FAQs

Is an emu considered poultry?

An emu is not considered poultry; it is a large flightless bird classified as a ratite, closely related to cassowaries and ostriches, and belongs to its own family distinct from common poultry like chickens and turkeys.

What products do farmers get from emus?

Farmers raise emus primarily for their lean, low-fat meat which is rich in protein and vitamins, for emu oil used as a natural skin moisturizer, and also for emu eggs and feathers which have unique uses.

Is emu meat a healthy alternative to chicken?

Yes, emu meat is considered a healthier alternative to chicken as it is lower in fat and cholesterol and contains higher levels of vitamins C and E and iron, although it is less common and more expensive.

Why is raising emus expensive and challenging?

Raising emus is expensive and challenging due to their need for ample space, specialized care, and the difficulty in processing their meat since few facilities are approved to handle large flightless birds, which limits legal sale and increases costs.
