Ostrich raising is just started in 1998 with very very few. Today it is spread over country we estimate about >15.000 breeders today. It is very very interesting for us (Viet Ba OStrich farm and Vietnam Foutry Institution) to be in Xian China year 2004 for a big Conference meeting of Ostrich you see we have taken many pictures from the meeting with Chairman of World Ostrich and many other relation to send to our Ministry of Agriculture to remind of them what the Ostrich world today. We was informed from that there will be simillar meeting in May 2006 like that in Vietnam for the OStrich Farm in Vietnam sitting toghether and give out their own opinions and experiences like training in Xian 2004. But you see today is June it still on paper, no one has experiences as good enough to talk in the medium Vietnamse Ostrich Farms only. Even Mr Tien who director of Vietnam fountry Institution they has >2000 OStrich today but he can not speech of experiences. From Xian Meeting weak up me and two other man due to so far we have some different from specialists (example from Khalifar Egip) I keep contact with Khalifar for helping with Hatching so our Incubation today is rather good.”

The second we would like to beg you to keep our informations of Newsletter and others documentation relation on Ostrich. We known of meeting in Mandirid but could not get financial to come due to our bad profite income as after Sars is Chicken flue and now is Pig and Cow.

There is no any Ostrich to be die of sick so we still think of try to keep them as much as possible due to compare other fountry it is still the best for alternative today. Thank you and Kindly Regards From Ostrich farm in Vietnam From my bottom of heart I wish Organization Developing Continuously to help more and more farm like we are”

“Dear Allan I wrote this first to say thank you again and yes to tell you that your newsletters and other ifnformation you gave me did help me very much. I was then trying to get some infomation on how to raise Ostrich and probably try to start a farm later on but then I have no idea whatsoever on how to do it and what are the things I should know about it, the things that I'll be needing not to metion how to market it afterwards. Anyway I search the internet to get some information but all i get are just small dicussion about the birds itself although there are others who tells me more. I feel then that i did not heave enough information so i search some more and as luck would have it i came across your article and i readily submit a querry to you. At first I would just get the same information from the ones i have seen before but I was surprised at what you have sent me. You did just give me the basic but other things as well like what kind of place is needed to put the farm, the hatchery, how to take care of the eggs, the diseases it is susceptible to and how to aoid it. Basically you gave the necessary tools so to speak in order for the likes of me to get started. Above all else there are those news letters regrding the conventions, the marketing demands for ostrich meat and its other products. So its not like you just given me a piece of cake but the the whole box of cake and to top it gave me the place on where I can get the cake. I really appreciate all these things and would have gone into the business readily had it not for more pressing matters that needs my whole attention. But I wish I could still recieve informations from you regarding the trends and any advaces in technologies. ” Romeo Bayot (Philippines) “Your interesting & informative newsletters have developed my interest in these wonderful birds.Our property is being further devaloped to accomadate more.” Hugh Dunedin (New Zealand) “Dear Alan, Thanks for your look up. I read your starting lessons for ostrich and other information on this field. They are all ok. What I would like more to get and have contact is the market information in world and also new information about ostrich growing, foods, better and more egg to bird ratio or lets say more 1 day birds from a hen. Also your news letter is good. I prefer to receive all this through mail and not by post because I think it is easy way. If you are interested in ostrich business in Iran let me know what you need and how we may cooperate later.”
Farzad Bighal (Iran)

I appreciated the important contribution you made to organisation of the 2005 World Ostrich Congress in Madrid and giving me the opportunity to attend and meet industry people and researchers and learn about the latest industry issues and research being undertaken.

“Hello ! Im thankful for the valuable information that i receive from you each time! Im still a student at university, and i have always been interested in Ostrich farming and crocodile farming as well.The information that i get helps me realise the vital factors about this business and how external factors will affect me when the time comes for me to start on this investment, like how to relate my location for operation (Botswana) with the international market. I have found vital information about how i could plan,prepare and start the operation, how returns flactuate and also which products really bring more income. I think what i need as well is to meet farmers who are progressing on this business, and not to forget those who have been unfortunate so that i may learn from their experiences both positive and negative. Looking forward to reading your next newsletter. Thank you!”

“Dear M. Alan,
We would like to thank you for your last visit to Lebanon and specially to our "Middle east Ostrich" farm in Maaroub - Tyr and I would like to point out the following notes:
1) Thanks for the information and help you had given us specially in the skin process, we had learnt the correct way to remove the skin and the proper way which help us to produce an extra income of 40 to 45% minimum given that in the future and from now on we intend to slaughter our birds as you already thought our people which will be saving us between 20 to 25% of our time and cost.
2) We used "before your visit" to slaughter our birds on a very preliminary way, therefore we would like to thank you for the slaughter guide you had given us and the way we keep it until we sell it.
Hence, we would like to express our thanks in the name of "Middle East Ostrich" and "Wotraco s.a.r.l." for your help.
We will continue our work with you as an advisor and specially that we are thinking of expending the business.
Thanks & Best Regards”
