"This is a multifaceted book by multiple authors which effectively addresses many of the problems encountered during the developmental stages of the ratite industry in the USA. The majority of the authors are veterinarians and this is reflected in the book's contents." -- Journal of Preventative Veterinary Medicine.

"I strongly recommend this book for people involved with ratites, whether they are in a zoo setting or are involved in the farm production of these animals." -- James M. Jensen, DVM, Texas A&M University, Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 10(4):293, 1996.

"The appendix on ratite formulary for standard medications, vitamin and mineral supplements and miscellaneous therapeutics is remarkably complete and well worth the price of the volume." -- The Ostrich News, January 1997.
