Most broiler chickens are reared commercially in artificial light environments, which differ sharply from the natural light environment in which they evolved. It is not known how light affects the behaviour of broiler chickens, despite much research

This experiment investigated the preference of juvenile pigs for illuminance, and indirectly photoperiod, at two ages. The animals were equally familiar with all illuminances prior to testing. Fourgroups, each offour pigs, occupied a four-compartment

An experiment was designed to test the response of growing pullets to two changes in photoperiod (an increase from 8 to 14 h followed 5 weeks later by the reverse change, or a decrease from 14 to 8 h followed by an increase). The first change was mad

A model is presented which will predict mean age at first egg (AFE) for pullets of laying strains reared under non-limiting environmental conditions but exposed to a single change in photoperiod during the rearing stage. An initial analysis of 12 pre

1. Groups of ISA Brown pullets were transferred from 8- to 16-h photoperiods at 34, 44 or 54 d. In each group, 12 birds were injected on alternate days over a 12-d period starting 6 d before the change in photoperiod with beta-oestradiol-3-benzoate (

It has been shown that, in small groups of intact male domestic turkeys, supplementary ultraviolet (UV-A) radiation, visual barriers, and added straw (environmental enrichment) minimize the incidence of injurious pecking under incandescent light at 5

Current commercial poultry production in the UK faces many challenges which make it difficult to confidently predict the future. Changing legislation, responding largely to welfare pressures, is one such challenge. Additionally, consumer demands are

Ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity in birds has been shown to be intrinsically involved in the selection of mates; UV may, therefore, also play a role in the establishment and maintenance of social hierarchies in intensively housed turkeys. Cereal seeds an

1. Responses to ultraviolet (UV) radiation were studied in two trials. In one trial, sexually mature pullets, that had been maintained on an 8L:16D regimen from 2 d of age, were exposed sequentially, for periods of 9 to 12 d, to a further 8 h of very

Layer strain pullets were reared on litter and given an 8-h photoperiod to 10 wk of age. They were then transferred to cages in which light intensity at the feed trough varied from 5 to 14 lx. Thirty birds continued on 8 h light (L):16 h dark (D) (ne
