Ostriches are most vulnerable in their first few months of life and proper nutrition is essential. Digestibility is particularly critical for young chicks, whose stomachs are small, immature, and highly sensitive to minerals and micro nutrients. Even with an excellent rearing environment and world-class husbandry techniques, ostriches' ability to thrive in the first three months is largely determined by their feed.

Feeding Directions: Feed free-choice to newly hatched ostriches until 2-3 months of age or a height of two feet, whichever comes first. Numerous feeders should be made available so newly hatched, disoriented chicks easily find feed. Ensure clean water is available at all times in vessels with openings too narrow for a chick to fall in. Each chick should consume approximately 100lbs of feed in its first three months of life. Additional feeding modification and/or supplementation may be necessary for specific environments. Contact us (Feeds@AmericanOstrichFarms.com) for assistance constructing an optimal complete feeding regimen.

Product Form and Packaging: 5/32" short-cut pellets; 50lb net weight paper sacks or 1-ton palletized totes.

Storage: Store in cool (below 80F), clean environment free of moisture, insects, rodents, and pests. Do not distribute feed with signs of mold or other contamination. Use within one year of manufacturing date.

BETTER FOR YOU AND THE PLANET

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

A BETTER OPTION

Raising ostriches requires 1/3 the fresh water, 1/50th the land, and generates 1/10th the greenhouse gas emissions of cattle.

ECO-FRIENDLY FARM

Our solar-powered facilities, locally sourced feed, and systems to convert waste into chemical-free compost are just a few of the ways we conserve resources.

NET ZERO IMPACT

We utilize every possible byproduct and are continually looking for innovative ways to achieve a net-zero impact on the environment.

ALWAYS HUMANE

We go to great lengths to ensure our flock is healthy, happy, and humanely handled from hatch to harvest.
