Compared with other livestock farming, ostrich farming is a new industry especially in Sarawak. Not much is known yet about these birds because they are foreign birds. Since these birds are foreign birds, a lot need to be learnt by the farmers particularly their adaptation, foods, diseases and also the methods or technique of rearing these birds.Thus, the main objective of this study is to determine the problems and difficulties faced by farmers, its potential growth, consumer's awareness and acceptance of ostrich product and to propose some recommendations.
