In the Ancient World Ostrich was tamed for its plentiful Meat and Egg production. Its Egg production could reach up to 50-60 eggs in one season for Black Collar ostrich.
Ostrich Breeding is considered as a project with Economic Feasibility that adds a new activity to the development of Animal Resources. Hindustan Animal Feeds (HAF) paid great attention to the Ostrich Feeding by producing Feeds with special requirements that are distinguished with High Quality and are Composed of Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Minerals, Vitamins and Fibers in addition to the other benefits and advantages that characterized HAF. The Company produces various types of feeds that are reliable as a Balanced Feed for Ostrich in accordance with the requirements of different stages and the purpose of Breeding.
Ostrich farms that follow the modern extensive breeding system have increased lately for the following reasons:
- Ostrich is a big bird that provides a large amount of Meat.
- Ostrich meat is distinguished for its low Fat and Cholesterol.
- Ostrich meat is distinguished for its high Protein and Iron.
- Ostrich skin is one of the most expensive and High Quality Skins.
- Ostrich feathers are of the highest quality.
- The ease of breeding in closed and opened areas.
For all this HAF Developed and Produced Ostrich Feed in Mesh Form
Feed types varied according to the different stages of the bird’s growth (its age) and production:
- Pre-starter ostrich feed: from the age of one week to one month code O–1123. it is characterized by its high protein level 23% and low fiber level; around 3%. It is given at rate of 350 gm daily.
- Starter ostrich feed: from age of one month to 4 months code NO. O-0222 with protein level of 22% and low fiber level of 4%. It is given at rate of 450 gm daily.
- Grown ostrich feed phase one: from age of 2 months to 4 months code O – 1220with protein level of 20% and fiber level of 10%. Given at rate of 1.200 kg daily.
- Grown ostrich feed phase two: from age of 4 months to 8 months code NO. O-0917 with protein level of 17% and fiber level of 10%. It is given at rate of 1.650 kg daily.
- Grown ostrich feed phase three: from age of 8 months to 18 months code NO. O-0415 with protein level of 15% and fiber level of 10%. It is given at rate of 2.025 kg daily.

From all the above, it is clear that proper nutrition is the base and meter that defines the success of breeding and to produce strong illness free birds. In addition to high growth levels and production of high quality meat and skin that would participate in poultry production and in bridging the gap in animal protein shortage.
