Abstract: Availability of energy, particularly petroleum-based fuels, is a serious national concern. A long run problem exists, and a more serious short run supply shortage is possible. Energy is an essential part of producing, processing, marketing, and distributing animal products. Specific policies and practices affecting energy usage in the animal products industry are examined. Short, intermediate, and long run conservation measures are identified. Planning for and meeting an energy crisis is discussed, along with three sets of guides or suggested policies relevant to the animal products industry.
