Adequate Light Is Essential To High Production In Laying Flocks By Paul Barwick With the price of eggs being as low as they are, egg producing far mers in North Carolina must get the highest possible production from each hen consuming feed. .

The cases 'are still under Investigation by the Duplin County Sheriff's Dept. fanners in Duplin County do not have sufficient light in their houses. In production of eggs, adequate lighting is absolutely necessary to hih production. In the hen, light en t(ks the hen's eye and stimulates the , pituitary gland in the grain. This produces a hormone which in turn Vorks on the egg manufactur ing system of the bird. During fall - winter months "whenf the daylight hours are considerably shorter, than spring and summer, it is necessary - to produce adequate lighting through artificial . means, electriciy, according to Wilson. ! To produce at capacity, a hen needs 14 hours, on the average,! of light per day. At this time of year, sufficient daylight hours for proper production are cut to from eight to nine hours. It is recommended that farmers In egg production business to see that their houses are properly ligh ted. A rule of thumb to follow is to have one watt of light for each hen in the house. Too, it is said that after a point wattage does not help the hen's producing ability. Farm ers should be careful .to see there are no dark spots in the house. So, in egg production, it is as essential to have proper lignting as it is to have proper feed for the hens.
