There are two main kinds of ostrich feed, one is green feed and the other is mixed concentrate feed.

Ostrich feed is mainly green feed, accounting for about 70% of the total diet, and adult ostriches need 2.5 ~ 5 kg of green feed every day. Green feed needs to be fresh. No decay. No pesticide pollution, no soil for washing. Chop before feeding, the length is 0.5 ~ 3.

Cm, free to feed in the trough.

Although ostriches can digest crude fiber, the utilization rate of straw and high lignified coarse feed is not only low, but also easy to cause adenogastric obstruction. So ostriches have higher requirements for roughage.

Generally, leguminous forage should be used. Gramineae grass and various vegetables are used as ostrich feed. Including alfalfa. Red clover. Stylosanthes likes grass. Yellow grass, sweet potato vines, small bitter carrots. Ryegrass, Mexican corn. Sophora japonica leaves, etc. In actual feeding

If all kinds of green feed are reasonably matched, the feeding effect will be better.

Ostrich concentrate feed and raw materials for pigs. Similar to chicken, the biggest feature is that you can use a lot of grass powder. It is best to use concentrated feed as pellet feed, which ostriches love to eat and reduce waste. The pellet size is 6 ~ 8 mm.
