Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a hybrid LED lighting method and system for chicken coops. For example, a closed or semi-open chicken coop is provided with the hybrid LED lightings including white LED beads and yellow LED beads in a mixing ratio of about 1:5 to about 5:1 in a regularly alternating manner. The average light intensity on the chicken cages' underside exposed to the light of the hybrid LED lighting is about 5 to about 30 Lux. The closed chicken coop is lit by a hybrid LED lighting every day during fattening period; the semi-open chicken coop is exposed to natural light in the daytime and lit by the hybrid LED lighting at night during fattening period. Implementation of the present disclosure improves growth of chickens, increases uniformity of chickens, and improves health and resistance to epidemic diseases.
