The field of agricultural lighting is expanding beyond horticulture into animal husbandry. Scientific studies demonstrate that specific light spectra, intensities, and photoperiods can significantly impact the health, growth rate, and productivity of livestock and poultry. For example, certain wavelengths can reduce stress and aggression in chickens, while specific lighting schedules can optimize milk production in dairy cows. In swine farming, lighting programs are used to influence reproductive cycles and improve feed conversion efficiency. LED systems designed for barns and coops must be robust, capable of withstanding harsh environments, and offer programmable spectrums and schedules. This precision lighting approach not only improves animal welfare outcomes but also enhances farm profitability and sustainability by optimizing biological performance, representing a data-driven evolution in modern agriculture.
