LIVESTOCK HEATING AND SANITATION

Livestock Facility Heating & Sanitation

Propane heats animal containment areas in winter, sanitizes dairy parlors, and provides warm baths for horses. Here’s why it’s an efficient, sustainable heating option for producers:

• Standard propane water heaters typically cost half as much to run as electric ones, saving significantly.
• Propane incinerators offer a simpler, cleaner, cheaper way to dispose of animal waste versus composting.
• In poultry operations, propane brooders provide even, efficient heat over larger areas. Propane heaters also remain reliable during outages.
• Propane tankless water heaters produce 37% fewer greenhouse gases than electric.
• Propane-fueled anaerobic digesters convert animal/plant waste into renewable energy to power ~80 homes, reducing landfill waste and emissions.

Poultry House Heating

For years, poultry producers have used trusted propane to heat buildings. But propane also powers sanitizers for cleaning. To heat and clean with one fuel, choose propane.

More reasons propane is smart for poultry operations:

• Propane brooders efficiently provide even heat over larger areas, keeping chicks healthy.
• Propane heaters stay on during outages.
• Propane sanitizers kill pathogens and reduce ammonia, controlling disease.
• Propane infrared brooders cut fuel costs 15-25% versus furnaces, saving significantly.
• Propane sanitizers offer an effective, residue-free alternative to chemical disinfectants.
