Preference of W-36 Pullets between a Commercial LED Light and a Typical CFL Light
1.Introduction More energy-efficient, readily-dimmable and long-lasting light-emitting diode (LED) lights are increasingly finding applications in poultry production facilities today.Extensive research on poultry lighting has been conducted over the past several decades, which has contributed to the improved energy efficiency in lighting and management practices of modem egg production.However, there are still many aspects that remain to be fully investigated and understood,especially considering the emergence of various LED lights intended for poultry production.As light plays an important role in birds behaviors, development, production performance, health,and well-being, it is of socio-economic and scientific values to evaluate light preference of pullets, particularly with regards to light spectrum and light type.Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the light preference of W-36 pullets between a commercial LED light (Dim-to-Red) and a typical CFL light.
