How to Improve Hatchability in Ostrich Farming
(1) Scientific feeding and management 1. Full-price balanced nutrition. The nutritional level of ostriches is a fundamental factor affecting hatchability. During the breeding period, the metabolizable energy requirement in ostrich feed is 11.3 kJ/kg, crude fat should be limited to 6%-8%; protein should be 18%-24%, while paying attention to the supply of several amino acids (%): arginine 1.04, lysine 0.86, methionine + cystine 0.73, phenylalanine 0.95, valine 1.02; the suitable crude fiber content is 10%, calcium 4%-4.5%, available phosphorus 0.4%, sodium 0.3%, magnesium 0.25%, vitamin E 80 IU/kg. Attention should be paid to the quality of green feed, with appropriate supplementation of pantothenic acid and other trace elements. Research has found that during the breeding season, adult ostriches fed a diet with low energy, high protein and high fiber, and with meat-and-bone meal and blood meal replacing fish meal, can achieve higher hatchability.

What causes leg edema in young ostriches? What you need to know about farming ostriches
Due to their physiological structure, ostriches have two toes; the inner toe mainly bears the weight, while the outer toe helps maintain balance. The legs support the entire body through the hock joint, and there is no muscle tissue around the hock joint, so dislocations and joint swelling are prone to occur in the early stage. For dislocations, manual

Ostrich Farming Techniques: Key Points for the Feeding and Management of Breeding Ostriches
(1) Feed: Artificially raised breeding ostriches should be given a balanced daily ration according to the nutritional requirements of breeding ostriches. Feed is usually formulated according to the breeding ostrich's requirements for calcium and phosphorus (female ostriches have very high calcium and phosphorus requirements during the laying period). Breeding ostriches are most prone to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins and trace elements such as iodine, iron and zinc. However, feed high in fat should not be given in excess, because ostriches have no gallbladder and therefore a poor ability to absorb fat. In particular, the energy supply must not be too much, to prevent breeding ostriches from becoming obese and gaining weight, which leads to a drop in the laying rate or even a stop in laying.

Four Essential Management Points for Ostrich Farming
1. Site selection and pen design. Site selection for a new ostrich farm is very important. Choose a location with higher terrain, convenient drainage, ample sunlight and good ventilation, and with sandy soil or sandy loam as the best soil type. This is because sandy soil or sandy loam has more capillary pores, good air and water permeability, low water-holding capacity, does not become excessively muddy after rain, and is easy to keep dry. The farm area must be able to provide an adequate and clean supply of drinking water. The surrounding environment is also an important factor to consider when choosing a site. Ostriches are especially sensitive to stimulation from their surroundings and are easily startled and prone to stress responses. Therefore, the environment around the ostrich farm should be quiet. It is best to plant greenery around the farm area so that the ostriches live in an environment close to nature, thereby better realizing their production potential.
