About this Event
Most commercial strains of poultry are seasonal breeders: they rely on photoperiodic cues to initiate and terminate reproduction. Hence, controlling light environment in barns is key to manage growth, egg production and behaviour. Join us for an informative presentation from Dr. Grégoy Bédécarrats from the University of Guelph. Dr. Bédécarrats has done extensive research on lighting – including how red, blue and green light affects different types of poultry. He has also collaborated to develop, test and validate a spectrum lighting system to be used in barns (AgriLuxTM).
