Abstract:Light is important for broiler rearing which can affect economically significant performance traits. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of daylight, warm white and blue LED light on broiler fattening performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, litter characteristics and welfare. 216 male chicks were used. Chicks were weighed and housed randomly in 3 light-controlled rooms (n=72), each containing 9 separate pens (8 chicks per pen). During the experiment body weight, weight gain, fe… Show more
