This review highlights the importance of light, especially wavelength, in the poultry environment and its impact on reproduction and production in poultry birds. LED technology shows potential in improving sperm quality and egg production in chickens and other birds. However, there is a lack of research on the effects of LED on ducks, geese, and quails. Further studies are needed to explore the potential benefits of shorter wavelength light, such as ultraviolet, in poultry production. Additionally, more scientific information should be made available on the impact of LED on Guinea fowl, turkeys, and breeder birds.
Light is the most critical factor in the poultry environment due to avian spectral sensitivity which greatly differs from that of humans. The review on the reproductive and production responses of poultry birds to LED reveals a paucity of information on ducks, geese and quails. Limited studies exist on the effect of LED on Guinea fowl, turkeys and breeder birds. Reproduction in poultry birds appears to be more influenced by wavelength rather than other LED characteristics. Poultry birds are critically sensitive to wavelength. Red LED improves sperm quality in roosters and egg production in laying hens and quails without a significant impact on egg qualities while blue LED also appears to favour production in ducks. Studies are needed on how best shorter wavelength (ultraviolet light) can be maximised in poultry. Further research should focus more on making the scientific information available on the impact of LED on Guinea fowl, turkeys and breeder birds.
