Hens With Lights Boost Winter Egg Output and Profit
Iowa State College extension poultryman W. R. Whitfield reports in State Demonstration Flocks that artificially lighted hens produced more eggs and higher labor income than non lit flocks. Lighted birds laid 184 eggs vs 173, with $1.81 per bird labor income compared to 93 cents. feed per dozen eggs dropped to 7.1 pounds from 8. Mortality rose slightly to 18 percent vs 15 percent, but production gains offset losses from not using lights.
