Technical Introduction

Lighting programs play a central role in controlling sexual maturity, egg size development and long-term production persistence in commercial layer flocks. Proper management of photoperiod and light intensity helps synchronise flock development and improve performance predictability. This session explains how lighting strategies can be adapted to different housing systems and production objectives under Asian field conditions to maximise biological and economic results.
