Lighting is especially important for the growth of chickens, mainly reflected in the following aspects.   First, promote healthy growth of chicks.  In the brooding period, lighting not only enables the chicks to see drinking water and feed, but also promotes their healthy growth and improves the survival rate. In the first week, the lighting time can be up to 12 hours a day, with the increase of age, the lighting time gradually decreases, and the lighting intensity gradually decreases, which can prevent the occurrence of pecking.   Second, control the time of sexual maturity. For breeding chickens and hens, reasonable lighting can control their sexual maturity time. To control growth and development and prevent premature sexual maturity ‌, the lighting time of chickens should be short and should not be gradually extended.   Third, increase egg production rate. During the laying period, the length, intensity and cycle of lighting time will affect the physiological rhythm and production performance of hens. It usually takes 16 hours of light a day to reach the full laying potential of hens.   Fourth, affect weight and health. Lighting also affects weight and time to sexual maturity. Reasonable lighting can control the weight of cocks, timely sexual maturity. In addition, lighting also has an important impact on chickens' social interaction, rest and feeding. Reasonable lighting can ensure that chickens get enough feeding, drinking, social interaction and rest.   In summary, lighting is particularly important for the growth of chickens, and reasonable control of lighting time and intensity can significantly affect the growth and development of chickens, sexual maturity, egg production rate and other aspects.    

What are the effects of light on different species of chicken?    Chicks and Broilers  The main function of light is to make them familiar with the environment, and carry out normal drinking and eating. In order to increase the feeding time of broilers and increase the rate of weight gain, the light regime of 23 hours a day and 1 hour of darkness or intermittent light regime ‌ is generally adopted. The use of Chicken Farm LED Poultry Light Bulb can ensure the uniform brightness of the chicken house environment and promote the drinking and eating of chickens.   Grown chickens The sexual maturity time of chickens can be controlled by reasonable illumination. Reducing light exposure can delay sexual maturity, make the weight of chickens reach the target at sexual maturity, and improve egg production potential. Using Chicken Farm LED Poultry Light Bulb increases the light, shortens the sexual maturity time of chickens, so that chickens can reach sexual maturity in time.    Hens ‌ Increasing light and maintaining a considerable length of light time (more than 15 hours) can promote normal ovulation and egg production of hens, and enable hens to get enough time for feeding, drinking, socializing and rest, and improve production efficiency. The use of Poultry Lighting LED Poultry Light Bulb used in combination with Smart Poultry Lighting Control System can increase the duration of light and promote hen ovulation and egg production.   Cocks The weight of cocks can be controlled by proper lighting and timely sexual maturity can be achieved. After 20 weeks of age, about 15 hours of light a day facilitates sperm production and increases semen volume.  

It is widely believed that 24-hour light maximizes the performance and health of chicks. But is 24-hour light really good for raising chicks?   Numerous studies have shown that chicks, like all living things, are born with a 24-hour body clock. This clock can be seen at work by observing the eating and drinking activity of chicks during the first few days of their lives. Even if 24-hour light is provided, the chicks will still drink and eat more during the day ‌ than at night.   What are the specific effects of 24-hour light on chicks?   1. Circadian Rhythm: Chicks show nearly identical circadian rhythms during the first few days of life, with significantly higher water and food intake during the day than at night. This pattern persists even with 24 hours of light. 2. The Need for Dark Periods: Studies have shown that poultry need to have at least four hours of continuous darkness to really benefit from the dark period. Without dark periods, chicks' circadian rhythms may become out of sync.   Alternative Solution In order to promote feeding and growth of chicks, strategies can be used to gradually reduce the time of light: Week 1: 24 hours light. ‌Week 2: 20 hours of light. ‌Week 3: 18 hours of light. ‌Week 4: 16 hours of light. ‌From week 5: Taper down to 8 hours of light per day ‌ In addition, the light can be stopped from time to time for 1 hour at night to exercise the adaptability of the chicks to the dark and avoid the upset of the chickens due to power failure.   Using our Hot-selling LED Poultry Light Bulb and Smart Poultry Lighting Control System, you can easily control and adjust the lighting time, achieve intelligent management of lights, and better care for the growth of chicks.     Special Notice: The information and picture above are from the Internet, not original.  

