Abstract
Over the last 10 years, the Australian and International ostrich industry has undergone many changes. The lowering of individual bird values and reduction in gross margins for ostrich producers has led to a significant change in the role of veterinarians servicing the ostrich industry. No longer is the major focus on individual bird medicine and surgery. Instead, the emphasis is now on areas such as maximizing chick survival and growth rates, improving feed conversion efficiency, optimizing reproductive performance, and involvement in management decision making to help maximize production efficiency. This report identifies and details approaches that should be taken to improve ostrich flock health and hence also maximize the production efficiency of ostrich farms on which these principles are followed.
