The behaviour of broiler chickens in different light sources and illuminances (2007)

Kristensen, H. H., Prescott, N. B., Perry, G. C. et al.

Abstract

Here, we describe two experiments aimed at assessing how commercially available light sources at set illuminances influenced the behaviour of broiler chickens. The broilers showed less feather-pecking behaviour in warm-white rather than biolux light and more foraging behaviour in dim rather than bright light intensities.
