Learn about the 3 most important types of ostriches in the world.. The best of them is the black-necked
Ostrich meat consumption is considered a new phenomenon in Egypt due to consumers not being accustomed to it, which requires some time to get used to consuming it, in addition to the high prices of selling it locally compared to the prices of selling red meat such as cows and sheep, and the demand for ostrich meat is still limited to visitors to hotels and large restaurants and some who want to eat it occasionally.

Who among us doesn't enjoy pasta (spaghetti, or thin strings) cooked in various ways (with tomato sauce, yogurt, eggs, cheese, etc.)? However, none of us likes to see these strings or tough white lines in broiler chicken meat (especially in the breast), which often leads to the rejection of such chickens for human consumption in slaughterhouses, causing significant moral losses to the poultry industry, farmers, slaughterhouses, and their associated companies.
In fact, global attention has focused on understanding the increasing incidence of muscle disorders (myopathies) in broiler chickens, a topic that has gained prominence in the early 21st century.

Introduction:
Due to genetic improvements in breeder strains over recent years, it is essential to continuously review nutritional requirements. Both calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are essential minerals for growth and bone formation, responsible for their hardness and strength. Therefore, accurately estimating calcium and phosphorus requirements is crucial for increasing productivity.
Unlike phosphorus (P), calcium sources are generally inexpensive. Studies have shown that excessive calcium may negatively affect digestion due to the formation of insoluble salts with dietary fatty acids in the intestinal lumen, which may reduce nutrient availability, decrease energy utilization, and reduce growth and feed efficiency. Additionally, excess calcium interferes with the digestion and absorption of trace minerals and interacts with inorganic phosphorus in the digestive tract. Hence, reducing calcium levels can enhance phosphorus utilization.
