ENHANCING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BROILER CHICKEN PRODUCTION USING ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
This paper explores the impact of electrical technologies—particularly LED lighting systems—on the energy efficiency and productivity of broiler chicken farming. Drawing upon experimental research and comparative analysis from leading Russian poultry science publications, as well as relevant global literature, the study evaluates the effectiveness of various lighting programs and technologies in improving production indicators, reducing energy consumption, and increasing economic efficiency. The findings demonstrate that modern energy-saving lighting programs can significantly enhance broiler productivity and reduce operational costs, making them a critical component in sustainable poultry farming practices.
