Poultry And Ratite Nutrition

In recent years ‘Emu’ farming has gained momentum and spreading at a fast rate in different parts of the country. Since it is a newly introduced avian species for meat and egg production, people are not fully aware with the feeds and feeding of domesticated ratites rearing in extensive or semiintensive systems. I remember that for more than half a century few families foraging their guinea fowl and turkeys on Allahabad Mirzapur road in Utter Pradesh was not uncommon. However, these birds are casually mentioned in syllabus.
