“…1. Poultry farms according to the number of years in the farm production relative humidity, chemical environment, ventilation and lighting inside a chicken house would dramatically affect the growth, which should be kept within a reasonable scope [5]. The growth mainly depends on the internal environmental condition variation (heat or cold stress), which may impede the meat and eggs production [19].…”

Solar energy is a renewable, inexhaustible and affordable form of energy that could help mitigate climate change in poultry production systems. Its application as an emerging technology in poultry production systems is not common among the Nigerian poultry farmers. This paper presents a survey of poultry farms in Enugu State, Southeast, Nigeria. The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the status of solar energy application in Poultry production systems in the state. A survey was conducted on the methods farmers use in poultry day-old chicks brooding technology. A total of 60 poultry farms were selected at random for the survey. Data was collected using a 25 structured questionnaire items. It was observed that two types of poultry brooding methods were in use by the poultry farmers. These were conventional method (the use of fossil fuel and electric power), and non-conventional method (the use of solar energy) respectively. Survey results showed that out of 60 respondents 25% and 65% used kerosene, and combined electric/kerosene brooding methods in their brooding operations respectively. Only 10% of the respondents have used solar energy technology in their poultry brooding operations. The average mortality rates were 22.38%, 12.17% and 2.97% for kerosene, combined electric/kerosene, and solar energy respectively, while US$474.54, US$2,456.34 and US$49.1, were the respective average energy cost implications for each brooding methods eight times in a year. Solar energy was observed to have the lowest mortality rate and the least energy cost implications among the rest. Further response from the farmers showed inadequate power supply, greenhouse gas emission, fire outbreak and low profit margins characterized kerosene, and the combined electric/kerosene usage while solar energy application was observed to be environmentally and user friendly with low mortality rate and low energy cost. Solar energy utilization therefore appears the most attractive option because of the advantages it has over others. Its use in poultry brooding production will improve and enhance environmental air quality, healthy chicks’ production with higher profit margins. Its wide application in poultry production in Enugu State, Nigeria however, demands sensitization and educational awareness among the stakeholders.

“…Poultry farming consumes large quantities of fuel all over the world. This is due to the fact that the internal temperature, relative humidity, chemical environment, ventilation and lighting inside a chicken house would dramatically affect the growth of poultry (broilers), which should be kept within a reasonable scope [5].…”

“…Du et al [51] designed and test a smallscale ventilation integrated with wind turbine energy system for a poultry house in China, and concluded that the electrical energy could be steadily produced 270 W/ year by the wind turbine system, meanwhile, approximately 2074kWh/year renewable energy could be obtained, making up around 10.2% of entire energy demand and leading to 3.01 tons/year GHG emission reduction. Kapica et al [52] developed a hybrid solar-wind turbine system for a chicken shed in the Central Europe. It is obtained that the system is conducive to a CO 2 emission reduction ranging from 0.11 to 0.22 kg/per kg in comparison with typical heating system.…”

Poultry farming is one of high energy consumption and energy-intensive industries that requires significant amount of fuel fossil to provide the desired internal temperature for health and production level of chicken, which results in high running cost and growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Renewable and sustainable energy technologies are being employed in the area of poultry farming in order to achieve energy saving, GHG emission reduction and to some extent supply potential selective benefits for farmers. Therefore, it is very necessary for generalizing the state-of-the-art technologies including the solar photovoltaic, solar photovoltaic/thermal, ventilation and wind turbine, air/water/ground sources heat pump and thermal energy storage. It is demonstrated that the system energy saving could achieve up to 85% with a payback time of 3–8 years, compared to the conventional heating system.

“…Choi, Salim et al [5] studied the geothermal of heat pump for heating of poultry house, the geothermal of heat pump allows the lesser cost of heating, developed the production performance with decline amount of the gases discharges. Kapica, J,et al [7] estimated the decrease of CO2 by using the solar-wind hybrid system for heating the house of poultry hey discovered that the larger system provides a greater CO2 drop ,however the energy utilization ratio reductions .

In the recent time the EAHE is widely used as a passive cooling and heating technique due to the hug thermal potential of earth as and as a result of energy crisis. In the past years many researches published including studying this type of heat exchanger and using it in many applications and many locations with different climate conditions. Also these researches investigated the most affecting parameters. In this paper a review is made to survey the published literature is this filed to shed a light on the research in this subject
