Understanding Energy in Pig Production
Energy sources such as electricity, fuel and gas are a significant cost for pork producers, as prices have risen by 25 to 40 per cent in recent years. Energy sourced primarily from limited fossil fuel reserves also has an environmental cost. Alternative energy sources and methods for reducing energy use need to be considered in Australian piggeries to reduce energy costs and ensure environmentally sustainable production.
