Power Consumption in the Poultry Industry In the UK alone 11,550 million eggs are produced annually 99% of these are produced under artificial lighting conditions This creates on average 246m tons of CO2 a year And accounts for 8.5 billion watts of power; the equivalent domestic energy use of a small city That does not include the Broiler Industry The industry must change as mandatory energy policies are applied
Current Lighting Options The traditional tungsten bulb Inefficient – 98% heat 2% light High heat output – high red light Short lifespan Huge power consumption Will dim Cheap Being phased out
Current Lighting Options - cont The Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Lower power consumption, Contains dangerous gases Contains mercury No dimming ability Poor light quality Disposal issues
glo AGRILAMP The only purpose-designed LED-based solution exclusively for poultry Successfully tested extensively with major producers Exceptional trial results Significant benefits: reduced power consumption and carbon emissions; improved animal welfare
Following thorough research the effects of blue and green light on chickens was established. This led to the creation of the first purpose designed LED, the glo AGRILAMP “A major development in poultry lighting”. AJ IEC
