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....

The present study investigated the feasibility of ostrich oil utilizing as a promising vehicle for improved skin permeation of sinomenine with reference to vaseline matrix containing different content of chemical enhancers. The fatty acid composition of ostrich oil was analyzed by GC-MS. Penetration enhancing potential of ostrich oil on permeation of sinomenine across rat abdominal skin in vitr...

this experiment was conducted to determine the ame, amen, tme and tmen of beet pulp fed to male ostriches at  their 90 d of age. different levels of beet pulp (0, 15, 30 and 40%) were fed through replacements in the basal diet. for a determination of ame and amen using marker method, beet pulp was replaced in the basal diet at 40%. a number of 16 vs. 8 ostrich chicks were employed in each of th...

this experiment was conducted to determine the ame, amen, tme and tmen of alfalfa meal for male ostrich at 90 d of age. experiment was done as a completely randomized design with 5 treatments of 4 replicate and 4 chicks each. different levels of alfalfa meal (0, 15, 30 and 40%) were replaced to the basal diet. ame and amen were determined via chromic oxid marker and total collection methods. th...

the effects of a multi enzyme were evaluated on performance and nutrient digestibility in african domesticated ostrich at 14 months ages. there were three treatments as; common diet (1), common diet plus multi enzyme (0.350 gkg -1) (2) and common diet plus multi enzyme (0.700 gkg -1) (3). 18 ostrich were used in this experiment (6 birds per treatment). there was significant effect of enzyme sup...

Previous studies revealed that thymus is a targeted immune organ in malnutrition, and high-boron stress is harmful for immune organs. African ostrich is the living fossil of ancient birds and the food animals in modern life. There is no report about the effect of boron intake on thymus of ostrich. The purpose of present study was to evaluate the effect of excessive boron stress on ostrich thymu...

A total of 2160 images of candled, incubated ostrich eggs were digitized to determine the percentage of egg volume occupied by the air cell at different stages of incubation. The air cell on average occupied 2.5% of the volume of fresh eggs. For eggs that hatched successfully, this volume increased to an average of 24.4% at 41 days of incubation, just prior to hatching. Air cell volume at 29 da...
