LED lights to raise chicken

According to reports, LED lighting has become more and more popular, especially in the application of agriculture, but also a great deal of success. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have demonstrated through experimentation that using chickens with LED lights can not only prevent bird flu, but also promote the health of chickens and increase output value.

Traditionally, lighting has always played a supporting role in the chicken industry. Especially in the subtropical Taiwan region, with plenty of sunshine, ordinary chicken farms can use windows and curtains to adjust the sunshine time and indoor temperature. However, because of the open environment, it is easy to cause the spread of foreign bird flu. In Japan, Europe and the United States and other advanced countries in the frigid zone, in order to improve the efficiency of temperature and humidity control, and the spread of exotic poultry diseases, closed chicken coops have become the mainstream of the chicken industry. Lighting has become an important key to controlling the growth of chickens.

In 2008, Taiwanese company Huangyou Technology and Japan's largest chicken equipment manufacturer East-West Industries Trading Co., Ltd., with the help of a consulting company, worked together to successfully develop a special LED bulb lamp for chickens that was ultrasonically connected to the lamp body. It solves the functional requirements of stepless dimming, waterproof, dustproof and anti-corrosion needed for chicken farm lighting. So far, about 200,000 pieces have been successfully sold.

According to reports, LED dimming lighting systems using DC voltage supply (including bulbs and lamps) will be available this year. In addition to the Japanese market, they will be more active in sales to leading countries in the chicken industry, the Netherlands, Germany and other EU countries. .

The system is different from the existing AC system, eliminating the drawbacks of general AC phase dimming, 100% dimming, and low dimming rate flicker. The LED light source is the most suitable PWM dimming method and is successful. The one-off solution to the LED flash problem that most people criticized. The phenomenon that dynamic visual acuity is better than humans does not feel flickering, which truly conforms to the European Union's regulation of animal welfare law. In addition to the safety of DC power, there is no danger of death by electrocution due to the close contact between the light source and the bird.
