The emu breeding industry began in the late 1980's when researchers found that emu meat is an ideal heart-healthy protein source. Why? It is a red meat that is lower in cholesterol and higher in protein than beef or pork, with fat content comparable to chicken or turkey. Since about 40 lb. of boned, red, tender meat is available from a mature emu, it would require 2 1/2 million emu to provide each person in the USA with 1/4 lb. of emu meat. Currently, emu breeders, across America are looking to expand their flocks of emu to accommodate the growing consumer market for this healthy, red meat and other emu by-products.

The leather produced from emu is a high quality product used for garments, boots, and accessories.

The oil processed from emu naturally reduces inflammation, retards wrinkles, softens the skin, is hypoallergenic, and it is a transdermal carrier capable of penetrating skin tissues. This is a highly marketable oil, which is currently being manufactured by many beauty and cosmetic companies. Many national sports teams, to help reduce inflammation and soreness in muscles and joints use the oil currently.

Emu feathers are used by the fashion industry because of their beautiful and unique two feathers per quill formation. They are also used for feather dusters and in the industrial arena for finishing metal prior to painting.

Research shows that many emu farmers are trying to supplement traditional farm income or their existing jobs. The steady growth of the emu industry is no surprise to many farmers. Emu production can help a farm in many ways, from being a small part of the farming picture bringing in only a portion of overall farm income to a full-time operation with emu as a focus. Moreover, emu can be incorporated into farming operations of many types: big or small. Hilly or flat, wet or dry.In short, the adaptability of emu production points to an enduring new agricultural market that will provide excellent benefits and opportunities for growth in the years ahead.

The Emu subspecies that previously inhabited Tasmania became extinct after the European settlement of Australia in 1788; and the distribution of the mainland subspecies has been influenced by human activities. Once common on the east coast, Emu are now uncommon; by contrast, the development of agriculture and the provision of water for stock in the interior of the continent have increased the range of the Emu in arid regions. Emus are farmed for their meat, oil, and leather.
