Anesthesia and Surgery of Ratites
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1998Veterinary practitioners should apply common principles of anesthesia and surgery used in domestic livestock to ratites. Routine procedures can be accomplished in the field or in a veterinary hospital, provided practitioners become familiar with response of ratites to sedation and anesthesia.

Restraint and Housing of Ratites
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1998Large animal practitioners are called upon to assist producers to prevent and control disease and to manage flocks. The concerns that exist in traditional livestock and poultry management are also applicable to ratites. Adequate ventilation, shelter, and space allocation are the foundations of flock health.

How Do Ratite Meats Compare with Beef?: Implications for the Ratite Industry
1998Emu and ostrich meats were compared with beef to identify and quantify their sensory attributes. A sensory panel was used to compare U.S. Department of Agriculture Choice top sirloin beef with emu and ostrich meat, both ground and intact forms. Comparisons of sensory quality and acceptability were made after zero, two, four and six months of frozen ...

Ruffling ancient ratite feathers
Science, 2014Evolution![Figure][1] An adult kiwi and an elephant bird egg. PHOTO: KYLE DAVIS AND PAUL SCOFIELD/CANTERBURY MUSEUM Biologists have often pointed to the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana to explain how related species ended up on far-flung continents, but as new research shows, that explanation doesn't fly with ratite birds. Ratite birds are a

Ratite Health: Welfare Implications
2011The Codes of Practice developed for ratites in a number of countries place considerable importance on ensuring that the health of birds is closely monitored and that appropriate vaccines are used to prevent disease. Likewise, if the health of ratites is compromised, there are clear guidelines on actions required by farmers to improve the health of ...

Ratite Eggshells from Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Science, 1972Struthious and aepyornithoid eggshells from Tertiary calcareous sediments on Lanzarote prove the presence, until about 12 million years ago, of large flightless birds. The calcarenite horizon is recognized as an old land surface. Mesozoic sedimentary rocks in the basement of the volcanic islands of Lanzarote and neighboring Fuerteventura indicate that ...

Science News, 1994
A t dusk in the east Texas town of Montgomery, the pale golden sky gives way to striations of pink and plum light. In the distance, on the Cartwright farm, cows converse in low baritones. From somewhere farther away on this 246-acre spread comes a surprising sound: a gentle, jazzy timbre, resonating like a bass. Music, yes, but not exactly strings.

A DNA test to sex ratite birds
Molecular Ecology, 2002AbstractDNA‐based sex tests now exist for many avian species. However, none of these tests are widely applicable to ratites. We present DNA sequence data for a locus that is W chromosome‐linked in the kiwi, ostrich, cassowary, rhea, and emu.
