How Smart Lighting Helped an English Poultry Farmer Improve Flock Performance
We spent the day with Robert and Ed Lanning of Devonshire Poultry to hear about their experience with NatureDynamics Lighting.
In a recent video, poultry producer Robert and Ed at Devonshire Poultry, share why they upgraded their barn lighting and the impact it has had on their flock. After the old lighting system aged out, they looked for a solution that could do more than simply illuminate the barn, they wanted a system that could influence flock behavior and performance.
They chose the NatureDynamics system, a dynamic lighting solution designed for poultry environments. His motivation wasn’t just personal preference; he had studied the effects of light on poultry and even wrote his thesis on the topic.
Since installing the system, he’s seen measurable improvements in his flock’s health and behavior:
- His broilers maintain healthy vitals while continuing to grow and stay active.
- When the light spectrum is shifted toward blue and green tones, the chickens calm down, reducing stress and promoting a more relaxed environment.
- Overall, the lighting helps support stress-free, comfortable birds throughout the barn.
Robert’s experience highlights how the right lighting system can go beyond basic illumination to actively support welfare and production. He’s been so pleased with the results that he’s shared his experience with other farmers, and plans to equip his upcoming buildings with the same lighting solution.
