Every poultry grower knows that the costs of propane and electricity are increasing steeply. The question is, what can a grower do to keep energy costs from eating away all farm profit? Fortunately, there are some answers to this question and this newsletter focuses on some of those answers.

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.
