OSTRICH FEEDS

Our focus is on formulating feed for maximising on-farm profits. In order to maximise the cost effectiveness of our rations, we have developed the ideal protein profile with the correct protein to energy ratio.

Epol ostrich feeds provide the perfect balance for peak performance in your birds.

We offer high quality ranges of ostrich feed to suit the specific needs of birds for different purposes, including breeding and growing purposes. We strongly recommend different feeds for different purposes and at different phases for growing purposes.

For breeding purposes, we recommend Epol MegaGro Ostrich Breeder to provide sufficient supplements that can meet the nutritional needs of your ostriches before and during the breeding season. This ostrich pellet has a high nutrient content and is ideally fed together with lucerne. 

Epol’s MegaGro range is also suitable for gaining excellent growth rates as well as feed conversion ratios. This flagship ostrich range is specially formulated to suit the specific needs of birds at different stages of growth. 

Phase feeding is necessary for successful and cost-effective ostrich farming as the nutrient and energy requirements of birds change as they grow. For example, birds eat larger quantities as they age, therefore the overall nutrient density of the ratio can be reduced. Young ostriches

perform better on high-quality diets with a lower roughage inclusion. As the bird ages, their feed conversion efficiency declines.
