Abstract
Energy consumption is a critical issue in the poultry industry, where the need for optimized environmental conditions must be balanced with operational costs and sustainability goals. This article synthesizes research exploring lighting compatibility, smart infrastructure integration, and the effects of rearing systems on broiler activity, to analyze strategies for improving energy efficiency in poultry housing. Findings reveal that LED lighting, automation through IoT, and data-driven environmental control systems offer substantial energy savings while supporting animal welfare and productivity. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential for achieving sustainable poultry production.
