Description
Résumé:ABSTRACT: The importance of lighting regimen is increasing with the industrialization of poultry production, as lighting has been intimately associated with not only the establishment of rhythm and synchronous physiology of broiler chickens, but also the secretion of hormones associated with broiler maturation and growth. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the effects of lighting management on growth performance, immune status, and welfare of broilers. An appropriate lighting regimen, including proper source of lighting, intensity, duration, and wavelength (color) of light, is crucial to improve the growth performance and welfare of broilers. In this review, we updated the impacts of different light regimens on health and growth performance of broilers.
