Heating plays a crucial role in poultry farming, as it is essential to maintain high temperatures in the poultry houses to ensure the thermal comfort of the birds, especially during the start of the batch (32- 34°C) until they are fully feathered. Propane gas heating has been widely developed and adopted in poultry farming, mainly due to its ease of use (transport,  storage,  initial  investment  cost,

maintenance, efficiency). However, gas represents one of the main variable costs alongside feed and chicks, with fluctuating costs depending on market prices. For this reason, and in response to the challenge of better energy management for environmental sustainability, biomass heating emerges as an interesting alternative to propane gas, with lower carbon footprint and equivalent efficiency.
