“…In our study, it is thought that the reason for the emergence of this difference at a later age is due to the fact that the growth rate of quails is not as fast as broiler chickens. Numerous studies indicate that green and blue monochromatic lighting improves growth in birds [12,[33][34][35]. In addition, several studies have claimed that the wavelength that reveals the yellow color has positive effects on growth characteristics.…”

“…Some researchers have noted that as the wavelength of light approaches ultraviolet, the growth and development characteristics of chicken improve, and their temperament becomes more tranquil [10][11][12]. Halevy et al [13] suggested that the excitation wavelength of blue and green light causes muscular satellite cells to proliferate more rapidly, thus accelerating the growth of poultry.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of monochromatic illuminations at wavelengths of white (400–700 nm), green (560 nm), yellow (580 nm), blue (480 nm), and red (660 nm) on the performance and behavioral traits of Japanese quails throughout their fattening period. A total of 300 quails in five lighting experimental groups were housed in their conventional rearing cages. Weekly live weights of quails were measured individually, developmental stability was determined, and behavior and fear tests were performed. The body weight averages of quails exposed to blue, green, and yellow light were determined to be greater than those exposed to white and red light (p < 0.05). In terms of the mature weight parameter and the weight of the inflection point of the Gompertz growth model, the averages of the quails exposed to green and blue monochromatic lighting were higher (p < 0.05). The most negative findings on aggressive behavior were observed in birds exposed to monochromatic yellow and red light. Although the body weight of quails exposed to yellow monochromatic lighting was similar to that of quails exposed to green and blue monochromatic lighting, green and blue monochromatic lighting produced the best results in terms of growth, behavior, and developmental stability characteristics. Consequently, it is believed that consistently using green or blue monochromatic lighting programs when raising Japanese quails may provide economic advantages to the producers.

“…The similarity in the haematological values of the birds suggests that access to pastures was not stressful to the birds in the present study. Stress conditions have been shown to influence leukocyte count and heterophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (Attia et al., 2018; Attia & Hassan, 2017; Oke et al., 2021; Puvadolpirod & Thaxton, 2000).

“…Depending on the environment, rearing systems and accessories present in poultry housing facilities might have a role to play in heat stress management. It has been highlighted that failure of the temperature regulation and ventilation controls in environmentally controlled housing could result in heat stress (1,66). In open-sided buildings or non-environmentally controlled housing, poor stocking density and poor ventilation can compound heat stress problems (67-69).…”

Heat stress is a threat that can lead to significant financial losses in the production of poultry in the world’s tropical and arid regions. The degree of heat stress (mild, moderate, severe) experienced by poultry depends mainly on thermal radiation, humidity, the animal’s thermoregulatory ability, metabolic rate, age, intensity, and duration of the heat stress. Contemporary commercial broiler chickens have a rapid metabolism, which makes them produce higher heat and be prone to heat stress. The negative effect of heat stress on poultry birds’ physiology, health, production, welfare, and behaviors are reviewed in detail in this work. The appropriate mitigation strategies for heat stress in poultry are equally explored in this review. Interestingly, each of these strategies finds its applicability at different stages of a poultry’s lifecycle. For instance, gene mapping prior to breeding and genetic selection during breeding are promising tools for developing heat-resistant breeds. Thermal conditioning during embryonic development or early life enhances the ability of birds to tolerate heat during their adult life. Nutritional management such as dietary manipulations, nighttime feeding, and wet feeding often, applied with timely and effective correction of environmental conditions have been proven to ameliorate the effect of heat stress in chicks and adult birds. As long as the climatic crises persist, heat stress may continue to require considerable attention; thus, it is imperative to explore the current happenings and pay attention to the future trajectory of heat stress effects on poultry production.
