Until recently, the ostrich was a relatively uncommon agricultural animal in many parts of the world, even in South Africa where it was domesticated only a little over a century ago. Recently, however, ostrich farming has grown much more popular because of its healthy meat, and production of
slaughter ostriches is now a reality in many parts of the world. This book is the first wide-ranging volume to address this phenomenon and review the current scientific literature on ostrich biology, production, and health. It is written by leading authors from Europe, the United States, Israel, and
South Africa, and its topics range from the anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology of the ostrich to diseases and veterinary care. The Ostrich is a necessity for avian and poultry scientists and an ideal reference for all those intrigued by the growing interest in ostrich farming.

Summary: Not Helpful at All
Rating: 1

This was the most useless book I've ever bought. It had no real information about Ostriches that could be used by anyone interested in them. It was basically a survey of how Ostriches were raised around the world, but with no information on which techniques were good or bad, and nothing on what worked well or not. Anyone truly interested in knowing about how to raise ostriches appropriately would better invest their money and time to visit an ostrich breeding/raising farm and ask the farmer yourself. This book was a waste of money and time.
