Color taboos for poultry rearing

In poultry breeding, different colors can produce diametrically opposed effects at different stages of growth or different performance of the poultry. This article focuses on color taboos for poultry rearing.

One, red taboo

1. Red light has an inhibitory effect on the growth rate of chicks and has a delayed effect on sexual maturity, so it should not be used for chicks and young chickens.

2. To reduce the fertilization rate should be prohibited for the use of breeders.

Second, green light taboo

Green light has an inhibitory effect on chicken egg production, so it is prohibited for laying hens and breeding hens.

Third, Blu-ray taboo

Blu-ray has the effect of reducing the egg production of laying hens. Therefore, laying hens should not be used for many long-term applications, except for the occasional application of blue light as an aid to capture chickens.

Fourth, yellow taboo

Yellow light has the effect of reducing feed remuneration and reducing egg production. Therefore, it is prohibited for laying hens and breeding hens. According to relevant domestic data reports, with yellow lighting, chickens are prone to paralysis, and the incidence is 1.5%. Therefore, in the chickens that are potentially causative, yellow lighting should be prohibited.

Fifth, color conversion taboo

When a chicken is accustomed to keeping a certain color of clothing, it will produce conditioned reflexes. When a person enters a chicken house, it will cause the chickens to feel excited, increase their appetite, and increase their feed intake. If the breeder suddenly replaces other colors of clothing and enters the hen house, the flock feels a strange sense of panic and reduces the intake of food, which will affect the growth for a long time. Therefore, it is better to keep the clothing color of the staff to keep it constant.
