Lighting in pig farms profoundly impacts growth rates, reproductive efficiency, and overall welfare. Scientifically designed lighting systems can reduce stress, enhance feed conversion, and accelerate weight gain. Here’s how lighting influences pigs at each growth stage:
Key Impacts of Lighting on Pigs
Growth Performance
Light Intensity:
50–100 lux for finishing pigs → ↑ 5–8% daily weight gain (Purdue University studies).
<20 lux causes lethargy; >200 lux increases aggression.
Photoperiod:
16–18 hours light for weaners/growers → ↑ feed intake & FCR efficiency.
8 hours darkness → critical for muscle recovery and hormone balance.
Reproduction & Farrowing
Sows/Gilts:
14–16 hours light at 150–200 lux → ↑ ovulation rates & conception.
<10 lux in gestation stalls → risk of anoestrus.
Farrowing Crates:
24-hour dimmable red light (10–15 lux) → prevents piglet crushing (sows stay calmer).
Behavioral Welfare
Uniform lighting reduces tail biting and aggression.
Dawn/dusk simulation (30-min dimming transitions) → ↓ stress during staff shifts.
