Farmers know that laying hens are visually sensitive animals, and their light receiving system is different from other animals. Different light will cause changes in certain biochemical indicators and nutrient absorption in the body, thereby affecting the physical development of chickens. And production performance. Different lights of fully automatic chicken raising equipment have different effects on chickens.
Many experienced farmers have found that the blue and green light in the lighting equipment can promote the growth of chickens. Orange and red light can enhance the reproductive performance of chickens; red light has a soothing effect, can reduce or suppress habituation, and a single light source can increase the survival rate of chicks.
The energy-saving lamps currently on the market are vacuum devices that require the injection of phosphor mercury to emit light. Therefore, ultraviolet and infrared rays are generated during the light-emitting process. Studies have shown that the amount of ultraviolet light absorbed by the human body is equal to one hour in the sun when working under fluorescent lights for a day. Ultraviolet rays can damage the body’s immune system, kill white blood cells, destroy the chemical bonds between nucleic acids and proteins, and cause genetic mutations. LED lights are light-emitting diodes. There is no ultraviolet or infrared in the light, and it is a healthy light source that is harmless to humans and animals.
The working conditions of fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps and LED lamps are different, so the ionizing radiation produced is also different. Fluorescent lamps and energy-saving lamps are in a high-frequency and high-voltage state when they are working, which will bring different degrees of electromagnetic radiation to the chicken body. The LED lamp adopts DC low voltage working mode, which does not produce electromagnetic radiation, nor does it produce electromagnetic radiation to people and chickens.
