LED lights to chicken: prevention of avian influenza to promote chicken Health

LED lighting is becoming more and more popular, especially in agricultural applications, it is a thousand li a day. Researchers at the University of California at Davis have shown that using LED lights to raise chickens, not only can prevent bird flu, but also to promote the health of chickens and increase production value.

Traditionally, lighting in the chicken industry, has been in a supporting role. Especially in the subtropical area of Taiwan, adequate sunshine, so that the general chicken farm, you can use the windows and curtains to adjust the time of the sun and indoor temperature. However, due to the open environment, easy to cause the spread of avian influenza. In Japan, Europe and the United States and other advanced countries in the Arctic, in order to improve the efficiency of temperature and humidity control, and the spread of exotic poultry diseases, closed poultry house, has become the mainstream of poultry industry. And lighting has become the key to control the growth of chickens.

In 2008, Taiwan enterprises crownmate technology and equipment manufacturers that Japan's largest chicken industry and Trade Corporation, with the assistance of its consultants, together with the successful development of ultrasonic welding of the lamp body chicken special LED bulb, solves the farm lighting needs stepless dimming, waterproof, dustproof, anti demand function erosion. So far, has successfully sold about 200 thousand.

According to reports, LED dimming lighting system using DC voltage supply (including bulb and lamp) in this year, in addition to the Japanese market, more actively to the poultry industry in Holland, sales leadership, Germany and other EU countries.

This system is different from the existing alternating current, out of phase type general AC dimming, dimming and 100% low light flashing rate shortcomings, using LED light source for pulse modulation (PWM) dimming, and the success of the LED lamp is the most criticized problem solving a flash frequency the. The dynamic visual acuity is superior to that of human beings, and it also can not feel the flicker phenomenon, which is in line with the EU norms on animal welfare law. Coupled with the safety of DC, light source and chicken close contact, there will be no danger of electric shock.
