Ostriches lay the largest eggs in the world; their eggs are very hard and tough, it could be used as table eggs or hatching eggs or in decoration and adornment. Both environment and genetic factors affecting the ostrich egg production, so the egg production varies from 25 to 120 eggs per season. According to several studies, the variability of external and internal egg quality values may be attributed to weather, location of the farm, nutrition and physiological factors. Genetic impact also plays an important role in this concern. Breeder factors that affect hatchability include strain, health, nutrition and age of the flock, egg size, weight and quality, egg storage duration and conditions. Globally, there is no doubt that the ostrich production should take more interest due to their …
