesh for maintaining the need of protein and nutrition. It was in 1995 that the poultry industry started in an organized manner in Bangladesh. In just 20 years the industry has seen exponential growth. Investment in the sector stands at about 25 thousand crore taka. Its growth rate is about 25%. There are over a hundred thousand poultry farms, small and large, across the country, eleven grandparent stock farms, 145 parent stock farms and hatcheries, and 60 or 70 poultry feed mills. About 5.5 million people are involved, directly and indirectly, with the industry and approximately 50% of them are women. A large section of the marginalised rural people earns their living through this industry. Of the 18.6% of the GDP which comes from the agricultural sector, one third is from the poultry industry. Now it is seen that small scale poultry production contributes a lot in the total industry. We have to protect it and make bigger to catch the overseas market. Introduction

- 6. The only real difference between brown and white eggs that you might know as a matter of fact is that brown eggs are more expensive than the white ones. Their nutritional profile, quality and type is all hearsay. White eggs are laid by white-feathered chickens with white or light coloured earlobes while the brown ones are laid by brown-feathered chickens with red earlobes. You would be correct to assume that there are more white eggs in the market than brown ones but that's because breeding and raising white-feathered chickens is much cheaper. Since they aren't fed as much as their brown counterparts. The reason brown eggs cost more is because they come from chickens that have a big appetite! And also because they're a bit bigger in size. These brown feathered chickens eat more and hence are expensive to keep. A lot of research has been done to identify the difference between brown and white eggs in terms of nutritional value but so far the majority seems to believe that there isn't any. Dr.Gargi Sharma, weight-management expert believes that brown eggs are healthier than white egg and for those looking to get their fair share of protein and and at the same time wanting to keep in check things like cholesterol and calories, brown eggs are a better option. However, nutritionist Niharika Ahluwalia says, "There is no real difference between brown and white eggs in terms of nutritional value. But these days brown eggs are associated with being organic which might make them seem a healthier choice. But if the chicken was fed regular food then the eggs wouldn't be organic." Are Brown Eggs Healthier Than White Eggs
- 7. Local eggs Known as ‘’Deshi’’ Egg. There are a wrong thinking in our country people that is local eggs are more valuable than farm egg. For that deshi egg price are higher about 10tk where farm eggs are 8tk. In the market eggs of indigenous chicken fetch higher price per unit than the farm supplied eggs as a segment of consumers consider Deshi egg as more tasty and nutritious. But there is no scientific support on this point. Size and type of eggs have no different impact on the taste. But volume of nutrient contents will vary with size. Turns out that egg yolk colour is really just an indicator of the hen's diet! If they eat more yellow-orange carotenoids, or natural pigments, it affects and changes the yolk's colour. In fact, while artificial colour additives are not allowed to be added to chicken feed, naturally pigmented substances like marigold flowers are sometimes added to feed to enhance yolk colour.

- 8. These organic eggs are produced from chickens that are fed an organically grown, multi-grain diet and have access to the outdoor weather permitting. To be considered organic, the grains are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. Organic eggs are equally nutritious as regular eggs and provide an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals. The only exception to this nutrient rule would be omega-3 fats; while pasture raised eggs can have slightly more than conventionally raised eggs, the real differences are minimal – to use eggs as a significant source of omega-3 fats, you need to choose omega-3 fortified eggs. Simply put, eggs are nutritious and in many ways can be considered nature’s perfect food. Eggs are an affordable and easy way to provide quality nutrition to you and your family providing an excellent source of protein and 14 vitamins, and minerals. In here Organic eggs provide all nutritious equally but regular eggs not. For that’s organic eggs are more nutritious than regular eggs. A solid body of research shows that for most people, cholesterol in food has a much smaller effect on blood levels of total cholesterol and harmful LDL cholesterol than does the mix of fats in the diet. Recent research has shown that moderate egg consumption—up to one a day—does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals (1, 2) and can be part of a healthy diet.

People who have difficulty controlling their total and LDL cholesterol may want to be cautious about eating egg yolks and instead choose foods made with egg whites. The same is true for people with diabetes. In the Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, heart disease risk was increased among men and women with diabetes who ate one or more eggs a day. (1) For people who have diabetes and heart disease, it is best to limit egg consumption to no more than three yolks per week. This research doesn’t give the green light to daily three-egg omelets. While a 2008 report from the ongoing Physicians’ Health Study supports the idea that eating an egg a day is generally safe for the heart, it also suggests that going much beyond that could increase the risk for heart failure later in life. (3) You also need to pay attention to the “trimmings” that come with your eggs. To your cardiovascular system, scrambled eggs, salsa, and a whole wheat English muffin are a far different meal than scrambled eggs with cheese, sausages, home fries, and white toast. The study concluded that backyard poultry farmers were low producers and chicken and duck were found to be the most common poultry species reared by the farmers. Poultry industry is one of the important industries in Bangladesh in terms of employment avenue and source of protein supply at cheaper price for the nation. All categories of stakeholders should participate in policy formulation for the development of the poultry industry. Policy should be based on reliable and comprehensive field data. For the protection of national interest the government should be more active in implementation of poultry development policy in the country. Poultry farmers should be organized into group and follow the scientific management system. Conclusion
