Hy-Line and Blessman's "Two Eggs per Day" Shows Positive Results

Hy-Line, the Blessman International Team, and the children in the Two Eggs per Day project in South Africa recently celebrated World Egg Day. For more than 18 months, the children from the rural village have benefitted from two eggs alongside their Meals from the Heartland servings. “There has been a profound change in the students’ health and growth along with their capacity to focus and learn,” according to their teacher. The Hy-Line Silver Brown flock produces 1,000 eggs per day, which will increase with the new flock in 2025 by an additional 40%. 

“Our goal is to grow this outreach to provide egg protein to more children in our 11 feeding centers around the country,” stated Dr. Jim Blessman, Director of Blessman International. “With the positive results we are experiencing with this initial trial, we are convinced of the egg’s health benefits.”
