Abstract (in English)
Lighting programs play a crucial role in the growth, health, and well-being of broiler chickens and affect the secretion of hormones related to maturation and growth. This study scrutinizes the impact of optimal temperature and light management, particularly the use of LED lighting and the regulation of light intensity and duration, on the growth, health, economic productivity, and welfare of broiler chickens. It also focuses on optimizing energy consumption and standardizing poultry farming facilities for the sustainable development of the poultry industry. This study is a narrative review based on domestic and international research, utilizing relevant keywords searched in reputable scientific databases. The findings indicate that proper temperature and light management in broiler farming play a significant role in optimal growth, reducing the feed conversion ratio, and preventing diseases. The use of LED lighting, especially yellow light, leads to increased weight gain and reduced litter production, while green and blue lights contribute to better growth and immunity in poultry. Adjusting light intensity at different stages of rearing, along with intermittent lighting programs, enhances energy efficiency. Implementing an 8-hour dark and 16-hour light cycle (L8:D16), depending on housing conditions and seasonal factors, is the most recommended option. These measures improve economic efficiency and poultry welfare. In conclusion, proper management of temperature and lighting can enhance the health, growth, and economic efficiency of broiler chicken farming.
