Ostrich (Struthio camelus) production in Egypt
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2007This review discusses the historical, developmental and practices of ostrich farming in Egypt. In the early 20th century, ostrich farming was very important for production of ostrich feathers and documents were produced to perfect the art of procuring the plumes from the birds and subsequently processing them.

The wild ostrich (Struthio camelus): a review
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2009The aim of the current report was to study the literature pertinent to wild populations of ostriches and their ecological and behavioural adaptations in the wild. Selected areas included palaeontology; ostrich distribution; conservation status and relationships with humans and habitat.

Microsporidiosis in a Young Ostrich (Struthio camelus)
Avian Diseases, 1998Microsporidia are obligate, intracellular, protozoan parasites of a wide variety of vertebrates and invertebrates. Confirmed reports of microsporidial infection of avian species are few (lovebirds, a parrot, and a group of budgerigar chicks). At slaughter, a 14-mo-old ostrich was found to have small intestinal serosal hemorrhages during postmortem ...

Botulism in ostriches (Struthio camelus)
Avian Pathology, 1994An outbreak of botulism in ostriches (Struthio camelus) is described. Some birds became totally paralysed, and many developed paresis and ataxia. Clostridium botulinum type C and its toxin were found in the remains of an ostrich carcass collected from the camp in which the birds were kept.

Haematological parameters of the otrich (Struthio camelus)
Avian Pathology, 1989Haematological reference values according to age and sex, were obtained from healthy ostriches (Struthio camelus) held under intensive conditions. Erythrocytic parameters and indices demonstrated an age-related trend: the packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration and erythrocyte count were lowest in ostriches of 1 to 3 months of age.

Wild ostrich (Struthio camelus) ecology and physiology
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2009This work discusses some of the important considerations of wild ostrich evolution, behaviour and ecology, as items included in ostrich production. In the process considerable research was conducted by collating information from peer-reviewed papers; textbooks; manuals; and PubMed and Agricola searches.

The morphology of the pecten oculi of the ostrich, Struthio camelus
Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2006مشط العين هو بنية غريبة لعين الطيور. يتم التعرف على ثلاثة أنواع مورفولوجية من البكتين العيني: النوع المخروطي، والنوع المطوي والنوع المطوي. تم دراسة النوع المطوي جيدًا. ومع ذلك، لا توجد سوى بيانات ضئيلة عن مورفولوجيا النوعين الأخيرين من البكتين. تم فحص بنية النوع المزركش من مشط النعامة، Struthio camelus باستخدام المجهر الضوئي والإلكتروني.

The Ostrich (Struthio camelus) egg-white lysozyme
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1977The purification of Ostrich (Struthio camelus) egg-white lysozyme is reported. The quantitative amino acid composition, the molecular weight, the N-terminal sequence (34 amino acids) as well as kinetic studies allow to range this enzyme among the goose type lysozymes.

Quality characteristics of ostrich (Struthio camelus) burgers
Meat Science, 2006Quality characteristics and storage stability of three types of burgers prepared with ostrich meat (alone or mixed with pork or beef meat) were evaluated. Burger evaluation was based on chemical, microbiological, textural, colour, sensory and oxidation characteristics.

Mechanics of running of the ostrich (Struthio camelus)
Journal of Zoology, 1979Ostriches have been filmed running fast in their natural habitat. A female ostrich has been dissected and the principal bones, muscles and tendons in a leg have been measured. It is calculated that stresses up to 240 kN m−2 and 40 MN m−2, respectively, act in the digital flexor muscles and their tendons during running.
