Abstract
  • Broilers grown in a conventional-type house under natural lighting with intermittent lighting at night were compared to continuous (24-hour) light­ing in two experiments. Broiler growth and feed conversion at seven weeks were not affected by treatments in either experiment. Economic evaluation of the different treatments showed savings ranging from 2.43 to 4.39 cents per bird for the intermittent treatments compared to continuous lighting. Broilers were also grown in a light-tight house to further evaluate the effect of intermittent light on broiler performance. There were no significant differences in mean body weights, feed conversion, feed consump­tion, and mortality at seven weeks of age between treatments for this experi­ment. Economic evaluation showed savings of .25 to 1.36 cents per bird for the intermittent treatment over the continuous lighting treatment.
