"Saya berharap ILDEX Indonesia 2013 dapat mempromosikan ayam dan telur sebagai konsumsi protein hewani yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan," kata Rusman Heriawan saat membuka ILDEX Indonesia 2013 di JIExpo Kemayoran Jakarta, Kamis (3/10).

Menurutnya, konsumsi daging ayam masyarakat Indonesia masih minim hanya sekitar 7,6 kg per kapita per tahun, dan konsumsi telur hanya 90 butir per kapita per tahun.
"Artinya orang Indonesia makan telur setiap 4 hari sekali. Sangat minim," kata Rusman Heriawan.
Dia menambahkan, daging ayam dan telur merupakan sumber hewan protein hewani yang bermutu tinggi yang perlu dikonsumsi oleh anak-anak maupun orang dewasa agar menjadi cerdas, sehat, tumbuh secara normal dan produktif.
Kendati begitu, kata Rusman, keunggulan daging ayam dan telur belum sepenuhnya diketahui oleh masyarakat karena masih terbelenggu stigma negatif bahwa ada penggunaan hormon pada pertumbuhan ayam broiler, telur sumber kolesterol jahat, telur penyebab bisul dan sebagainya yang sebenarnya itu salah kaprah.
