Abstract
The study was conducted to observe the effect of different light intensities i.e. 40,25,15, and 5 watts (illuminated feeder) at night with natural day light on the performance of broiler chicks. It was observed that the chicks kept under low light intensity i.e. 5,15 watts showed significantly better weight gain and feed conversion ratio than chicks kept under 25 and 40 watts light at night. It was also observed that light intensity had no significant effect on feed consumption, dressing percentage, mortality and abnormalities.
