Abstract:
The study showed that ostrich meat contains a higher amount of protein than camel meat, and the results of the approximate analysis of the ostrich and camel meat were 20.71% and 18.30% protein, respectively. The results revealed that ostrich and camel meats contain all essential, non-essential amino acids. They were compared with the suggested needs for both children and adults and found that they cover most of the requirements with a clear superiority of some amino acids for ostriches and that the most amino acids present in the two types are glutamic, aspartic, and leucine, lysine, arginine, and alanine, with slight differences between them, where the proportion of leucine was higher in ostriches than in camels, while the amount of valine was higher in camels than in ostriches. According to the previous results, it is clear that ostrich meat is characterized by high proportions of protein when compared to camel meat. In addition, both ostrich and camel meat contain essential and non-essential amino acids, which cover most of the requirements of children and adults
