The paper presents the results of investigation of the amount of biogenic nutrients in the blood of the African Ostrich (Struthio camelus) fed low mineral content diets in the temperate continental climate in the western region of Ukraine. Blood samples were taken from the wing vein. The serum of males of about two years of age was used for analysis. In the study area, Struthio camelus were bred in an intensive manner, where the birds were in limited areas with free access outside. The amount of minerals in the feed strongly affected the level of biogenic nutrients in blood. The study of haematological parameters of trace minerals in the blood of African Ostriches is of great diagnostic value in determining the internal changes and pathological diagnosis of defects in the organism.
