Where to buy emu oil

Emu Oil Information

Emu oil information – what is Emu oil?

Emu oil is a type of animal oil extracted from the Australian Emu bird, Dromaius novaehollandiae. Emu oil is made up by roughly 70% unsaturated fatty acids, 20% linoleic acid and 1-2% linolenic fatty acids. Among the unsaturated acids, the most commonly occurring type is oleic acid which is a mono-unsaturated fatty acid. The linoleic acid present in Emu oil is a type of Omega-6 fatty acid, while the linolenic fatty acid is a type of Omega-3 fatty acid.

It is hard to find comprehensive Emu oil information regarding the health benefits of Emu oil, because even though several research projects have been launched, more studies are needed before we can even begin to grasp exactly how Emu oil affects the human body. Anecdotal evidence points toward anti-inflammatory properties, quick penetration through the skin, an unusually low risk of clogged pores compared to other oils, increased wound and burn wound healing, reduced keloid scarring, and supreme moisturizing abilities. Research has also indicated than Emu oil may be able to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria without killing them.

Emu oil information – what is an Emu?

The Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is a large bird native to Australia. It is the only non-extinct member of the genus Dromaius and a distant relative to the African ostrich. The Emu is the second tallest bird in the world, and the largest bird in Australia. Just like the ostrich, the Emu cannot fly. It is instead an avid runner and can reach a speed of 50 km/h (over 30 mph) during shorter sprints. Even when traveling vast distances, it will usually keep up quite a fast tot.

Emu oil information – Emu oil production

An essential part of Emu oil information is of course its production. Commercial Emu farming is a relatively new innovation and the first commercial Emu farm dates back no longer than 1987. This farm was located in Western Australia, an area where you can still find plenty of wild Emu birds. The first slaughtering of a commercially farmed Emu took placed in 1990. Eventually, Emu oil information started to spread outside Australia and more and more farmers begun to raise Emu birds abroad. Today, the main Emu oil producers outside Australia are found in the United States, Peru and China. The there are currently around 1 million Emu birds in the United States alone. If you want to obtain more Emu oil information, you can contact the Emu Farmers Federation of Australia. In Australia, licensing is required since the wild Emus must be protected. Emu farming is based on captive bred bird, and Emu birds breed well in captivity. 

Emu oil information – Emu fat

Emu oil is produced from Emu fat. Emu farmers normally sell the Emu fat raw, in its unrendered form, but some offer crude oil, primary rendered oil, or even refined oil. This is important to take into account when looking at Emu oil information regarding price; comparing two farmers can be difficult because one may sell raw fat while the other sells highly refined oil. The price paid to farmers for Emu oil fluctuates a lot. In Australia, some buyers pay $10.00 per litre while others pay up to $50.00 per litre. Generally speaking, it is hard to obtain Emu oil for less than $25.00/L.
