Abstract

The present study was conducted to identify the average quantity of eggs production per week using incandescent light bulbs  and the compact fluorescent light (CFL) lamps energy-saving light at two departments (A and B) of poultry farm each one divided into five sectors under five different temperatures were 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 OC. Each sector were studied to find the relation between the eggs production of broiler breeders (cobb 500) and the light source in addation to increase of ambient temperature.The individual sector contains 4165 birds and beginning at the age from 24  to 56 week. Experiments were carried out at Misr Ismalia poultry farm Co. for broiler breeders and eggs production at “Abo - Sultan" of Ismalia City during the period from october, 2016 to may, 2017. The Average weekly  quantity and the percentage of  egg production for each sector in two departments were calculated and compared for  32 weeks. Eggs weight also compared.The obtained data cleared that the average weekly  quantity of produced eggs in  the shed A for sectores A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 were 84466, 83606, 82924, 82656 and 80961 egg, while in  the shed B for sectores B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 they were 82039, 80923, 79517, 78640 and 77418 eggs at temperature (20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 OC) respectively using incandescent light bulbs and CFL lamps during the period extenuation to 32 weeks in the poultry farm. The percentage of average weekly produced eggs decreased from 1% to 4.15% in  the shed A while it decreased from 1.36% to 5.63% in  the shed B when heat temperature increased from 20 OC to 24 OC in different sectors. The percentage of average weekly produced eggs in  the shed A increased by 2.87%, 3.21%, 4.11%, 4.86% and 4.38% in sectores A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 comparing to sectores B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 in  the shed B respectively. The Eggs weight in sheds A ranged from 48.5 to72.2 while it ranged from 49.7 to77.8  in  the shed B respectively.
