This publication is intended to point out inefficient energy uses and, it is hoped, to provide techniques or suggestions to reduce consumption by making more efficient use of conventional energy (electricity, oil, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), or natural gas). This could include improving system designs and/or management; changing systems; or reusing energy that has been dumped, a common practice when energy was inexpensive. This book also contains trouble-shooting tables that link all aspects of swine housing together in an easy to read format.
This publication is a comprehensive look at energy usage and efficiency on farms. Each section or chapter uses simple practical examples to drive the message home.
