Effects of Varying Light Spectrum Electromagnetic Radiation on Laying Hens’ Performance and Hormonal Levels

A recent study by Sun et al. published in the journal Animals investigates the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) lights with specific spectral compositions on the growth and reproductive performance of indigenous Beijing-You chickens. The research suggests that manipulation of light spectra can significantly influence poultry development and egg production, potentially offering a new approach to optimizing poultry farming practices. The findings contribute to the understanding of how environmental factors, such as lighting, can shape the biological responses in livestock, highlighting the importance of tailored lighting conditions for enhancing poultry welfare and productivity.
