abstract
In the last few decades, the broiler industry has grown very fast to meet the increasing demand for animal protein. But, the unidirectional selection of the poultry birds based on rapid growth, has resulted in the development of many undesirable traits. So, it has attracted the producers towards better managemental practices to remove the complications without hampering production. In this context, light management has emerged as a great tool in broiler production. It has been found that intensity, duration, colour and source of light affect the production. Traits like feed consumption, feed efficiency ratio, egg hatchability, carcass yield, disease prevention trait and different economical traits can also be controlled by proper light management. So, the objective of this review is to discuss the role of light parameters in broiler production so that problems can be mitigated and producers could be economically benefited.
