There are two main types of feed for green fodder ostriches, one is green feed, and the other is mixed feed. Ostrich feed is dominated by green feed, which accounts for about 70% of all diets. Adult ostriches need 2.5-5 kg ​​of green feed each day. Green and green feed requires fresh, non-rot, and pesticide-free soils that are washed without soil. Chopped before feeding, the length of 0.5-3 cm, free access to the slot. Although ostriches can digest crude fiber, straw and highly lignified roughage are not only of low utilization rate, but also easily cause glandular and gastric obstruction. Therefore, ostriches require more roughage. Legume grasses, grasses and various vegetables are generally used as feed for ostriches. Including alfalfa, red clover, Stylofolia, grassy, ​​royal grass, sweet potato vine, bitter leeks, carrots, ryegrass, Mexican corn, eucalyptus leaves and so on. In the actual feeding of a variety of green feed with a reasonable mix, its feeding better (Table 4-3). The following plants are toxic to ostriches: azaleas, black locust, green-green algae, ramie, mandala, delphinium, foxglove, laburnum, celery, Indian turnip, amaranth, and leguminous grass , orange, aconite, solanum, oak, oleander, lentils and other plants.
Preparation of concentrate feed The raw material used for ostrich concentrate feed is similar to that of pigs and chickens. The most important feature is that it can be used in large quantities. With the fine feed is best made into pellet feed, ostrich like to eat but also reduce waste, particle size to 6-8 mm is appropriate.
(1) Concentrated material for young ostriches The crude protein content in the mixture of 1-3 month old chicks is between 21% and 22%. If you simply feed mixed concentrates containing high protein, you will soon have leg problems. occur. Its requirements for calcium, phosphorus and other mineral elements are much higher than those of chicks and ducks. Some calcium-containing feeds such as shell powder, calcium carbonate, and calcium hydrogen phosphate may be added to the feed. If chicks are fed with young chickens, 2% to 2.5% of bone powder should be added to prevent leg diseases.
Recommended feed formula: corn 56%, wheat 6%, soybean meal 12%, bran 3%, imported fish meal 6%, alfalfa meal 10%, salt 0.4%, calcium bicarbonate 1.8%, shell powder 0.8%, bone meal 3%, methionine 0.4%, lysine 0.4%, multivitamin 0.1%, trace element 0.1%. The amount of daily feeding: 120 grams from 1 to 30 days, 120 to 600 grams from 31 to 60 days, and 600 to 700 grams from 61 to 90 days.
(2) Preparation of ostrich concentrates during the breeding period The ostrich breeding period of more than 3 months should be fed during the growth period. The recommended crude protein content is 16%-17%. At the same time, attention should be paid to the supplementation of calcium and phosphorus. During the breeding period, the calcium and phosphorus requirements of ostriches are 30% to 40% higher than those of growing birds.
Recommended feed formula: corn 46%, wheat 6%, soybean meal 8%, bran 10%, imported fish meal 4%, alfalfa meal 20%, salt 0.4%, calcium hydrogen phosphate 2%, shell powder 0.5%, bone meal 2.5% , 0.2% methionine, 0.2% lysine, 0.1% multivitamin, 0.1% trace element. The daily feeding amount is: 0.8-1.4 kg for 4-7 months and 1.4-1.9 kg for 7-12 months.
(3) Production of ostrich concentrates during the laying period The key to feeding ostriches during the laying period is the supply of balanced rations. In particular, the supply of energy should not be excessive, and metabolic energy should be 10.5 megajoules per kilogram. Otherwise, the female ostrich will become obese, resulting in a significant drop in production or discontinue production. The crude protein content in concentrates is 18%. The contents of calcium and available phosphorus were 3% and 1%, respectively. Lysine and methionine + cystine were 0.90% and 0.75%, respectively.
The amount of vitamins and trace elements required for laying ostriches differs significantly from that of breeders. The ostrich vitamin is similar to the breeder's vitamin E, pantothenic acid, and biotin. The vitamin A is 6000 international units/kg higher than the breeder's chicken, the vitamin D is 1000 IU/kg higher than the breeder's chicken, and the vitamin B1 is 1.2 mg higher than the breeder's. /kg, vitamin B2 was 2.2 mg/kg higher than that of breeders, niacin was 20 mg/kg higher than breeders, and choline was 300 mg/kg higher than breeders. The iron, zinc, and iodine needed are also higher than those of breeder chickens, but the demand for copper is lower than that of breeders. Therefore, it is unscientific to use multi-dimensional and trace element additives for breeders, and conditional farms should be prepared separately.
Recommended feed formula: corn 44%, wheat 5%, soybean meal 12%, bran 5%, imported fish meal 7%, alfalfa meal 20%, salt 0.4%, calcium hydrogen phosphate 2%, shell powder 0.6% , bone meal 3.3%, methionine 0.25%, lysine 0.25%, multi-dimensional 0.1%, trace element 0.1%.
Ostrich feed sources:
Plant feeds include alfalfa, red clover, Stylofolia, elephant grass, royal grass, sweet potato cane, bitter chives, carrots, ryegrass, Mexican corn, eucalyptus leaves, and the like.
Formulated feed varieties: corn, wheat, soybean meal, bran, imported fish meal, alfalfa meal, salt, calcium bicarbonate, shell powder, bone meal, methionine, lysine, vitamins, trace elements.

Formulated feed varieties: corn, wheat, soybean meal, bran, imported fish meal, alfalfa meal, salt, calcium bicarbonate, shell powder, bone meal, methionine, lysine, vitamins, trace elements.
The so-called plant-based is the substitution of plant protein for animal protein food grade applications. Plant-based ingredients protein products come from plants such as soy, wheat and peas. That is pea protein powder, soy protein powder, pumpkin protein and so on. The plant protein application category includes protein drinks, dairy substitutes, meat substitutes, protein bars, nutritional supplements, processed meat, poultry and seafood, baking, food and sports nutrition products. Plant protein applications enhance the nutritional and functional properties of products, such as texture, emulsifying properties, solubility, stability and adhesion.
