There are several points that should be taken into account for the construction of water troughs and feed troughs for ostriches. 1- The height and dimensions of the feed trough should be comfortable for the bird. For this purpose, feed troughs with different dimensions should be made for different ages of productive ostriches. A height of about 60 cm is desirable, and for chickens, a height of about 20 cm. It should be noted that if the container of an adult bird is on the ground, the food will go up. Because the food of ostriches is in the form of flour, and both the wind takes a part of it and the bird itself pours a part of it on the ground. 2-Form The dish is very important because the type of eating of ostriches is different from other birds. Ostriches have a big beak and they fill their beak with food in the form of a spoon, so the minimum opening of the dish for an adult bird is about 40 centimeters. 3- Water and grain bowl It should be in a way that can be washed and disinfected. 4- The location of the grain container should be a place that is not exposed to rain or wind. On the other hand, it is better for the breeder to have at least 6 meters distance between the water container and the grain container. and be at least 2 meters away for chickens. It is for this reason that the bird goes to the water after eating food, so there must be a distance so that the food has gone down the long neck of the ostrich and the food does not return to the water container.
According to the explanations that have been said, different containers can be made, but the containers that we suggest are made with plastic barrels. Plastic barrels are light and can be easily washed. On the other hand, they are very cheap and easily damaged. can be replaced
