Most of the time if it does begin to rain, the emu just sit down in the field that they are in. Even during the worst of storms, emu will sit down in the field, ormay go into the shed. Emu are large animals and require a proper diet. Emu are fed daily. Some breeders measure out the proper amount of feed for each emu and set it out for each one.
Some emu are free fed.
This means that feed is put into a large bowl or trough and the animal feeds itself from this. It is important that emu have the right food. An improper diet causes them to have less meat and fat. Breeders don't use any special equipment when raising emu. Because of this, they require very little land.
