Lighting for agricultural facilities is a specialized industrial lighting for companies. These are luminaires and lighting systems designed to meet the specific conditions and needs of each particular company in Ukraine and abroad. It also includes lighting fixtures for production, warehouses, laboratories, workshops, etc. They ensure reliability, energy efficiency and compliance with safety standards.
Lighting for livestock and poultry farming: features and importance
Lighting for poultry and livestock has a significant impact on the growth, productivity, reproductive function and health of animals and poultry. A properly designed lighting system can help reduce stress, improve appetite and increase production (milk yield or egg production).
Basic requirements for lighting in livestock and poultry farming
Important factors that shall be taken into account when ordering lighting for livestock include:
- Adjustable light level (smooth dimming or brightening reduces stress).
- Resistance to aggressive media (dust, moisture, ammonia fumes (IP 66+)).
- Durability and energy efficiency (LED lamps and LED luminaires maximize resource savings).
- Special light spectrum (influence on hormonal processes of animals and poultry).
- No flicker (minimizes stress and increases comfort).
radiyLED: Special luminaires for livestock farms
Lighting for livestock (cattle, pigs, goats, sheep) requires an exceptionally high-quality selection of lighting control systems.
The biorhythms of animals directly depend on the illumination and the feeling of a particular time of day. Light modes affect milk yield, weight gain, and reproductive capacity. An increase in milk yield in cows of up to 6-10% can be observed under the conditions of the correct light cycle. The effect of light on metabolism accelerates the growth of young animals. And “warm” light creates a calming effect to reduce aggression in pigs.
Lighting for poultry farms
Indoor light in poultry houses (chickens, turkeys, quail, ducks, geese) affects egg production, growth, feed consumption and behavior.
Recommendations for farm lighting
Farms (cowsheds, pig farms, goat farms):
- Optimal illumination: 150-300 lux.
- Color temperature: 4000K - 5000K (neutral white light).
- Lighting period: 16 hours of light, 8 hours of darkness – lactation stimulation.
- IP 65-IP 67 waterproof LED lamps, resistant to ammonia and dust.
Lighting recommendations for increased productivity
The correct light source mode results in a 5-15% increase in egg production, as well as improved feed digestion and faster weight gain in broilers. “Warm light” reduces cannibalism in poultry.
Broiler farms:
- Illumination: 20-40 lux (minimum light for calm growth).
- Spectrum: warm white (2700K-3500K) – reduction of aggression.
- Lighting period: 20 hours of light, 4 hours of darkness.
Laying hens (chickens, ducks, geese):
- Illumination: 80-120 lux.
- Spectrum: red or warm white light (2700K-3000K) - stimulates egg-laying.
- Adjustable light intensity to simulate dawn and dusk.
Characteristics of radiyLED luminaires for livestock and poultry farming
Industrial specialized lighting for the agricultural sector from radiyLED is energy efficient, durable, has a high degree of protection (IP 67+) and is resistant to power surges and aggressive media (including ammonia).
Lighting systems with a dimming function provide smooth adjustment of the brightness level in the room in the range of 0-100% in automatic and manual modes, including the “moonlight” mode.
Vandal-resistant luminaires are shockproof compared to conventional ones.
radiyLED lighting systems are able to operate at high temperatures and humidity, during the treatment of equipment with caustic soda, gasification with formalin and iodine vapors, etc. Equipment located in hazardous areas operates at a safe voltage of 110 V.
Results of cooperation with radiyLED
Our customers receive only the best conditions for cooperation, because due to our lighting they:
- Save up to 70% of electricity due to LED-technology.
- Increase milk yield and egg production by using the correct light cycle.
- Minimize stress and aggression in animals and poultry.
- Automate lighting by adjusting the brightness and operating time.
In addition, radiyLED luminaires have high durability, power, and a maximum lifespan of up to 100,000 hours of operation.
Lighting for livestock and poultry farming is not just about lighting the premises, but an important element for the efficient running of a farm business. radiyLED products open up wide opportunities for solutions to each individual project using specialized lighting.
