Opinions of professional buyers toward a new, alternative red meat: ostrich
Article Abstract:
Professional meat buyers have little knowledge with regards to ostrich meat, which is considered to be a new, alternative red meat. The lack of awareness concerning ostrich meat among professional buyers is credited to the fact that the ostrich meat market in US is still in its infancy stage. A low priced branded, 6-ounce ostrich filet is found to be the most preferred ostrich product in restaurant and retail markets.
