Determination of Fuel Consumption for Poultry Farms in Balıkesir by Heating and Cooling Degree Days
Poultry farm facilities in Balıkesir Province have an important place economically. There are about a hundred facilities within the provincial borders, including city center and districts. In this study, heating and cooling degree days (HDD and CDD) was investigated for poultry farms using degree-day method, for regions where there are a large number of poultry farms in Balıkesir Province (City Center, Bandırma, Edremit, Dursunbey, Susurluk, Burhaniye, Ayvalık, Bigadiç, Manyas, Erdek, Gönen). Meteorological data of 2005-2018 obtained from the Directorate General of Meteorology was used in the study. Heating or cooling needs of poultry farms were determined by equilibrium temperatures. 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 sum of the number of HDDs and CDDs over a year varies between 3725-2554 and 237-25, respectively. The lowest fuel costs were identified in the Edremit district with the use of natural gas, while the highest fuel costs were measured in the Dursunbey district with the use of LPG. The study is expected to contribute to the literature and to guide the investments to be made in this region within this field.
