“How to Start EMU Bird Farming”
Comment Page 1

@Akhtabur Hussain, emu bird costs around Rs20000/- to 50000/- depending on the breed. You can sell it at many places in India. There could be less buyer in Assam but plenty in Maharastra and South of India. Even you can earn good profit like Rs25000-30000 per pair of EMU in a year.

@jagan, Hi EMU bird farming cost varies from place to place and with the size as well. I would like to know your business location and the number of birds you are planning for startup. You can approximately calculate the birds cost from previous comment.

@kiran, 500 birds is a huge project. Have secured a land already? For loan you need a solid business plan, find a good business consultant to write a b plan for you. You also need good collateral for the loan.

@Babu
1.Emu Farming Market is very good and will be in very high stage with in a span of 5 years as just now its getting very good publicity. Emu Meat is cholesterol free hence many who tastes once will not leave this for taste and health. If 1% of non-vegetarians starts eating EMU the whole emus(approx 1lac birds) in India will be finished with in a year. So no worry for future market as demand is more than supply.
2.You don't need any training for this farming, if interested i will send u some Emu farming books hard copy and soft copy to get complete idea.

@Sanjiv, There are already good farms at Gujarat also. U can start a farm by buying 3 mnth old chicks(20 to 200 nos.)

@Bishnu, Please refer some of my old posts for a quick idea. Prepare a questionnaire of all your doubts and post it for which I can clarify you.

Emu is a australian bird which is 5.5 ft tall and 40-60kgs weight. Emu eats majorly Maize, soya bean, dob and other formulations. 96% of the bird parts are very useful and have a very good demand. We get 7-8 ltre of oil, 20-25kg meat(cholesterol Free), body leather, feet leather, feathers, nails, fertile eggs, infertile eggs all are are very valuable. It's very easy to breed and very friendly to human. Emu Farming require very low manpower. Just 2 workers are enough for 100 birds. Emus starts laying eggs at its age of 18-21 months and lays eggs only in winter season ie., september to Feb. Each female lays 10-40 eggs per season in a gap of 3 days per egg. Male and female emus should be grown up at 1:1 ratio. Each egg costs Rs.2000/- to 3000/-. Emu chick costs from 4000/- to 15000/- depending upon its age. An adult emu costs 25000/- to 50000/-. We can earn good profits from Emu Farming. Breakeven for this project is 3 years. From 4th year we can earn Rs.30000/- to 100000/- per pair per year. All bankers give 75%-90% loans for this project. We can get 50% of our project amount from NABARD without interest for 6 years. Electricity used is under Cat IV which cost Rs1.80 per unit. Interested ones can start an emu farm with 10 pairs to 100 pairs depending on your Financial status. According to experts idea there will be no Broiler farms in next 8-10 years which will be replace by Emu farms.

@Vincent, to start an emu farm firstly buy your required no. of emu chicks(3months) either with your own capital or support from bankers. later feed them and they starts laying eggs from 18month and lays eggs until its age of 20years. incubate your eggs in your own incubator or leased incubators for 48-51 days and you get your chick. Later you can market the same to other new emu farmers. If you want to sell to slaughtering units you have to grow them upto an age of 14months and can sell to them. In your 10 cents of land you can maintain upto 400 emu birds.

@Kalpana, please read above to start and to get bank loans and all financial details please call us.

@Vineet,
1. We give you buy back offer stating that we will buy chicks back at market value.
2. you can sell emu at any age depending upon the buyers requirement and has demand for all ages. rates increase as the age increases.
3. breed means variety of birds.
4. There used to be more variety like King Island emu and Dwarf emu but there is only one kind of emu right now.
5. you can start your own hatchery unit depending upon your no. of birds. U can purchase emu egg incubators from the poultry incubators makers. if you have less birds u can incubate your eggs from your near by hatchery unit with some nominal charges. Naturally male emu incubates eggs. which takes 48-51 days time.
6. from 3 months to 18 mnth age each bird expense per month is Rs.500/- approx ie Rs.7500/- per bird.

@Arindam, We are getting good inquiries from WB, i will refer some one to u.

@P V Sagar, What does chain business means? all kinds of Businesses are to purchase and sell to other customers. I dont think its called chain business. If u come to our place i can show u very clearly about emu farming. More over no banker or NABARD(National Bank for Rural and Agricultural Development)will support emu farming if this wont work or if its a chain business. I my self will purchase meat, oil, skin, feathers or bird for processing or will show you the buyer.

@Deepak, you can start with 150 pairs of emu chicks. But i suggest you to start maximum with 20-100 pairs only depending upon your financial status.

@parmvir hari, Emu can survive in an climatic conditions(hot/cold). no problem with Punjab climate.

@Shivaji Nalawade, HDFC Bank is also giving loans for Emu farming . Main factor is how you make the project report so email me copy to verify and rectify if any difference.

@Rana Banejee, you can start emu farming by purchasing 3 months old emu chicks either with own capital or with support from bank. If you go for bank loan u can get loan of 9 lakhs(4lacs from Bank and 5 lacs from NABARD). hence the total project costs is 10 lacs for which you can purchase 30 pairs of chics. u will get back total 10 lacs within 3-4 years and can earn 15 lacs per year from the 4th or 5th year. If any clarifications u can call me. If u want any E book n hard copy of Emu Farming hand book and project report. you can contact us. We can support you even in WB.
