Emu products
Currently, EMU farming is ‘farm to fork’. This means that we raises the bird, arranges the processing and production of products, then sells the products. These products include:
Emu based commercial products:
Meat, skin and oil are the major products from emus; carved emu eggs and small quantities of emu feathers are also sold Emu meat is a low-fat, low-cholesterol (less than 0.05%) Emu fat is rendered to produce an oil which is used in cosmetics and therapeutic products Emu oil for acne, hair, arthritis, hair loss, skin, eczema psoriasis. current research is going on to develop various products in emu industry
(A) Emu eggs
This is the most important among various products in emu farm. In the initial period the eggs should be used for the purpose of reproduction. In the later period the eggs will be used for growing fleshy young ones. In emu farming the egg production and hatching remains a very important everlasting process. In future emu-eggs production will definitely fetch large amount of profits. These birds live for forty years and remain sexually active for at least twenty five years. Hence with a single investment one can obtain long term production and profit. A single bird gives minimum twenty and maximum forty eggs every year. These eggs have dark-green colour. Each egg ways 400 to 600 gms.
(B) Emu Chick
• Emu chick weighs approximately 70% of emu egg weight
• Emu chick breeds naturally or by using incubator
• Artificial incubation is often conducted at a temperature of approximately 97.5 degrees fahrenheit
• A relative humidity that varies according to the climate.
• Average incubation time ranges from 48 to 52 days.
• Born chick colours are coffee brown with white line marks.
• Colour will change after 3 months
• Nutrition food and purified water is must up to 3 months
(C) Emu Oil
A number of studies have been conducted and are currently being conducted throughout the world on facts of the Emu oil, including its composition, benefits, applications in different industries and the resulting properties of compounds formulated with the oil.
Traditionally Emu oil has been used for treatment of muscle and joint pains. Clinical experience with Emu oil has shown that its two major benefits are its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to penetrate the skin. It also appears to provide some solar protection. The penetrating effect appears to be related to its non-phosphorous composition.
“Our skin is phospho-lipid deficient. In other words, there is no phosphorous in our skin. If you put anything on your skin that has phosphorous in it, your skin is 'programmed' to keep it from penetrating. Anytime you put anything on your skin that is phospholipids’ deficient, or has no phosphorous, it penetrates right through ". Researchers who have analyzed the oil found that there is a compound in oil that they believe is the key to its effectiveness. This compound molecule is believed to be collagen. Collagen is found in chickens and turkeys in a much diluted
form. However, the test result on the Emu shows this molecule to be present in an extremely concentrated form. Research and development of Emu oil using in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals is rapidly expanding. Emu oil has been documented to exhibit the following properties and/or has been used for the following purposes.
· Anti-inflammatory
· Moisturising
· Cholesterol reducer
· Bacteriostatic
· Penetration enhancer
· Signficant epidermal proliferative activity
· No –comedogenic
· Significant wound healing agent
· Significantly reduces recent keloid scarring
· Appears to promote faster healing of burns with less pain and scarring
· Anti-arthritic activity
· Excellent emulsifier
This is an important product in emu absorbed in human skin within 4 used in skin ointments and also for various cosmetic products. Recent research oil serves as excellent medicine for arthritis. It is also used as a pain killer.
The fatty acids present in this oil decrea research. Because of the medicinal value of this oil, western countries are capturing international markets by producing new cosmetics creams has a great opportunity to enter in to international market.
(D) Emu Meat
Low on cholesterol, high on protein," in what sounds like a well the benefits of consuming emu meat. 300 in Maharashtra-up and running in the country today. While 1,000 may seem like a big number, it’s a drop in the ocean in comparison with the poultry farms that dot the country. Likewise in production, there are estimate of about 33,000 tonnes of emu meat produced in India now, which is a fraction of the 1.9 million tonnes of chicken meat produced in the country every year.
The bird’s meat is considered a healthy substitute for other red-meat variants such as lamb or beef. It is supposed to be extremely nutritious, with fat and h nflammatory activity educer nhancer omedogenic ctivity mulsifier emu-farming. From the fat oil can be extracted. This oil gets 4-5 seconds and reaches the bones. Hence this oil is mainly decrease the blood-cholesterol level as per the modern and lotions from this oil. India too well-rehearsed line designed to sell There are estimated 1,000 EMU farms here estimates being india th cholesterol shows that this farms-there are about content being much lower than in any other red meat. Each and every part of emu’s body is commercially valuable. The most important is of course, its meat which is 97 to 98% fats free. Emu meat is rich in proteins; it contains plenty of iron, vitamin B-12, hence as the modern research shows 'emu meat is an excellent diet for people suffering from heart–ailments. Emu meat has less fat content, it is easily digestable, very tasty and hence it serves as a very good alternative for mutton and chicken. Therefore, there is a great demand for it in international market. Each bird can yield about 25 kg of meat.
(E) Emu Skin
Emu-skin is very soft and smooth, hence it has a great demand in international leather industry for producing new fashionable goods. A variety of goods can be produced from emu-skin. A fully grown up bird can yield 6 to 8 sq. ft. leather.
(F) Emu Feathers
The feathers of the Emu bird are double quilled, attractive and velvety to the touch. They are soft, light and non-allergic, which makes them the ideal material for a host of applications. They are in demand both in the fashion and in art and craft industries. They are used as feather duster, feather pad, fans, bows, masks, finishing metals prior to painting, weather-proof apparels, pillows, blazers, sweaters, jewellery, and craft items.

Healthcare and management
Ratite birds are generally sturdy and live long (80% livability). Mortality and health problems in emus are mainly in chicks and juveniles. These include starvation, malnutrition, intestinal obstruction, leg abnormalities, coli infections and clostridial infections. The main causes were improper brooding or nutrition, stress, improper handling and genetic disorders. Other diseases reported were rhinitis, candidiasis, salmonella, aspergillosis, coccidiosis, lice and ascarid infestations. Ivermectin can be given to prevent external and internal worms at 1 month interval beginning at 1 month age.
In emu, enteritis and viral eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE) were reported. In India, so far few outbreaks of Ranikhet disease were recorded based on gross lesions but were not confirmed. However, the birds vaccinated for R.D at the age of 1 (lasota), 4 (lasota booster) weeks; 8, 15 and 40 weeks by mukteswar strain gave better immunity.
