“How to Start EMU Bird Farming”
Comment Page 6

@basu 4 huge Emu processing units are under construction & will start working within 2 months in AP. These units are ready to acquire approx 3 lac emus per year. they are offering a price of rs.315/- per kg live weight. this price may go upto 500/- within a year. there are 2500 farms all over India as on now and increasing very fast yearly. this process will continue for 5-10 more years. During the egg laying season many agents, old farmers purchase eggs/chicks from any small places.

@samrat mukherjee Emu farming is growing very fast in W.B. U need not make any products from ur farm, just breed the adult birds n sell ur eggs or chciks in ur state itself. U can call me for any market support.

@jafar agadi Minimum capital to start emu farm is Rs.3 lacs(10pairs). A pair of emus require 250sft of land, u can buy emus from any where in ur state itself. U can google for contact details. We also sell emu chicks.

@vijay u can start ur farm with 20 pairs of emus and your budget of 6 lacs is enough. U can go for bank loan and avail govt subsidy of above 3 lacs for ur project.

@navneet kaur, Emu Farming is growing very fast in your state and also allover north India. Its definitely a good profitable business. Emus can survive in all climatic conditions and any where in our India. Cost of emu chicks varies form place to place, age etc. Minimum investment would be 3 lacs to start with 10 pairs of Emus.

@keval patel, you require a eggs hatching and brooding machine to hatch emu eggs. U can get them from any place(especially in Hyderabad). Normally hen poultry hatching unit manufacturers make this machines too. You may google for more details. You will require a generator also for the same. Machines are fully automated and you dont require any training for the same. You can easily run the machine with ur senior's suggestion even through phone.

@Girish In ur 8000Sft land u can accommodate 10-15 pirs of emus. For Which total project cost would b 3-4lacs. For more info please read my postings colored in orange.

@keval patel Project Report will cost U Rs.2000/-. U can get the same within 3-5 days through courier to ur given address.

@abon In an acre of land u can accommodate 200+ emu birds. u can plan according to ur financial budget. U can sell in ur place. Its just growing fast in ur state n can sell easily with good profits too.

@RANA PARTHIVKUMAR, @saroj kumar swain, U can start emu farming with 10 pairs of emus for which the project cost upto 2 years is Rs.3 lacs. 10 pairs of emus will require 2500 Sft land.

@Yogi, Vileena Processing people are informing that they will start trial run by july last week. Other than this unit 3 more processing units are under construction n will start within this year itself. Regarding profit/loss this depends upon many factors. If u call me we can have a good discussion regarding this. Thank u for ur compliment.

@barathirajan, With ur 5lacs u can start a minimum emu farm of 15 pairs. With the same amount if u can get Bank loan u can also start an 50 pairs farm n can also avail NABARD subsidy. For Detailed Project Report u can contact us.

@Danny, Emus are very resistant birds. They dont have any diseases maximum. Once it gets any problem we can easily cure and the same will not b carried to other birds. Hence the risk level is very low.

@nakib saiyed, I have mailed u the contact no of vet doctor.

@varun, Pls read my postings colored in orange to get complete idea of farming. U can also call me for more info or can visit our farm in Chirala, AP with a prior appointment.

@RANJAY SHUKLA, U can check at vileenaemu.com for slaughter house details. There are 3 more slaughter houses processing emus of their own farm.

@Jyothi 1.If 1% of non veg population in India starts eating emu meat, we require approx 50,000 emus per month to b slaughtered in India. As the farming is going well by selling to new farmers now, no one r cutting their birds to sell meat. But the people who are slaughtering emu r having very good requirement of emu meat all over India. If u r interested u can start a emu meat stall with 1 emu per week at ur place n make trial. I guarantee u that within a month u require minimum of 50-100 emus per week due to its fat free meat n tasty too.
2.Emu Meat is a red meat with 98% fat free. The oil is separately stored on its back n can b used as pain relievers, cosmetics, hair oil etc. There is only one breed in Emus. All the emus r from Australia n have no different breeds. Some people r just fooling new farmers saying there r 2 n more breeds in emus. I dont agree with them.
3.If we slaughter an emu 98% of it is useful n we can earn with the same(through meat, skin, oil, feathers etc.) Hence its booming not only in India but also in many countries. But due to some fraud people its failed in some states.
4 n 5. After 2 yrs u can get ur own chicks from parent emus. the same chicks can b either sold to new farmers r can b sold to slaughter houses. u need not cut the bird n sell their products separately.
6. As v r getting good profits by selling chicks itself many r not selling to slaughter houses. but its good to keep 10% of the production for slaughter houses for a better future. 7. Emus r very resistant of disease. Mostly all can b cured with a quick recognition.
8. As emu farming is in starting stage itself in many places u can buy incubators, feed machine, processing machine etc later with suggestions from well experienced seniors. 9. Check out whether water is drinkable at ur farm place first. If no, u have to fix a RO plant unit.

@vinod Kumar M.G, U can get all ur required answers from my previous postings, pls read r u can call me for detailed picture.

@RANJAY SHUKLA, Just spoken to vileena people, they r saying that unit will be started by august.

@SUNIL SINGH, @pandi Please read all my postings colored in orange to get complete info about emu farming r u can mail/call me for any more doubts.

@RANJAY SHUKLA, I am not the owner of Vileena Processing unit. I just passed the info i know to my knowledge. More over to construct a small house takes more time than v expect, starting a unit of more than 15-20 crores is not that fast v think. This may take much more time also due to unavoidable circumstances. Lets hope for the best n soon start of the unit.

@Well-wishers Dear friend in any business all may not success. This depends on manty factors. When i planned to start emu farming in 2008 i met many people n special the people who faced losses in emu farming. Got the complete problems they faced, we planned according to the mistakes done by failure farmers with a good planning of over coming d same n now v n many r in a good success in this field. Any way its good to c ur negative comment so that d new farmers will b more aware n will not do mistakes.

@AYYAPPAN, In 4 cents of land u cant start an emu farming. For a minimum flock of 10pairs emus require 2500 Sft . i hope 4 cents is 1742 sft only. Regarding buying emus u can buy from any places in ur TN, AP, Maharashtra etc.

@saijagan, Pls read all my postings colored in orange color to get complete info about farming, for u have any more further clarifications u can post here or mail me or call me.

@Sudheer, Last year we hav purchased eggs @1200/- to 2000/- depending upon the demand n period of laying. This year also u can expect the same. Worst case 1000/- per egg. If the rates come down also Only the thing is u get less profit but not loss definitely. We purchase eggs/chicks in bulk. As its not eggs season now i cant give u any quotation for price. Pls keep in mind its not the right way to get orders from any one without any Cash advance. Practically think 'in season if the rate hikes u will not sell them in lower rate same way if price slashes the buyer cant buy in high rate. then how can u take quotation for next year?

@RANJAY SHUKLA,
Global Incubators:09848276829- Satyanarayn reddy
Indian Incubators:09177849000- Srikanth

@Rajkumar Shaw, U need not wait for export orders for emus, we have good demand in our domestic mkt itself. Many states r starting emu farms newly. In our Ap there r more than 1500 farms n increasing by more than 100 per year. In rest of state many r interested n r growing very rapidly. More over from last one year 90% of new farmers r professionals/ Software engineers. So we can expect fast growth in this farming.
