Investigation of Energy Efficiency of Broiler Farms in Different Capacity Management Systems

An experiment was performed to investigate the energy efficiency and effect of poultry house size on energy productivity in 3 different capacity management systems. Capacities of houses were 10000(3 housings), 20000 (2 housings) and 28000 (1 housing) birds per production period and were assigned as HI, HII and HIII respectively. This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design ap...
