ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALS FOR USE OF OSTRICH MEAT FOR PRODUCTION OF DIETETIC AND CHILDREN FOODS

摘要

IntroductionAt the present time, due to the deficiency of supplies of domestic beef and pork there is a trend in Russia of mass raising and processing of such exotic fowl as ostrich. The feeding of the fowl doesn't require incorporation in their diets of stimulants, hormone preparations, antibiotics, etc. The investigations of ostrich meat carried out according to sanitary and hygiene rules, related to foods for children (these are the most stringent requirements) have shown that it is an ecologically pure raw material with high quality. These factors are important in the increase of demand for these raw materials. The increasing distrust in traditional kinds of meat, which has been produced abroad using multiple chemical supplements, and the same distrust in some dangerous diseases of domestic animals, for example bovine spongiform encephalopathy occurring lately, also contribute to this.
