Red kangaroo has the ability to freeze the development of an embryo until the previous joey is able to leave the pouch. This is known as diapause, and will occur in times of drought and in areas with poor food sources. The composition of the milk produced by the mother varies according to the needs of the joey.

Kangaroo meat little research has been provided about the nature of the kangaroo protein and its composite amino acid profile. Of the 22 amino acids within protein, ten are vital to human and animal well-being because they can't be manufactured in the body. These are called 'essential amino acids' and the primary research on Kangaroo muscle meat nutrition is from a seminal research paper by the primary Australian Government Science organisation CSIRO in 1970. Using this research paper as a primary data source Essential Amino acids have been calculated for dried Kangaroo muscle meat (DM) and compared to various other farmed meat
