The effect of light color on chicken
Breeding practice shows that red, green, blue, yellow and other light colors have certain adverse effects on the physiological function and growth of chickens. However, in the breeding process of chickens, this problem has long been ignored by people, causing undue losses to chicken farms (households). Therefore, circumventing the harm of certain light colors to the flock has a positive effect on improving the efficiency of chicken raising.
1. Yellow light
Yellow Light can reduce the egg production rate of adult hens, and the hens can reduce the fertilization rate. Therefore, laying hens and breeding hens should be prohibited from lighting with yellow light. Yellow light can also induce chicken mites, so chickens of all ages should not be illuminated with yellow light.
2.Red light
Red light has the effect of inhibiting growth rate and delaying sexual maturity in chicks and young chickens at the growth stage. Therefore, chicks and young chickens should be prohibited from using red lighting. Red light has an adverse effect on the sexual function of the co*ck, which reduces the fertilization rate of the eggs, so the co*ckerel should not use red lighting.
3.Green light
Green light has an inhibitory effect on the laying performance of adult hens, which can lower the egg production rate, shorten the peak egg production period, lower the quality of the eggs, and lower the hatching rate and survival rate of the chicks. Therefore, laying hens and hens should not be illuminated with green light.
4.Blue light
Blue light is easy to induce chicken mites, reduce the disease resistance of chickens of all ages, and reduce the egg production rate of adult hens. Therefore, chickens should not be illuminated with blue light throughout their lives.
5. Clothes Color
The breeder often changes the color of the clothes and will also have an adverse effect on the chicken. When the chicken is accustomed to a certain color of the chicken staff, it will produce a sense of intimacy. When the breeder enters the chicken house, it will cause the chicken to be refreshed, the appetite is enhanced, and the feeding is increased. If the breeder suddenly changes the color of the clothing, the flock will have panic, turmoil, loss of appetite, reduced feed intake, affecting growth and laying eggs. Therefore, in addition to wearing a coat of light color and taboo, chicken breeders should not change clothes casually.
