Energy Estimator: Animal Housing is the fourth tool in the suite of awareness
tools the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has developed to
increase energy awareness in agriculture. This NRCS energy awareness tool
is designed to inform you of the energy cost centers and help you estimate the

NRCS technical specialists have developed energy cost models for housing dairy
cows, swine, and poultry. This tool does not provide operation-specific
recommendations. It evaluates options based on user input. To start enter your
