Sistemas agroindustriais integrados: uma análise por meio da entropia de informação

Using the mathematical theory of the information, this article analyzes four agroindustry systems of bioenergy production: the industry of alcohol from sugar-cane in Brazil, the industry of corn alcohol and the industry of biodiesel in United States, besides the industry of manioc flour from the Amazonian. Based on an important group of empiric information, evaluations of energy efficiency for different organization levels of the systems are made.Utilizando a teoria matemática da informação, este artigo analisa quatro sistemas agroindustriais de produção de bioenergia: a indústria de álcool de cana-de-açúcar do Brasil, a indústria de álcool de milho e a indústria de biodiesel dos Estados Unidos, além da indústria de farinha de mandioca da Amazônia. Com base em um importante conjunto de informações empíricas, são feitas avaliações de eficiência energética para diferentes níveis de organização dos sistemas

Energy Use and Conservation in the Poultry and Egg Industry

Estimates of energy use in the poultry and egg industry are discussed by commodity, type of fuel, season, and function. In 1974, the 146.5 trillion Btu’s used in poultry production and marketing cost producers almost $550 million. Although the efficiency of energy use in this industry has increased in the last decade, energy conservation measures discussed in this report can yield further substantial savings. Development and implementation of new technologies may reduce the use of critical forms of energy in the future. This study is intended to provide a basis for further energy research in the poultry and egg industry and to serve as a prototype for similar energy studies on other agricultural industries
