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 production process involves breeding, hatching, and rearing the chicks until they reach maturity. Farmers carefully manage the birds' diet, housing, and healthcare to optimize growth and productivity. Advanced farming techniques, such as artificial incubation and climate-controlled environments, have helped improve the efficiency and sustainability of ostrich and emu production.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the ostrich and emu farming industry include land, feed (e.g., grains, hay, and supplements), water, and specialized equipment such as incubators, fencing, and handling facilities. Farmers also require access to veterinary services and genetic stock to maintain the health and quality of their flocks. The industry relies on a range of supporting industries, including 020900 Live animals and 230690 Other preparations of a kind used in animal feeding.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the ostrich and emu farming industry are the live birds, as well as their meat, eggs, feathers, and leather. These products are used in a variety of industries, including 020500 Meat of horses, asses, mules or hinnies, fresh, chilled or frozen, 040700 Birds' eggs, in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked, and 420300 Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or of composition leather.
