Ostrich co-op is different from other ostrich farms globally. We use a unique farming methodology based on a registered closed ostrich compartment model. This is something we pioneered here at Ostrich Co-op. Many said it couldn’t be done, but we proved them wrong. Through this model our birds are isolated from contact with ostriches in other compartments, and it remains like that throughout their lives. From when the eggs are laid on our own breeding farm to incubation, followed by when the eggs hatch, to when the chicks mature into adult birds, they never leave a compartment, because unlike other farms, we never buy or sell birds we rear the best of the best, and we produce the best of the best. We are also one of the few farms with our own custom built abattoir. This gives us control every aspect of the process, from being laid to when the meat is packed in the Ostrich Co-op box. Another way we are different is our location. We are a long way from the traditional ostrich farming regions of the country. In fact tucked safely deep in the bush we are more than 1000 km away. This means our birds is Isolated from diseases like bird flu that flares up from time to time. Being able to maintain the health of our birds, means we are able to guarantee a constant supply of the finest quality meat to our markets. Ostrich Co-op is a family business. We care deeply about our birds and their welfare, because at the end of the day we believe that the better they are treated, the better, the quality of the meat will be, that’s why our ostrich meat is so sought after. Ostrich Co-op boasts a unique top feed program, in addition to what they eat naturally, we supplement our ostriches diet with Lucerne, Maize and Soya. Yes, they are more affordable ways to feed ostriches, but our animals eat the best because your family deserves the best that’s why we simply don’t cut corners. We don’t just meet all the regulations imposed by the industry either we are obsessed with controls for example, every individual Ostrich co-op is allocated that unique number which means we can trace every single cut of meat that we produce when it’s meat from ostrich co-op we want people to know they are getting the finest premium quality ostrich meat available on the market.
