Abstract

In the United States. 146.5 trillion Btu's of energy were used in the production and marketing of poultry products in 1974, at a cost of $550 million [4, p. 261. Processing plant operations accounted for about $130 million or 24 percent of these costs. Because of increased mechanization and higher sanitation standards, the poultry processing industry has become more energy intensive over time. Expanding volume and increased emphasis on further processed products also have contributed to greater energy use.
