The relationship between ostrich digestive system health and probiotic consumption:
More than 80% of the costs related to the ostrich breeding industry are related to feed. So the health of the digestive system is the priority.
In order to get the highest efficiency from the food we consume, we need a healthy and efficient digestive system.
Ostrich, unlike broiler chicken, still does not have a high industrial productivity due to its lack of domestication and the very limited breeding done on it. Unless the large investment made in the poultry industry is implemented in the ostrich industry, the implementation of which depends on time and spending a lot of money.
The highest efficiency in the ostrich industry is difficult to achieve for several reasons:
One of these reasons is the length of the digestive tube and the absence of a gall bladder, and another reason is the abundance of food at the disposal of this bird, which causes problems such as diarrhea and constipation as well as skeletal problems in this bird.
Probiotics are actually useful bacteria of the digestive system, which are formulated industrially and with high technical knowledge by knowledge-based companies active in the industry and are provided to the breeders of the industry.
Probiotics are a solution to control multiple digestive problems and strengthen the immune system in birds, which have very beneficial effects on preventing yolk sac infection in broiler chickens, as well as standardizing the digestive system and preventing constipation and diarrhea.
The consumption of ostrich probiotics is very limited and is not considered a high number for companies producing probiotics
As a veterinarian and active in the breeding industry, I have used probiotic products as smart products in the industry and by using them to reduce production costs, reduce antibiotic consumption, prevent digestive problems such as diarrhea and constipation, bird freshness and the effects I have found these products very useful
The hardworking breeders of this industry request you to consider probiotics as an important item in the ostrich industry and take these products seriously.
Due to the limited time I have at my disposal and I spend a lot of energy on industrial poultry and industrial livestock, however, I will try to put some materials in this group for you in relation to probiotics and their effect on breeding ostriches. I want to take it off your shoulders and help you dear ones in this industry
