Background: The African ostrich is the largest herbivorous bird in world, which has high economic value. However, brooding period of long. During this period, various organs body are not fully developed, resistance low and it easy to get sick, thus affecting growth development. Therefore, great significance enhance digestion absorption capacity chicks improve its speed shortening incubation ost...

Objective- To investigate histological structure of Ostrich skin was done. Ostrich leathers are of exotic leather types, which are in increasing demand due to their outstanding natural gain patterns formed by large feather follicles on the leather surface. Animals-Ten mature ostriches were selected from ostrich breeding center in Jupar, Kerman, Iran, all of which were in good shape and healthy ...

BACKGROUND The focus of management in many complex systems is shifting towards facilitation, adaptation, building resilience, and reducing vulnerability. Resilience management requires the development and application of general heuristics and methods for tracking changes in both resilience and vulnerability. We explored the emergence of vulnerability in the South African domestic ostrich indust...

Coccidia oocysts were demonstrated in the faeces of 53 (about 34%) of 156 apparently healthy ostrich chicks. Young chicks had the highest proportion of infestation while those more than 9 weeks old had no oocysts at all in their faeces. These coccidia may be considered no pathogenic since the infected chicks grew normally without any evidence of diarrhoea.

due to the high economic value of ostrich and the farming industry to further promote increased productivity, knowledge in different fields of science, including detailed knowledge of tissue structures vital organs from this animal looks. ostrich’s eye is the cornea closest to the human eye because of the same anatomical features of the human cornea, corneal transplantation can be used ostrich....
