Resumen
Descripción
This study examines the economic feasibility
of substituting electricity generated on dairy
farms by methane gas system; for electricity purchased
from local utility companies. Electric
power is an important input in the operation of
a dairy farm. The central question was which
source of this input was the cheaper? Herd sizes
included in the study were 50, 100, 200 and 300
CONS. The cost of methane generated electricity
is compared with the cost of purchased electricity.
Results are presented by size of dairy
herd.
