Emu

Ratite birds have poorly developed wings and their breeds include Emu, Ostrich, Rhea, Cassowary and Kiwi. Emu and Ostrich are reared commercially in many parts of the world for their meat, oil, skin and feathers that are of high economic value. Emu has long neck, relatively small naked head, three toes, and body covered with feathers. Emu initially have longitudinal stripes on body (at 0-3 months of age) then gradually turn to brown by 4-12 months age. Mature birds have bare blue neck and mottled body feathers.

Adult bird height is about 6 feet with a weight of 45-60 kg. Legs are long covered with scaly skin adaptable to hardy and dry soil. Natural food of Emu is insects, tender leaves of plant and forages. Emu also eats different kinds of vegetables and fruits like carrot, cucumber, papaya etc. Female Emu is the larger of the two, especially during breeding season when the male may fast. The female Emu is the dominant member of the pair. Emu lives for about 30 years and it may produce eggs for more than 16 years. Birds can be maintained as flock or pair.

Emu Farming is done by us in controlled conditions to keep the birds healthy and improve their yield in terms of meat and eggs. Our Emu Birds are demanded for their healthy eggs, excellent skin, and nutritious meat.
