Recently tagged as pests<\/a> of the Australian Outback, kangaroos provide quite the novel eco-friendly meat protein.<\/p>\n

As Australia continues to clear ranges and expand its farmlands, this in turn has provided more grasslands for kangaroos to feed and support larger populations called mobs.<\/p>\n

However, the Australian rangeland supports a wide variety of animals aside from wild kangaroos. Other animals that rely on grasslands need to compete with these marsupials for food which can lead to fluctuating grazing opportunities for both free-range and domesticated sheep and cattle.<\/p>\n

Recent efforts by the Australian government has led to the decision to keep the kangaroo population under control<\/a> in order to keep rangelands sustainable for all species relying on grazing.<\/p>\n

And yet, such efforts have also led to the discovery of kangaroo meat as a high protein novel meat that\u2019s great for both humans and dogs alike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

A rising opportunity<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Just recently, farmers have started tapping on the economic potential of kangaroo meat. Compared to sheep and cattle, kangaroos pose lesser impact on the environment and need lesser food and water to maintain compared to their ovine and bovine counterparts, making them a viable source for meat.<\/p>\n

On the onset, harvesting wild kangaroos helps preserve the environment \u2013 making it more sustainable \u2013 while providing pets with a nutritious low-fat meat that is high in conjugated linoleic acids.<\/p>\n

Check out these other eco-friendly novel meats.<\/a><\/p>\n

Why should pet owners be interested in conjugated linoleic acid or CLA? Well, CLA has been found to support many body functions important to overall health and fitness, especially among dogs, as well as inhibiting obesity, helping owners to manage their pet\u2019s weight and overall cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n
