LED Lighting for poultry Farming
FY 2019-20 · 2019-07-01
Summary
Most Canadian poultry farms are still using incandescent, metal halides and fluorescent lights that are optimized for general-purpose lighting. As poultry have different light receptors and wavelength response as well as different circadian rhythm, lights optimized for humans are not ideally suited for poultry farming. Last decade research points to benefits of using LED lighting for poultry farming but development of a product to support growth cycles in poultry is exceptionally complex and challenging. Allanson will collaborate with University of Toronto to combine the latest recipes including spectral, illumination, dimming and timing parameters into development of a LED colour-tunable light engine that's optimized for poultry growth.

Description
Most Canadian poultry farms are still using incandescent, metal halides and fluorescent lights that are optimized for general-purpose lighting. As poultry have different light receptors and wavelength response as well as different circadian rhythm, lights optimized for humans are not ideally suited for poultry farming. Last decade research points to benefits of using LED lighting for poultry farming but development of a product to support growth cycles in poultry is exceptionally complex and challenging. Allanson will collaborate with University of Toronto to combine the latest recipes including spectral, illumination, dimming and timing parameters into development of a LED colour-tunable light engine that's optimized for poultry growth.
Description (French)
La plupart des fermes canadiennes de volailles utilisent encore des lampes à incandescence, des halogénures métalliques et des lampes fluorescentes qui sont optimisées pour l'éclairage à usage général. Comme les volailles ont des récepteurs de lumière et une réponse en longueur d'onde différents ainsi qu'un rythme circadien différent, les lumières optimisées pour les humains ne sont pas idéales pour un élevage de volailles. Les recherches de la dernière décennie soulignent les avantages de l'utilisation de l'éclairage DEL pour l'élevage de volailles, mais le développement d'un produit pour soutenir les cycles de croissance des volailles est particulièrement complexe et difficile. Allanson collaborera avec l'Université de Toronto pour combiner les plus récentes formules, y compris les paramètres spectraux, d'éclairage, de gradation et de synchronisation, afin de développer un moteur lumineux DEL accordable en couleur qui est optimal pour la croissance des volailles.
