Summary

INTRODUCTION The influence of light is a resultant of period, intensity, and colour and wattage power of the lamp. Classen and Riddell, 1989 [4] suggested that birds exposed to increasing photoperiod appeared to be more active.

Many farmers do not master the Photoperiod and the light intensity. The bad system of light intensity will affect the production and the egg weight.

Those who have the Grading Machine will know the production of each category of eggs. The article above is a good reference for farmers and technicians.
