Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of light regimens on broilers performance, growth performance, carcass traits, lymphoid organs, blood constituents, health parameters and performance evaluation of Sasso broiler chicks. Two hundred and seventy chicks were randomly divided into 3 equal groups 90 chicks each (24hr continues light (C), 12hr continues light plus 12hr flash light (CF) and 24hr flash light (F)). All experimental chicks were housed in floor pens from one day till six weeks of age. Feed and water were available ad-libitum and all environmental and managerial conditions were the same during the experimental period. The obtained results showed that lighting regimens significantly affected growth performance, abdominal fat, plasma constituents, antioxidant markers, health parameters and performance evaluation. In addition, there were no significant effect on feed consumption and lymphoid organs. However, Chicks raised under continues+flash lighting program they were highest value in performance evaluation. From this point, birds raised under continuous plus flash lighting program during fattening period is highly recommended.
