This study investigated how targeted light exposure during egg incubation (in-ovo) and after hatching (post-hatch) influences growth performance, feed efficiency, and survivability of broiler chickens under tropical conditions. Poultry production in warm climates is increasingly challenged by heat stress, which compromises feed intake, growth rates, and survival. Photo stimulation using specific light wavelengths has emerged...Read More
