It is approximately 10 to 12 times the size to that of chicken eggs. EMU female lays eggs after every 3 to 5 days. EMU can lay up to 30 yrs of age provided it is being properly maintained for its fertility. So up to 25 years any farmer can earn high yield by starting EMU farming on non cultivable wastage & barren land.

What we provide….
Isn’t that enough to get a proper idea about Emu Farming?
Now let’s make a rough calculation.
Suppose you buy 10 pairs of Emu.
That means 10 females and 10 males.
A female Emu bird lays 10+ eggs in first season.
20+ eggs in the second season and 25+ from the third season till 25 to 30 years.
That means 10 Emu pairs will produce an approx. 100 eggs in the first season, approx. 200 eggs in the second season and approx 250 minimum eggs from third season till 25 to 30 years.
We buy those eggs from you at the rate of 2000/- Rs. Per Egg [ this is the minimum rate as per the current market conditions. It can be more than this.]
The feed consumption of feed by an adult bird is comparatively very less i.e. approx.1 kg per day
Now just calculate the figure by yourself……..
And this much of money you can earn every year for the lifetime.
Isn’t this simple, easy, affordable and huge & huge returns business.
CONCLUSION :
Emu farming offers great scope & potential because of its supplementary income additional employment & simplicity in operation .Efficient emu development can be Achieved by promotion of small units in villages through a gamut of functions like Dissemination of information & technology, making various inputs & organizing training Sessions for farmers on this subject.
