Red light effect on hen egg production studied by NJ researchers
Professor C S Platt of the New Jersey College of Agriculture reports that dim red light can stimulate hens as effectively as brighter white light, shortening the needed exposure to three hours and encouraging birds to search for food when light is brighter. Red light appears to influence the pituitary gland, affecting hormone output and egg production potential.
