Determination of Fuel Consumption for Poultry Farms in Balıkesir by Heating and Cooling Degree Days

Asiye ASLAN

Poultry farming is an important activity in Balıkesir. Approximately 12% of broilers produced in Turkey are produced in the province. There are about a hundred facilities within the provincial borders including the center and districts. In this study, heating and cooling degree days (HDD and CDD) were investigated for poultry farms using the degree-days method. Determination of HDD and CDD is important in terms of calculating the amount of energy needed during heating or cooling. Meteorological data for 2005-2018 obtained from the Turkish State Meteorological Service were used. The equilibrium temperature, on which the calculations were based, was the temperature required by broilers during the 6-week production season (Tbase= 31, 29, 25, 23.50, 22.50 and 20.50°C). Heating and cooling costs were calculated per unit area, according to the use of natural gas, coal, LPG, fuel oil in heating and electrical energy in cooling. The results showed that the HDD and CDD values varied between 3725 and 2554 and between 237 and 25, respectively. The lowest fuel costs were obtained in the Edremit district when natural gas was used, while the highest fuel costs were obtained in the Dursunbey district when LPG was used. This study is expected to contribute to the literature and guide investments to be made in this region within this field.
