hello Sir
EMU farming is a big venture with a huge growth potential.
EMUs are tough birds and are even immune to bird flu,but have to be protected from other specific diseases including encephalitis.
Emu eats Fruits, flowers, insects, seeds and green vegetation; love caterpillars
Emus require 6-10litters’ good water daily
Emus require 3 times food per day
Female Emu or hen begins laying eggs, male Emu keep watch of incubation
The emu egg varies in size and color. It is usually dark green, averaging 5 inches long and weighing approximately 600 grams
The male waits until the female lays at least 9 eggs and then he starts incubating them by sitting on the nest
He incubates them for 52-56 days and does nott eat or drink during this time
Emu can reproducefor as long as 2-5 years.
EMU birds live on barren or bushy land and always flock together. So far EMU farm are on a non-agricultural or barren land from which water may run off easily is fine. A single bird needs minimum of 400 to 500 sq. ft. area. These birds like open land. An EMU farm must have minimum 20 bird pairs (male & female). A grilled fence can give excellent protection.within the fenced area a structure of 20 x 40 feet may be erected to give the birds shelter from sun, wind and rain.
