Deficiência de microminerais no desenvolvimento de avestruzes causando a perose

Abstract

The ostrich develops very fast in the first months of life, thus favoring several problems in the legs. This pathology can be influenced by several factors, including genetic. With the concern of maintaining the quality of our herd, we try to find out which is the main factor related to the series. In this study we observed that 70% of the cases are related to the nutritional management of birds. The animals with deviation of upright were destined for blood tests, being observed a deficiency of manganese. This deficiency is responsible for the poor development of the tendons, which will not accompany bone growth.
