Low cost automation of artificial illumination for broilers
The main purpose of lighting programs in aviaries is to stimulate food consumption at the right moment to improve performance, as it provides access to birds for water and feed. These programs are important in the early stages of birds development, since they facilitate their adaptation to the envir...
