World Ostrich Association Product Gradings, Classifications and other Guideline Standards

 

The grading & classification catetories were developed by the various committtees in place when the WOA was first established.  The committees were a collaboration of producers and marketers. The low levels of production continue to limit opportunities for further developement – but these standards do provide basic guide lines.   The terminology may vary from from country to country, but the principles remain the same for all.
