Abstract

The current study was conducted in private farm. The experiment was extended from January 2019 to February 2019. The object of this study was to determine the effect of using color light emitting diod (LED) on the broiler production under different LED light colors and strains. In addition, studying the effect of LED light colors on broilers immunity and its productivity.

- The studied traits were as follow:
Body weights at different ages, feed consumption (FC) (kg per bird/cycle), feed conversion ratio FCR, titration and calculation of antibody titers and, carcass traits (per slaughter weight, blood weight, feather weight, intestinal weight, head weight, eaten innards weight and eviscerated weight).
The results indicated that all traits were significantly affected by strains and LED light color.
