QUESTION
Which of the light management programme is not recommended for growing pullets?
OPTIONS
(A) Increasing light
(B) Decreasing light
(C) Constant light
(D) None of these
ANSWER
(A) Increasing light
EXPLANATION
Increasing the photoperiod in growing pullets is generally not recommended because premature stimulation of reproductive development can lead to early sexual maturity and associated production problems. Decreasing or appropriately controlled light schedules are used during rearing to regulate maturity, making increasing light the incorrect programme.
