About birds; live, ostriches; emus (dromaius novaehollandiae)

HS code 010633 covers the trade of live ostriches and emus, which are large flightless birds native to Australia and parts of Africa. These birds are of significant economic importance, as they are farmed for their meat, eggs, feathers, and leather. The ostrich and emu industries have grown substantially in recent decades, driven by increasing global demand for their unique products and the birds' adaptability to a range of climates and farming conditions.

Production process

Ostriches and emus are typically raised on specialized farms or ranches. The birds are bred in captivity, with farmers carefully managing their breeding, feeding, and living conditions to optimize productivity. Key production techniques include incubating and hatching the eggs, rearing the chicks, and managing the birds' health and welfare throughout their lifespan. Farmers also employ techniques to harvest the birds' meat, eggs, feathers, and other valuable byproducts.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the ostrich and emu farming industry include land, specialized housing and equipment, feed and water, veterinary care, and skilled labor. Farmers may also require access to genetic stock, hatcheries, and processing facilities to support their operations. The industry relies on a range of supporting industries, such as 020900 Animal products not elsewhere specified or included, 151590 Other fixed vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, and 420320 Gloves, mittens and mitts, of leather or composition leather.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the ostrich and emu farming industry are meat, eggs, feathers, and leather. Ostrich and emu meat is prized for its low-fat, high-protein content and is consumed in many countries around the world. The eggs of these birds are also highly valued, both for human consumption and for use in various products. Ostrich and emu feathers are used in a range of applications, from fashion and home decor to industrial uses. The leather from these birds is also in high demand, particularly for the production of luxury goods. The outputs of the 010633 industry are consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 020810 Meat and edible offal of ostriches and emus, 040700 Birds' eggs, in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked, and 420500 Other articles of leather or of composition leather.
