Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Licensed, commercial emu farming in Western Australia is now five years old.
This year, 13,500 birds will be processed for their meat, skin and oil. Production has exceeded demand at prices which the industry considers fair because the industry is still developing marketd for these producys.
