Growing broilers to slaughter weight also requires energy for heating, air conditioning, and maintaining the poultry houses, for supplying water and sawdust, and for removing and composting waste. These requirements vary widely with location (above all, due to summer air conditioning and winter heating), and hence when combined with the energy cost of delivered feed a wide range of volumes is produced—from 50 to 300 milliliters per kilogram of edible meat.[33]
