Why is the lighting system so important for raising laying hens?
Lighting is very critical to the breeding of laying hens. It plays a vital role in keeping chickens alive and healthy. This is why raising laying hens in indoor facilities requires a specialized lighting solution to achieve the best results. The Benwei lighting LED lighting system suitable for laying hen farms can increase egg production, reduce laying hen mortality, extend peak production time, and improve cage, floor, and diversification.
The spectrum that humans are most sensitive to is green and yellow light, and people are more comfortable seeing these colors than blue and red light. There are four spectra with the highest sensitivity in the poultry spectrum, namely green light, blue light, red light and ultraviolet light.
As early as 10 years ago, Shenzhen Benwei Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. pointed out that the life span of chickens raised under full-spectrum lighting is twice that of ordinary intensively farmed chickens when producing breeding lighting systems, and they are less aggressive. Benwei Lighting Lighting systems specific to laying hens and breeders are designed with deep red saturated light, with the addition of blue and green spectrums (for poultry vision). Results have demonstrated that the red spectrum stimulates hypothalamic and pineal oscillators in chickens, helping to maintain circadian rhythms and promote sexual maturation. It also stimulates the release of two reproductive-regulating hormones that are essential for sexual maturation and daily egg production. Coupled with their less aggressive nature, anal pecking behavior can be reduced.
The Benwei lighting laying hen lighting system can also simulate the spectral sensitivity curve of poultry and provide technology to freely switch the ratio of red and white spectra to improve productivity. Coupled with the Benwei lighting intelligent dimmer system; customers can freely control the intensity, photoperiod and chromatogram of light to obtain better performance, and can also control the rise and the sundown. Breeders can set the sunrise and sundown according to their needs. The lighting system can automatically turn the lights on and off at the time of rising and landing, and automatically set the brightness and power of the light as needed, which is at the leading level in the industry.
