“…Further feed conversion efficiency as the index of body mass considerably influenced by illumination. Improvement in feed conversion efficiency is noticed when light duration remains shorter as well as longer (Nunes et al, 2014;Omer et al, 2015).…”

Present review was performed in order to understand the influence of photoperiod and light intensity on Coturnix japonica. Different literatures were reviewed regarding egg production, behaviour, body weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass weight, egg quality with respect to photoperiods and intensities. It was noticed from the reviewed studies that light intensity of 80 and 20 luxes for 8 hours during growing period and 240 and 60 luxes for 16 hours during laying period results 194.85±4.46, 191.42±2.87 feed intake, 201.00±13.82, 210±15.1 weekly weight gain. The better feed conversion ratio remains (1.03) with light intensity of 80 and 20 luxes for 8 hours during growing period. Carcass weight remains as 98.33±8.33 and 99.56±5.44, dressing percentage 50.46% and 52.01%, egg production percent 50.11 and 48.81, egg length 32.15±0.54 and 32.12±0.35, egg width 24.87±0.22 and 23.75±0.31, egg weight 9±0.44 and 9±0.54, 11.2±0.73 when light intensity of 80 and 20 luxes for 8 hours during growing period and 240 and 60 luxes for 16 hours during laying period is provided. In conclusion Coturnix japonica raised on 80 luxes for 08 hours light intensity during growing period and 240 luxes for 16 hours light intensity in laying period results better FCR and feed intake in cage system. While Coturnix japonica reared with 5 luxes for 16 hours photoperiod during growing period and 15 luxes for 20 hours photoperiod in laying period demonstrate better egg production and behaviour.

“…The light presence during the night improves the growth and adaptation to the environment in the first days of life and throughout the growing period (Nunes et al, 2014). Several light programs can be used in aviculture, but the ideal lighting program to be provided to laying poultry should be the one that provides the highest egg production with minimum feed intake and electric energy usage (Freitas et al, 2010).…”

“…The best light intensity was 5 lux as compared to 10, 15 and 22 lux per m 2 . Nunes et al (2014) evaluated performance, characteristics, reproductive system morphology (ovary and oviduct) and egg quality of Japanese quail exposed to green, blue, red LED and fluorescent lamps. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the treatments for performance and morphology.…”

The Brazilian poultry production currently has a substantial impact on the national and international economy. Brazil ranks sixth in the world rankings of the largest egg producers. However, the activity still has barriers related to management and facilities, such as high waste of electrical energy due to the low energy efficiency of the lighting systems. The artificial lighting programs represent an important management tool to accelerate or delay sexual maturity of laying, stimulate the release of reproductive hormones, increase the egg production, besides promoting improvements in the shell quality and the size of the eggs. There is a large number of lamps that are available for use in artificial lighting systems, however, each light source has different characteristics (light intensity, wavelength, color, temperature and fluctuations) which may cause positive or negative effect on hens performance, egg quality and production costs. The LED technology is an innovative alternative that can improve the sustainability of the activity, since it has better energy efficiency, longer lifetime and emits light of different colors. This literature review aims to discuss the beneficial characteristics of the LED and its effects on the production of commercial layers.

“…Coturnix japonica is one of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. It is calm, adaptable, and economical to maintain (1,2). Japanese quail has assumed importance as an experimental model because of its distinct properties involving precocity of the species, fast and more productivity, early sexual maturity, short generation interval, and less feed and space requirements (3).…”
