摘要：Ostrich farming is a new emergent in avian production throughout the globe from the last few years which can open new vistas for development for its delicious meat, feathers and the hide. Pakistan being independent in cheap labor and cheap feed can easily set up ostrich farms of high production potential in the country. Ostrich is gaining popularity in Pakistan and there are many farmers who are rearing ostrich at small scale in various parts of the country. Demand for meat (healthy meat), fat/oil, hide, eggs, feathers and other products is increasing day by day in Pakistan. However, ostrich producers are only meeting 10% of the customers demand. Therefore, it is high time to capture our share in the local and international market. Major clients for meat are Super Stores, Meat Markets, Restaurants and hotels. Academia [Riphah College of Veterinary Sciences (RCVetS), university of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore (UVAS), Pir mehar Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR)] and Livestock and Dairy Development Department (L&DD) are playing their considerable efforts to promote ostrich farming in the country and very soon Pakistan can be the world leader in ostrich farming. To promote ostrich farming on large commercial scale research is needed for different welfare considerations of ostriches in climatic conditions in Pakistan.
