A Comparison
Australian Emu oil that is
exported to the U.S. is, in our opinion, superior in quality to U.S. oil for the following
reasons:
Australian Emus |
United States Emus |
| Primarily free ranged |
Primarily raised in pens and farms |
| Natural diet resulting in increased
resistance to disease |
Corn, meat meal, and hydrogenated oils in
their diet |
| No antibiotics necessary |
Exposed to antibiotics |
| No growth hormones |
Exposed to growth hormones |
No worming medication
necessary |
Exposed to worming
medications |
| Australian Emus consume a diet
that is almost exclusively, and in some cases exclusively, made up of natural leaves,
bushes and insects that provide the Emus with a resistance that birds in the U.S.
generally do not have, thus eliminating the need for medications. It becomes apparent
from the above chart how inferior genetics could result from generation to generation in
U.S.-raised Emus. |
Both Australian and U.S.
Emus produce different types of oil when raised in different geographic areas. Some of this is due to dietary differences, some
due to external. All Australian oil, in our
opinion, is of a superior quality. Some lots
of oil that may vary in color appear to be even more biologically active than other lots. There is a biologically active yellow-colored
component present in most Emu oil, but more abundant in some lots of oil. There have been patents granted by the US
government (to a group of Australian researchers) relating to the anti-inflammatory
capabilities of this yellow-colored component. These
Australians have conducted over a decade of
research on all facets of Emu oil and the genetics of Emus.
This yellow shading is very common among batches of Australian oil.
