Now is the time to seize the opportunity to become involved in America's newest and most exciting agri-business. The product demand cycle is picking up speed as more consumers become aware of the healthy and vital products produced by the emu.
Because the bird population is relatively small, the demand for product will quickly exhaust all available harvest stock. As a result, the industry will enjoy a returned value for existing breeding birds and higher prices for foundation stock as well as slaughter stock.
The Emu Farming Advantage - Emu is a relatively simple animal to farm and easy to manage
- Emu adapts to almost any climatic condition
- Emu has a very low susceptibility to disease
- Emu integrates well with other farming operations, i.e. horses, cattle, sheep, fruit orchards, etc.
- Emu require very little ground space when compared to other livestock, (15 acres easily accommodates up to 600 birds)
- Emu efficiently convert feed to meat yielding 28 - 30 lbs. of premium meat at a processing age of one year, which allows a quick turn over of stock for the breeder.
- Emu consume negligible dollars in feed (approx. $105.00 per year) resulting in a high proportion of product revenue to low maintenance cost.
- Emu is "the totally usable bird"; oil, meat, leather, feathers, toenail and eggshells.
