Spectrum Lighting During Pullet Rearing and Its Impact on Subsequent Production Performance in Layers

Spectrum Lighting During Pullet Rearing and Its Impact on Subsequent Production Performance in Layers

SUMMARY: Artificial lighting is used to control growth and reproduction. Lighting protocols are defined by the quantity (photoperiod, intensity) and the quality (wavelength) of light. Recently, with the introduction of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, interest has grown in investigating the effect...
