Insulated Lamps For Chicken Coop

Insulated lights are an important tool often used in chicken coops to maintain the temperature of the chickens. Chicken farms often use insulated lights.The wattage of chick insulation lamps generally depends on the specific use environment and needs, usually between 25 watts and 100 watts.For small-scale incubators or insulated areas, such as incubators or small coops, 25 or 40 watt insulated lamps are usually sufficient. For larger incubators or coops, it may be necessary to use a higher power insulation lamp, such as 60 watts or 100 watts, to provide greater heat and coverage.

During the brooding period, the chicks need to be kept warm and comfortable, and the temperature should be controlled within the appropriate range. In the first week after the chick emerges, the temperature should be kept at about 32°C, and then it can be reduced by 2°C per week until it is about 20°C. The temperature difference between day and night should not be greater than 1 °C, and the temperature should be kept constant as much as possible to avoid excessive temperature difference and incomplete absorption of chick yolk.
Therefore, the choice of chick insulation lamp with the right power can be decided according to the actual needs and environment to ensure the health and growth of the chicks.

1. Keep the flock quiet

Turning on the lights at night can reduce the commotion and barking of the flock. Because chickens are easily upset and frightened in the dark, turning on the lights can give them a sense of security and keep them quiet. This is very helpful in avoiding stress responses in the flock and reducing energy expenditure.

2. Improve the egg production rate of laying hens

For laying hens, turning on the lights at night can stimulate the development of their reproductive system and improve egg production. In addition, turning on the lights can also provide enough light time to help the hens maintain healthy physiology.

3. Promote the growth of the flock

For broilers, turning on the lights at night can increase their activity, boost metabolism, and improve appetite and digestion. This helps broilers grow faster and gain weight.

The advantage of turning on the lights at night is that the chickens will always think that they are in the daytime, and they will keep eating, which can accelerate the growth of the chickens.

Raise the indoor temperature, so that the chicken thinks that it is daytime, has been eating, improve the growth rate of the chicken, easy for workers to manage the light to eat, of course, grow fast.

And when the weather is cold and cool, turning on the lights at night can also play a role in raising the temperature of the chicken house. The disadvantage is that in the summer and the season of high temperatures, the temperature of the chicken house will be raised, and it is easy for them to feel uncomfortable and fight with each other.
