About Emu
(an ostrich like bird weighing around 110-140
lbs, and can be 5-6' tall)
Every ounce
of the Emu is useable! The meat is a delicious red meat low in
calories(97% fat free). Some say its flavor has a likeness to
beef! The oil is a non-toxic, anti-bacterial,
& anti-inflammatory oil. The leather is a beautiful quilled pattern that
is durable and supple. Feathers, Eggs, & Toenails are used in crafts, jewelry, &
fashion items.
- Meat:
- "Red" or
"White" meat?
- Although ratites (Emu
for one) are poultry, the PH of their flesh is similar to
beef. Therefore, they are classified as "red"
meat. The raw meat is a very dark cherry red. After
cooking, the meat looks and tastes similar to beef. The
meat is cut in steaks, fillet, medallions(coin shaped
pieces), roasts, & ground meat. A 3.5 ounce serving
of raw Emu contains approx. 95 calories, 20 grams
protein, 1.5 grams fat, & 50 milligrams cholesterol.

Pure Oil:
- Emu Oil was discovered
by Aborigines many thousands of years ago. Well known for
its healing, penetrating and anti-inflammatory
properties, Emu Oil is suited for cosmetics and

Dear Consumer:
For years emu farmers have struggled to bring a healthy product to
your table. We have a heart healthy red meat that is low in cholesterol,
high in iron and vitamins. The problem is getting this meat to you at a
competitive price.
Beef, pork, chicken and other meat producers are under mandatory
USDA inspection. This means that when their product is harvested,
the government pays for the meat inspection.
Ratites, such as emu, ostrich and rhea, are under a voluntary USDA
inspection. This means we must pay for the inspection ourselves, even
though the inspection may be required in order to sell the meat.
Now, this is a health issue and we farmers welcome the inspection. We
just don't welcome the fees that come with it. These inspection costs
can add as much as $120 to the overall retail prices of emu. Naturally,
the cost is passed on to the consumer. It's even higher for ostrich.
Congressman Bennie Thompson will be introducing HR 4828 IH into
the 106th Congressional Session. This bill will amend the Poultry
Products Inspection Act to cover birds of the order Ratitae used for
human consumption. It will make inspection of ratites mandatory.
This will help to lower our costs and therefore the prices you consumers
will have to pay for emu and ostrich products.
Please take 5 minutes to help us! HR 4828 IH is currently in the Ag
Committee. We don't want it buried there. Please help us by writing
your congressmen and senator. If you don't know your legislators'
names and addresses, they can be looked up - and even contacted by
just clicking here. http://congress.nw.dc.us/rollcall/elecmail.html
Just tell your legislator that you are a consumer. Tell him that you
want to see emu and ostrich products available in your local grocery
store. Ask him to support HR 4828 IH. Or ask him to co-sponsor the
bill. We appreciate any help you can give us. This is an important
issue to the ratite industry as a whole. Thank you for your time and help.
