Scanned cartilages of a number of livestock eg emu, crocodile, kangaroo, ostrich to complement the supply of shark cartilage that is purported to have anti-cancer properties. Identified issues that prospective animal industries experience as development occurs. Published reports on strategies, particularly related to nutrition, for emu for meat and oil production. Reported on the therapeutic properties of emu oil. Using rat modules anti-inflammatory properties of the oil were demonstrated.
Research continues on identifying the potent constituents.
Experiments showed limited evidence of antimicrobial effects of oil samples and there was insufficient responses to support tissue regeneration properties. Obtained sound scientific data on the implications of declawing emus by measuring the effects on gait, behaviour and histological examination for the presence or absence of neuromas. Published reports on the feasibility of viable enterprises for silkworms, hares and snails. Published an analysis and business plan on the marketing of quality buffalo meat in Southern Australia. Analysed the potential and scope of camel racing in Australia in light of public interest, increasing prize-money and the possibility of support from international interests.
