将雄性和雌性肉鸡在30 1 x的蓝色、绿色、红色或白色光下饲养28 d，并记录对组织生长和鸟行为的影响。在红色或白色光下饲养的鸟类更活跃，表现为在白色光处理下更大的行走活动，以及在红光处理下更大的啄食地板、伸展翅膀和侵略性。在这两种治疗中，肠道内容物和皮肤和骨骼重量减少。28 d后，确定鸟对蓝色、红色或绿色光的偏好，以及饲养颜色对鸟生长的残留影响。在测试的最初几个小时里，这些鸟选择保持它们饲养的颜色，除了在红光下饲养的鸟很快表现出对蓝光的偏好。1周后，所有处理组的鸟都表现出对蓝光的偏好，除了在蓝光中饲养的鸟表现出对新颜色绿色的偏好。得出的结论是，对于肉鸡，蓝色或绿色光比红色或白色光更优选，因为其使禽类保持平静并且是禽类自己选择的。
Male and female meat chickens were reared for 28 d in blue, green, red, or white Light at 30 1x and the effects on tissue growth and bird behavior recorded. Birds reared in red or white Light were more active, as expressed by greater walking activity in the white light treatment and by greater floor-pecking, wing-stretching, and aggression in the red light treatment. In these two treatments, gut contents and skin and bone weights were reduced. After 28 d, the preference of the birds for blue, red, or green lights was determined, as well as residual effects of rearing color on bird growth. In the first few hours of the test, the birds chose to remain in their rearing color, except that the birds reared in red light quickly showed a preference for blue light. After 1 wk, birds in all treatments showed a preference for blue light, except that the birds reared in blue light showed some preference for a novel color, green. It was concluded that blue or green light is preferable to red or white light for broilers because it keeps the birds calmer and is chosen by the birds themselves.
