Purina Bio-Mittent Lighting Program Early poultry experimental results indicated that layers did not have to have a constant or continuous amount of light during the light hours, it was demonstrated that if the lights were programmed in certain specific patterns, nearly equal production rates to a constant lighting pro gram could be achieved. The challenge to Purina researchers was to develop an in termittent lighting program that not only would give equal production rates, but would also improve feed efficiency. After four years of testing and modification, the Purina Bio-Mittent lighting program is now ready for both pullets and layers. Tests show that Bio-Mittent lighting provides equal pro duction rates to that acheived with a normal constant day length. However, in addition it can provide certain economics in electrical savings and feed efficiency. These are improvements that cannot be achieved on a program of constant daylight but are possible to have when the Bio-Mittent lighting program is used.
