Carcase characteristics of emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
British Poultry Science, 19991. Six emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) were slaughtered at 13 months of age in order to determine carcase, by-product and muscle yields. 2. Emus had a lower percentage of hot carcase weight (52%) and total fat (28%) to body weight but a higher lean meat to carcase weight (69%) than ostriches or rheas. 3. The amount of trimming of connective tissue from

Characterization of cecal microbiota of the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Veterinary Microbiology, 2013 Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae), large flightless ratites native to Australia, are farmed for their fat and meat. They are omnivorous and feed on a wide variety of plants and insects. Despite having a relatively simple gastrointestinal tract and a short digesta retention time, emus are able to digest a significant portion of the ingested dietary ...

Characterization of new microsatellite markers derived from sequence databases for the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2008 The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), a member of ratite family, is native to Australia and has been introduced to other countries worldwide. In this work, 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for emu from public sequences ...

Gangliosidosis in Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Avian Diseases, 1995A 6-month-old female emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) died following acute central nervous system signs. Hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained sections revealed that neurons of the brain were distended with nonstaining 1-to-2-microns vacuoles. Ultrastructural examination of the affected neurons revealed numerous membranous cytoplasmic bodies (MCBs) similar in ...

“TERATOCARCINOMATOSIS” IN AN EMU (DROMAIUS NOVAEHOLLANDIAE)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2015An adult female emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) with no previous abnormal clinical signs was found dead in its stall. A postmortem examination revealed carcinomatosis of unknown origin. Histopathology identified the masses as teratomas with malignant transformation by the presence of poorly differentiated tissue and dissemination throughout the coelomic

Tuberculosis in Commercial Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Avian Diseases, 1993Extensive granuloma formation typical of tuberculosis was observed in a mature female emu. The diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of acid-fast bacilli in lesions and culture of a Mycobacterium with growth characteristics resembling M. avium from liver tissue.

Heritability and Biochemistry of Gangliosidosis in Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Avian Diseases, 1997The progeny of two emu breeder pairs, which had a history of producing offspring with gangliosidosis, were monitored for 15 mo. DNA fingerprinting revealed that individuals in each breeder pair were not related to each other. One breeder pair had 13 progeny that reached or exceeded the age of 1 mo, and six of these progeny developed gangliosidosis. The

Apparent Selenium Toxicity in Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Avian Diseases, 1995A commercial emu breeder experienced high embryonic mortality during the 1992-93 breeding season, apparently associated with high levels of selenium. The feed was a mixture of catfish food supplemented with a vitamin E and selenium premix. The mixture contained an average of 1.4 ppm selenium.

Unusual Gangliosidosis in Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1997Abstract: A previous study has demonstrated an unusual gangliosidosis in emu that is characterized by the accumulation of gangliosides in the brain tissues with GM3 and GM1 predominating. To provide insight into this unique disorder of emu gangliosidosis, the current study focused on analysis of neutral glycosphingolipids and gangliosides from brain ...

Osmotic adaptation of the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 19911 The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is well adapted to the Australian semi-desert, although it has a limited renal concentrating ability. One problem is the balance between the ability to resorb ions and water from ureteral urine during its reflux into the coprodeum and rectum (colon), and the rate of ureteral inflow.
