One of the methods to optimize energy consumption in the broiler industry is to insulate the roof and walls of the poultry hall. Economic analysis of this optimization method guarantees its applicability. Accordingly in this study considers heat loss by considering a sample broiler breeding hall. The roof and its walls are calculated in insulated and uninsulated. Due to heat loss the amount of fuel needed for it, is obtained. The results of this study show that the insulation of this chicken hall in Iran due to the cheapest price of natural gas in the world is not completely economical. In the Iranian broiler industry, about sixty percent of the total annual consumption of natural gas (eight hundred and forty million cubic meters) is related to the heat loss of poultry walls by insulating the roof and walls of poultry halls. This amount of fuel is reduced to two hundred and ten million cubic meters per year. The price of fuel saved due to poultry farming insulation in the whole country, based on the global rate, is equal to two hundred and sixty-five million U.S dollars. If the government pays this amount in the form of grants to subsidize poultry farmers, the industry will not have to burn the same amount annually.
