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.
