Effects of Monochromatic Illuminance From Light Emitting Diodes (Led) on Broiler Performance

Abstract

The objective of the current study was to determine the effects of monochromatic lighting on female broiler performance for 42 d rearing period. 480 female broiler chicks (Ross-308) were divided into three lighting treatment groups in four replicates each. All birds were housed three independent rooms previously divided by wooden bars into 12 sealed cells of 4 m2 (40 chicks each one). Average light intensity was 10 lux for all groups. A 23-h photoperiod was provided for first 7 d, followed by an 18- h photoperiod through to 42 d. Lighting treatments were: 1- control daylight (mini incandescent light bulbs for 42 days); 2- 560 nm Green LED (G) for first 3 wks and 480 nm Blue LED lamps (B) lamps for remaining 3 weeks; named G-B group and last group; 3- G for first 3 wks and G-B mix for remaining 3 weeks; named G-GB MIX group. At weekly intervals, mortality, body weight (BW), live weight gain (LWG) and feed consump-tion (FC) was recorded on group basis. A significant increase in BW, LWG and FC was observed in broilers reared under G-B and G-GB mix lighting compared to control group. G-B and G-GB mix significantly increased carcass weight compared to control group. We suggest that green light from hatching to 21 d of rearing period and switching it to blue or green-blue mix emitted from monochromatic (LED) lamps beneficially influence performance traits of female broilers.
