Optimization of dietary protein to energy level for commercial emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) production to maximize fat yield
This research was conducted to study the optimum dietary protein and energy ratio of finishing diets to sub-adult emu birds for greater fat accretion. The research was done at African Emu Ranch in Muldersdrift, Gauteng. Twenty-six, four to five months old emu birds were reared to an average target …

The metabolic profile of cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue from captive emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) raised in northern Colorado: implications for assessing muscle health for emus with splayed-leg disorder
Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) are native Australian flightless birds commonly farmed in North America for oil and meat. The emu industry has grown in popularity, though the physiology of farm-raised emus has not been studied extensively. Emus are efficient at both anaerobic sprinting and aerobic, …

Exploring the Soft Tissue of the Archosaurian Feeding System through Evolutionary and Developmental Temporal Space
… the musculoskeletal system of the jaws of emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) to make inferences about potential influences of feeding function on the feeding apparatus during development. I combined microCT scanning, including contrast-stained CT scanning, and 3D geometric morphometric analyses to …
