WHAT MATTERS TO 
POULTRY PRODUCTION WITH LIGHTING?


Light Distribution

An optimal light distribution is crucial for poultry production and animal welfare. Bad light distribution may cause a poor spread of broilers that possibly causes clustering. The clustering will increase competition for food and water, lead to a bad bird heat distribution, which will raise heating costs. Good light distribution will decrease mortality, increase animal welfare and uniform growth.  



Photoperiod & Light Intensity

Each type of poultry requires different photoperiod(duration of light) and light intensity (amount of light). The photoperiod and light intensity have to be adjusted according to the type of poultry. Right duration and amount of light will have a positive effect on poultry production.



Chicken Vision

Chicken's Eyes are different from the human's. The chicken is a four-cone animal that can see ultraviolet raysred lightblue light and green light while the human eye can only see the spectrum of red blue and green colors chicken can see more

visible light. Chicken growth is affected by durationintensity and spectrum of light. Lighting plays a very important role in meat and egg production and their quality.

Blue Color
Helps growth of chicken at a later age by elevating plasma androgens keeps birds calm decreases movement when catching the chicken make it not frightened to improve the quality of chicken meat.

Red Color
Increase food intake and weight reduce pecking activate movement stimulate sexual maturity improve egg production.

Green Color
Increases growth rate at an early age by enhancing proliferation of skeletal muscle satellite cells.






Flicker

lt is vital to use 100% flicker-free lighting in poultry barn. Flicker is the major source of stress for poultry which will cause bad appetite and poor growth reduce laying rate increase mortality rate.



Dimmability

The lighting for poultry must be evenly dimmable to simulate the sunrise and sunset. lf the lights are suddenly switched on/off the poultry will be scared.
