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

(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

· 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.

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.

Therefore, there is a great demand for it in international market. Each bird can yield about 25 kg of meat.
(E) Emu Skin
