In cooperation with the Department of Animal Husbandry of the University of Debrecen, we also carry out research and breeding program activities. Our most important task is the pedigree of the first ostrich species. Hungarian, Romanian and Slovakian settlements are also involved in this multi-year process.

The research work includes the identification of the causes of embryo necrosis, the examination of changes in the composition of eggs during the laying year, with the aim of improving hatchability and the quality of chicks. One of the PhD students of the Veterinary School of Animal Husbandry Sciences deals with the topic of ostrich breeding and hatching. By participating in the research, we hope to improve the hatchability of eggs and the viability of chicks as much as possible, and we will discover scientific connections not known in ostrich breeding so far, which will make practical professional work even more productive.
