Light affects the reason for the egg production rate of the flock. The autumn and winter holiday time is shortened, and the effect of light on the chicken body is reduced, so that the gonadotropin secretion of the anterior pituitary of the chicken pit is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the egg production rate of the chicken.
For chickens, the appropriate daily light time should be 14 to 16 hours, and the illumination should be about 10 lux (equivalent to 2 meters above the ground, 1 watt of light per 0 to 37 square meters).
The illumination time cannot be changed arbitrarily, especially in the later stage of laying eggs, and it is not suitable to reduce the light intensity or shorten the illumination time. That is to say, the illumination can only increase and cannot be reduced, otherwise the egg production rate will be greatly reduced.
