Title:

LED Lighting for poultry Farming

Agreement Number:

931771

Agreement Value:

$212,600.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 1, 2019 - Mar 31, 2021

Description:

Most Canadian poultry farms are still using incandescent, metal halides and fluorescent lights that are optimized for general-purpose lighting. As poultry have different light receptors and wavelength response as well as different circadian rhythm, lights optimized for humans are not ideally suited for poultry farming. Last decade research points to benefits of using LED lighting for poultry farming but development of a product to support growth cycles in poultry is exceptionally complex and challenging. Allanson will collaborate with University of Toronto to combine the latest recipes including spectral, illumination, dimming and timing parameters into development of a LED colour-tunable light engine that's optimized for poultry growth.
