Abstract
Very little research has been conducted on emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) in comparison to other types of poultry. Much of the information that is available to producers is very conflicting. Feed restriction for the emu chick for the first 4 d of life is a common practice among the emu industry; however, scientific research has not supported this practice. To the best of our knowledge, the effects of hydration supplements have not been investigated in the emu. Therefore, weights were recorded on emus fed Hydrogel-95 and were compared with emus that were not fed any supplements to determine if the supplement had any effect on the growth parameters of emu chicks. From these 2 field trials, we conclude that feeding Hydrogel-95 significantly decreases weight loss in emu chicks during the first week of life.
