Ostrich farming, as an economic activity, has considerable economic benefits. Generally speaking, 10 to 12 months of breeding ostrich weight up to 200 pounds, this is the golden period of sales. If you choose to sell the meat, the price per catty is about 40 yuan, the value of an ostrich's meat can be about 12,000 yuan, plus its value of about 800 yuan of skin, the total return of up to 12,800 yuan. After cost considerations, if the farming cost is calculated at $1,700, the net profit of an ostrich is about $11,100, which is calculated purely on the basis of the profit from meat sales. However, for individual farmers, it may be more difficult to sell meat directly, and in most cases they will choose to wholesale adult ostriches to recyclers, in which case a year's worth of farmed ostriches can be sold for 3,500 yuan, which means a net return of about 1,800 yuan per ostrich.

The sales channels for ostriches are mainly concentrated in the catering industry and large supermarkets, especially in restaurants and high-end shopping malls, where they are favored as specialty ingredients. Therefore, whether through retail or wholesale, the profit potential of ostrich farming should not be underestimated. However, market fluctuations and business strategies can also affect actual returns, and investors need to fully assess these factors when considering ostrich farming. Overall, ostrich farming has good economic benefits under reasonable business and market strategies.
