HI

I would suggest please read the following book How To Start a Successful Ostrich Farm by Alan B. Stables.

Added to the high returns the operational advantages found are :

i.The bird can be reared in paddock alongwith sheep, goat and cattle.

ii.The birds need no dipping, drenching, milking and shearing.

iii.The adaptability of the bird is equally high on annual and perennial pastures or scrub.

iv.The bird can be reared both in hot and freezing temperatures.

v.The bird has shown high sustainability in irrigated as well as rainfed farming environments.

vi.There is virtually no waste products in the bird.

vii.The size of the farm is not a limiting factor.

viii.The added value segments all along the products is very high.

The limiting factors that can be prudently managed are :

i.High capital investments for setting up of the farms.

ii.The markets for meat and its byproducts are not easily accessible.

iii.The high penalties for slaughtering older birds (20 months and above) in the European countries.

iv.The birds are potential and vulnerable for avian disorders particularly for Newcastle disease.
