How to Prevent and Treat White Muscle Disease in Farmed Ostriches? A Detailed Guide to Practical Methods
White muscle disease, also known as myositis or muscular dystrophy, is a degenerative muscle disease; in essence, it is one of the syndromes of widespread tissue damage caused by nutritional and metabolic disorders (including muscular dystrophy, hepatic dystrophy and steatitis, etc.). This disease occurs in poultry;

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.
