Optimal lighting for Broiler Chickens
Achieving specific light requirements for broiler chickens can positively impact production by:
- Reducing mortality rate
- Improving feed conversion ratio
- Uniformizing weight gain among flock
- Increasing weight gain and muscle mass
- Limiting huddling of the birds within the facilities

Key Elements to Consider in Light Requirements for Broiler Chickens
Photoperiod
An optimal 17-20 hours of light exposure, gradually decreasing from a full 24 hours of light for the first few days.
Uniform Light Distribution
Consistent light coverage prevents clustering and reduces aggression. A uniform lighting environment leads to more stable behaviour and consistent growth across the flock.
Light Intensity
Light intensity should be adjusted depending on the phase of development:
- Brooding phase: 25–40 lux
- Fattening phase: reduce to 5–10 lux to lower activity levels and promote calmness.
Sunrise/Sunset Simulation
Like all poultry lighting solutions, optimal lighting for broiler chickens should be dimmable to simulate sunrise and sunset transitions. This reduces stress and supports natural rhythms.
Light Spectrum & Colour Temperature
Measured in nanometers (nm) and expressed in Kelvin (K), different light wavelengths influence bird behaviour and physiology.
6500K – Cool White
This technology is a bright, blue-toned light that stimulates activity and feeding behaviours. It improves feed conversion ratios and increases weight and muscle gain.
Full Spectrum
This technology mimics natural sunlight. It increases muscle development and weight gain. It also reduces oxidative stress and enhances gut microbiota diversity, improving overall bird health.
