How to raise ostriches well

First, when technicians are in charge of ostrich production, first prepare plastic bags or clean towels that have been fumigated.

2. Inform the breeder to observe the birds during the first production period. Generally, the male bird helps the mother bird to "pick the nest" in the circle in the first 10 days or so. The mother bird often turns in circles at the edge of the pit, the nostrils are red, and the food intake is reduced when starting production. Especially when the prenatal mother bird walks back and forth in the circle, the keeper should wash her hands with disinfectant and prepare plastic bags or towels. Wait for observation in places where ostriches are difficult to find. Ostriches usually lay eggs around 2: 00 to 7: 00 in the afternoon.

Third, about 2 minutes before laying eggs, the mother bird will squat, drool mucus, flap its wings, make a trembling sound, and begin to lay eggs. At this time, the egg catcher should run over immediately and take the egg with a towel in one hand and gently lift the bird's tail feathers with the other to prevent the tail feathers from being contaminated by the eggs. When picking up eggs, people should squat down to prevent the male birds from hitting you.

Fourth, the eggs are clean and wet, and the breeder should send them to the egg fumigation room in time, and the incubator will take over for disinfection and file storage. Disinfection should not be carried out until the water on the surface of the egg is dried. Plastic bags should be used to pick up eggs on rainy days to prevent Rain Water from being polluted.

Fifth, fumigation or storage of eggs should be put one end of the air chamber up. When a bird lays eggs, one end of the air chamber comes out first. when picking up eggs, just pay attention and inform the incubator. Receiving eggs can solve a difficult problem in determining the direction of the air chamber.
