The actual purpose of ostrich breeding in Italy is the purchase of the parents only, but not the commercial utilization of the meat and other products (leather and feathers). The absence of specific slaughtering lines, because they are too expensive, had led to make a trial to verify the adaptation of some mammals slaughtering lines (sheep, goats and cattle) of varying mechanization level and to estimate the microbiological findings. Our study put in evidence the likeness among the ostrich slaughtering phases and those of the other avian species and, because of the massive dimension, those of mammals and particularly the cattle. Then, a specific flow diagram and designing criteria for ostrich slaughtering, adapted or specific, structures are proposed. Moreover, it is defined a standard cell that seems to be the best solution to the actual problems observed, with the addition of some pre-fabricated elements.

Abstract
The actual purpose of ostrich breeding in Italy is the purchase of the parents only, but not the commercial utilization of the meat and other products (leather and feathers). The absence of specific slaughtering lines, because they are too expensive, had led to make a trial to verify the adaptation of some mammals slaughtering lines (sheep, goats and cattle) of varying mechanization level and to estimate the microbiological findings. Our study put in evidence the likeness among the ostrich slaughtering phases and those of the other avian species and, because of the massive dimension, those of mammals and particularly the cattle. Then, a specific flow diagram and designing criteria for ostrich slaughtering, adapted or specific, structures are proposed. Moreover, it is defined a standard cell that seems to be the best solution to the actual problems observed, with the addition of some pre-fabricated elements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
