Ratite
(ostrich, rhea, and emu)
To have a healthy
ratite farm, you need the best feed at the least cost... not just the least cost feed.
Don't shortchange your valuable bird, demand
high quality Dehydrated Alfalfa as a major ingredient in your total feed rations.
The ratites unusual digestive system
welcomes the inclusion of Dehydrated Alfalfa!
There is a lot to learn about feeding
ratites but we do know that they are herbivores, a vegetable eating animal.
Understanding the digestive systems of the ratites, and the need for Dehydrated
Alfalfa products in the diet helps provide optimum conditions for ideal growth.
Traditional bird feeds are not appropriate
for the ratite. Feed must be regulated carefully as over consumption can lead to
health problems including leg problems induced by rapid growth. Dehydrated
Alfalfa in the diet helps to control consumption, helps build good bone structure
and helps to limit nutritional disorders.