In modern society, more and more attention is paid to saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. With the increasing demand for energy conservation and emission reduction in the global market, the market demand for high light efficiency chips is also growing.   What are high light efficiency chips? High-efficiency chips ‌are those that produce more light output for the same amount of power and are commonly used in lighting and display devices. This kind of chip has the advantages of high luminous efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, long life, etc., and is a high-performance component commonly used in modern electronic equipment.   What are the technical characteristics of high light efficiency chips? 1. High Luminous Efficiency: Can efficiently convert electric energy into light energy, reduce energy consumption. 2. Energy Saving and Environmental Protection: The use of high light efficiency chips can significantly reduce energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. 3. Long Life: Compared with traditional light sources, high light efficiency chips have a longer life, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs. 4. Small size: High light efficiency LED lights are small in size and suitable for installation needs of various application scenarios.   High Light Efficiency LED Farming Light In terms of lighting, high light efficiency LED lamps have better energy-saving effects and longer service life than traditional incandescent lamps and energy-saving lamps. For example, after the use of high light efficiency chips, our LED Poultry Farming Light products have been upgraded to High Light Efficiency LED Poultry Farming Light products. It can efficiently convert electric energy into light energy, reduce the loss of electric energy into heat energy, improve the overall energy efficiency, and thus reduce energy consumption.

This is an outstanding example of Environmental Friendly LED Poultry Farming Light.    

       The importance of the color of light to chickens is mainly reflected in its impact on the physiological function, growth, development and egg production rate. The specific effects of different light colors on chickens are as follows.         White Light        White light can promote the growth and development of chickens, increase muscle, fat and other components, improve body weight, and also promote the laying rate, laying amount and hatching rate.         Red Light        Red light can relieve tension in chickens and promote sleep, but it can inhibit the growth rate of chicks and young chickens, delay sexual maturity, and reduce the fertilization rate of breeding cocks.         Green Light        Green light can regulate the body metabolism and immune system of chickens, but it can inhibit the laying performance of adult hens and reduce the laying rate and hatching rate.         Blue Light        Blue light can improve chicken immunity and promote growth, but it is easy to induce chicken pecking, and reduce the disease resistance of chickens at all ages.         Yellow Light and Orange Light        These colored lights increase sexual maturity and egg weight, but yellow lights decrease egg production in adult hens.             In summary, the importance of the color of light to chickens lies in its influence on many aspects such as physiological function, growth, development and egg production rate of chickens. Reasonable selection and use of different colors of light can effectively improve the efficiency of raising chickens.              

Poultry house gradual lighting is a gradually changing lighting pattern that simulates the light changes of sunrise and sunset, allowing birds to gradually adapt to different light environments. This technology can be achieved by gradually changing the intensity and color temperature of the light, so that the bird can better adapt to environmental changes during the growth process, thereby improving its production performance and health.   The principle of gradual lighting in poultry houses is based on the physiological and psychological adaptability of birds to changes in light. The physiological and psychological state of birds will be affected by the sunshine time and light intensity, so in the process of sunrise and sunset, birds will gradually adapt to the changes in light, so as to maintain a relatively stable state. The gradual lighting of poultry houses takes advantage of this physiological adaptation.   The advantages of gradual lighting in poultry houses are as follows. 1. Birds gradually adapt to light, reducing stress and fatigue. 2. Improve the immunity of birds, increase the appetite and digestive ability of birds. 3. Improve production efficiency and reduce feeding costs. 4. Improve the growth rate and meat quality of poultry. 5. Environmental protection and energy saving, reduce energy consumption. 6. Reduce behavior abnormalities and aggression. 7. Improve the birds' routine. 8. Improve the quality of life for birds.   In summary, the gradual lighting of poultry houses has many advantages over the traditional fixed lighting mode. For both commercial poultry farming and small-scale free-range and domestic poultry farming, gradual lighting in poultry house is an effective light management method. There is no doubt that gradual lighting in poultry houses is changing the future of poultry house lighting.
