Poultry growers across the U.S. are looking for every possible way to reduce energy costs. If natural gas is available, given current and projected price relationships between propane and natural gas, converting to natural gas offers an excellent opportunity to decrease annual energy costs for heating and brooding.

Mission: Providing practical, up to date information on design and management of modern poultry environmental control systems and housing, useful to poultry producers, flock supervisors, and industry managers. Poultry housing, energy, ventilation, economics, and management problems are usually intertwined and very complex.  In trying to find solutions to these major grower and industry problems, we at Auburn University have successfully used a teamwork approach for several years. The Auburn Poultry Housing Team collaborating in this work includes Jim Donald - Ag Engineer, Gene Simpson - Ag Economist, and Jesse Campbell - Advisor I, Natural Resources. Feel free to contact any team member if you have questions relating to their areas of expertise. Please note, however, that team members cannot provide design recommendations or diagnose specific problems through email.
