http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu
The emu is principally farmed for low-fat meat, high quality leather and oil. Emu oil has a reputation largely derived from its traditional use over hundreds of years by the Australian Aboriginals. Western Australia was the first State in Australia to allow commercial emu farming in 1970, with approval being given in Queensland in 1987 to the Cherbourg Aboriginal Community to capture 300 wild emus for a primary breeding stock. They were then shipped to the southern part of India
Starting an emu farm is a big decision that requires planning and preparation. Once you have created a budget and committed to start farming emus, make smart decisions by buying the right age and quality emu bird from Rehal Emu Farm.
Emu farming is a growth industry, with massive potential to earn domestic and export Rupees, and at the same time contribute to the ecological regrowth of the Country. An emu farm is a very environment-friendly operation. Emus are soft-footed birds, ensuring no damage to the land on which they are farmed
Emu Meat Benefits : Emu Meat is Healthful and Recommended by Nutritionists Emu Meat is High Protein, Emu Meat is Low Cholesterol Emu Meat is Low Fat Birds are generally processed at around 12-18 months old, with the average return being 10-15 kg meat, 5 ltrs oil, 0.7 m2 skin for leather, 2 leg skins and 0.75 kg feathers. Emu Meat is extremely lean, low in fat and cholesterol, with the meat from farmed birds (the only sort I have eaten) having a taste similar to a fine cut of beef, but opinions vary. Surprisingly, the meat is red rather than white, and can be cooked in as many ways as more traditional meats, from stir-frys and kebabs to thick BBQs and roasts.
Emu Oil has become increasingly popular at various levels of refinement, from a specialist lubricant to being hailed by some as a cure for arthritis. While the jury may still be out on some claims, what is fact is the penetrative properties of the oil, lending itself to body care and liniment rub products.
Emu Leather from the body of the bird is a fine,soft leather with a distinctive patterned surface. It is used successfully in clothing and accessories such as wallets, bags and boots. Leather from the legs of the bird is thicker with a raised pattern similar to crocodile leather. It is also prized for accessories such as belts or watch bands, and is used to highlight other leather products.
