Selection of breeding birds. Breeding ostrich, breeding bird selection is very important. First of all, we should observe the health condition of the ostrich, choose the ostrich without disability and with stable gait for breeding; secondly, we should observe the feeding situation of the breeding birds, the healthy ostrich will take the initiative to eat; in addition, we should also observe the feces of the ostrich. The feces of healthy ostriches are dark green.2. Ostriches are protected animals, and breeders need to be introduced in long-distance transportation. On the way to transport the breeder, if it is in summer, pay attention to the prevention of heatstroke and cooling. You can choose to spray cold water, but not too much. In winter, rainproof and heat preservation measures should be taken. In addition, sufficient food should be prepared during transportation. Second, the breeding environment 1, ostrich farms should be chosen far away from villages and living areas, and the farms should be built in places with high terrain, convenient drainage, good ventilation and no shade. Areas such as sleeping area, sports area and rest area should be planned in the field. Ostriches are bigger and run faster, so the exercise area should be big enough to ensure that ostriches can run freely. The height of the door is controlled at about 1.5 meters, which is convenient for the ostrich to come in and out freely.2. The living environment of the ostrich should be warm and dry, and the ground should be clean and hygienic, dry and warm, otherwise it will be easy to be infected with coccidiosis. The light should be bright, especially in the nestling stage, so as not to affect the growth and development of the ostrich, in the ostrich grows up every day to provide it with all-weather natural light, in order to improve its immunity. Third, daily feeding 1, ostrich is a herbivorous bird, the feed is mainly green fresh feed and pellet feed. In case of insufficient food, green vegetables or hay can also be provided to ostriches. They should be provided with enough green fodder, fruits and vegetables, and clean water, and be careful not to mix in foreign objects such as wire and large stones.2. When feeding ostriches, pay attention to the quality of the feed. If the ostrich eats moldy feed, it will cause poisoning. Because ostriches eat a lot and are prone to overeating, it is necessary to feed them at regular intervals to promote their movement. The ostrich's drinking water should be clean and hygienic in order to reduce the occurrence of ostrich intestinal diseases.4. Daily management 1. The farm should be cleaned regularly to maintain cleanliness, spray disinfectant solution to kill various pathogens. It should meet the needs of daily feeding, drinking, exercise and rest, and maintain a clean and hygienic environment in the farm.2. Common diseases in ostriches are respiratory infections, gastric deposits and soft foot disease. Most of these diseases are caused by food spoilage or sudden changes in the environment. So before feeding the ostrich, carefully observe whether the food is moldy. Don't feed moldy food to the ostriches, and also avoid ostrich fights to avoid body inflammation. In addition, outsiders, especially those working in other poultry farms, should be refused to visit to prevent the invasion of germs.
