The Ostrich: Biology, Production and Health

by Denis C Deeming
August 1999

The ostrich is a relatively new agricultural animal in many parts of the world, and even in South Africa it was domesticated only a little over a century ago. Recently however there has been a huge growth in interest in ostrich farming, and production of ostriches for low-fat meat and leather is now a reality in many parts of the world.

This book is the first comprehensive volume to review the world scientific literature on ostrich biology, production and health.

Written by leading authors from South Africa, Europe, Israel and the USA
Deals with the ostrich in farmed and natural environments
Essential reading for those interested in avian and poultry science
