Poultry-production systems are continually evolving, with advancements in research and technology allowing greater precision in meeting the unique needs of bird genetic lines and individual flocks. Lighting, among other factors like feeding and ventilation, plays a critical role in the growth and behavior of poultry and should be given careful consideration.
