ABOUT OSTRICH
There’s a lot to love about ostrich meat. It’s high in protein, low in fat, and surprisingly, the meat is red. The taste, texture, and color are similar to veal and beef but ostrich has less than half the calories of beef and is lower in cholesterol than chicken.
​
Chemically and nutritionally, ostrich eggs are fairly similar to chicken eggs, but with a lower level of cholesterol in their yolks (around 2 mg less) and a greater proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in relation to saturated fatty acids.
​
Compared with other livestock, ostrich farming is significantly more sustainable and economical.
The practical lifespan of an ostrich is about 40+ years, with female ostriches producing between 20 and 60 eggs per year. Generally, ostrich eggs hatch within 42 days and the birds can be cultivated for meat in just over a year. Compared to cattle, which is not matured or consumer-ready before 645 days, ostriches require less feed per pound, less grazing land, and reproduce quicker.
