Comparison of ostrich and cow!
Ostriches produce 40 to 60 chicks per year, while the production of cattle is one head per year. Half an acre of land is needed to raise a pair of fully mature ostriches, which is about one-fifth of the land needed to raise cattle.
The ostrich lives up to 50, 60 or 70 years and during this period it reproduces for at least 40 years, while the cow stops reproducing at the age of 10 to 11 years.
Meat production in ostriches is nearly 4 times that of beef production. The cow’s pregnancy period is 9 months, while the egg-to-chicken period is 42 days. The strength of ostrich leather is 3 times the strength of cow leather. The leather obtained from each ostrich is 13 to 20 square feet.
About 30 ostriches are produced from a pair of ostriches and their weight is about 90 to 110 kg in one year.
The annual income of an ostrich raised in the right conditions is about 1000 dollars. The amount of 1 to 2 kg of hay is enough to feed an adult ostrich daily. Ostriches start laying eggs at the age of 18 to 24 months.
Another characteristic of ostrich meat is that its protein content is high like beef, but its calorie and carbohydrate content is less, its fat and cholesterol content is less than chicken meat, and it is similar to beef in terms of quality and taste.
