Poultry management is associated with light due to
positive effects of photoreceptors on animal’s growth, immunity and
homeostasis. Colors influence the efficiency of poultry performance and
behavior. Light-emitting diode (LED) can use for providing monochromatic light
source. In this trial, two hundred Ross 308 broiler chicks were studied in four
different light groups as follows; White (Control), Red (RL), green (GL) and
blue (BL) during 42 trial days. At the end of the study, the serum Superoxide
dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) and
malondialdehyde (MDA) enzyme activities were measured to evaluate the
oxidant-antioxidant balance. The oxidant marker MDA was found the highest value
in group RL (p:0.0001 ; 9.24±0.33). On the other hand, in group GL, all
antioxidant parameters were found the highest value (p<0.05). Also, SOD and GPx values were increased in
group GL (SOD: 150.61±9.14 ; GPx: 186.96±10.50)
than BL (SOD: 139.29±5.19 ; GPx: 160.02±3.15) statistically (p<0.05).
The results showed that red light may be a stressor, and on the contrary, green
light may be a positive monochromatic color for growth, oxidant-antioxidant
balance and homeostasis for broilers.
