“…Conversely, Firouzi et al (2014) emphasized the ability for red and yellow lights to increase chicken activity, by triggering aggressiveness and movement. This causes the fulfillment of feed intake, hence the high recommendation for use in the starter maintenance phase (brooding), and not in the laying phase or for broilers (Morrill et al, 2014). Olanrewaju et al (2012) attributed the ducks' efficient use of feed consumption for egg production, to the proper management of energy during locomotion or other activities.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the different combinations of intensity and color of LED monochrome lamps for optimal productivity, as well as the internal and external quality of Alabio duck eggs. The study was carried out for 4 weeks period of raising which was devided in 2 stages. In the first stage, it was used a completely randomized factorial design of 4 light colors x 3 light intensities with 4 replications with 5 ducks of each replicate, totaling 240 laying Alabio ducks. The light color was 4 colors consisted of yellow, red, blue, and green, alongside with intensity levels of 10 lux, 15 lux, and 20 lux. The irradiation method of layer ducks was 18 hours light and 10 hours dark (18L: 10D of ahemeral method). The variables observed were laying age, egg production and the total weight of eggs, mortality, feed consumption, FCR, and income over feed cost (IOFC). In the second stage, it was selected 3 best combination treatments from the first phase. The experimental method was based on a completely randomized design, encompassing the best treatments as P1, P2, and P3, with 5 replications with 10 duck per replicate, totaling 150 laying Alabio ducks. The variables were egg internal quality, which consisted of haugh unit egg, yolk index (EYI), egg albumin index, and yolk color. The external egg quality observed were egg weight, shell thickness, shape index, and specific gravity. The results of the first phase showed the best productivity was achieved in blue color with an intensity of 15 lux on all measured variables. The results in the second stage showed the best treatment is blue light color treatment with a light intensity of 15 lux, on the internal qualities of duck eggs include HU (95.11±2.39), EYI (0.421±0.63), EAI (0.121±0.12), egg yolk color (8.36±0.31), and also the best in terms of external quality, with the highest egg weight (66.76±5.21 g). It was concluded that the combination of blue light color with an intensity of 15 lux significantly increased the egg production and performance of Alabio duck from Kalimantan.

“…(2014) reported that broiler chickens reared under yellow and blue light had the largest and smallest body weight gain, respectively. Conversely, Morrill et al (2014) found 6.0 and 8.9% increases in the final body weight of broilers reared under blue and green monochromatic light when compared with those reared under red and white light. Yet, the impact of light colors on the growth performance in meat geese has not been investigated.…”

Besides on the reproductive performance, the light also has an important effect on the growth in birds. In the present study, we for the first time investigated effects of colored light-emitting diodes ( LED ) on both growth performance and fecal microbiota in meat geese. We randomly selected a total of 120 geese at birth (0-day), divided them into 3 groups evenly (i.e., 40 geese each group), and then reared them under 3 colored light-emitting diodes (i.e., blue, red, and white) with the same photoperiod for 9 wk, respectively. We collected fecal samples at the experimental day 35 and 63, respectively. We observed that geese in blue light had higher body weight than those in red and white lights at the early stage of the experiment but showed lower body weight at the late stage, particularly at day 63 ( P < 0.05). Interestingly, we found that the relative abundances of 3 dominant bacteria phyla, Firmicutes , Proteobacteria , and Cyanobacteria , were comparable among 3 groups at day 35, while at day 63, the blue light group had the significantly ( P < 0.05) lowest and highest abundance for Firmicutes and Proteobacteria , respectively. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that the fecal microbiota in the red light group was mainly involved in metabolism at day 35, whereas at day 63, the fecal microbiota were engaged into membrane transportation and transcription. In contrast, the blue light group had more enriched pathways relevant with membrane transportation at day 63 than day 35 and had several pathways involved in metabolism at day 63 as well. Collectively, our results revealed that the light with different colors affects the growth performance of geese via the gut microbiota, which in turn influences the digestion and absorption of geese.

“…However, the feed intake, egg weight and egg quality were not influenced by the light sources. Conversely, Morrill et al (2014) pointed out that under blue and green monochromatic illumination, chicken broilers exhibited up to 6.0% and 8.9% increases in final body weight, respectively, compared to chickens kept under red or white light. Mobarkey et al (2013) showed that selective photostimulation under green light caused a significant delay in the onset of egg production of chickens compared to the use of red light.…”

“…Moreover, it also activates the development of reactive substances, such as enzymes and vitamins in embryos ( Er et al, 2007 ). Evidently, the source, spectrum, intensity and regimen of artificial light supplementation are critical factors for the modern management of the poultry industry ( Borille et al, 2013 ; Morrill et al, 2014 ; Lee et al, 2015 ; Wang et al, 2015 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of monochromic light-emitting diode (LED) light with different color on the growth and reproductive performances of white Roman breeder geese. A randomized complete batch design was utilized for the trial, and the replicate was regarded as one batch. Twenty ganders and fifty-five dames were used in batch 1 (started on 2011/6/17 and ended on 2012/1/31), thirty ganders and eighty-four dames were used in batch 2 (started on 2012/3/23 and ended on 2012/10/26), and thirty ganders and seventy-two dames were used in batch 3 (started on 2013/3/12 and ended on 2013/12/20). Two hundred and ninety-one geese were randomly assigned to 6 rooms in an environmentally controlled house. They were randomly allotted into one of three monochromatic light treatments: Blue, red, or white. The results showed that there was no significant difference in body weight among the three lighting groups at any point throughout the experimental period. However, compared to the blue light group, significantly more eggs were produced by the red and white light groups (p<0.05). Furthermore, the laying period of the red light group was significantly longer than that of other two groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, our results suggested that red LED-light has the best effect on reproductive performance (i.e. longer laying period and higher total eggs number) at 30 lux light intensity, and is therefore a better choice for the management of breeding geese than blue or white LED-light.
