Hi

Emus belong to ratite group and have high economic value for their meat, eggs, oil, skin and feathers. These birds are adaptable to varied climatic conditions. Although emu and ostrich were introduced in India, emu farming has gained much importance.

Ratite birds have poorly developed wings and 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, which are of high economic value. The anatomical and physiological features of these birds appear to be suitable for temperate and tropical climatic conditions. These birds can be well maintained on extensive (ranches) and semi intensive rearing systems with reasonably high fibrous diets. United State, Australia and China are leading in emu farming. Emu birds are well adapted to Indian climatic conditions.
it survives in any type of climate. Each and every part of emu’s body is commercially valuable.
An year old emu is around five and half to six feet in height, its weight is 30-40 kg. Fully grown emu weighs 50-60kg.when it grows it changes its colour thrice. Emu birds live on barren or bushy land and always flock together.
The main work of a labourer in emu farm is to give the birds food & water and to collect their excreta. Hence the labour charges should be very less. A man can easily look after an emu farm with 100 birds in it.
