InfoWeb Marketplace · Editorial teamPublished on 29 June 2010 · 1 min read
Lighting systems in livestock buildings help to increase the production of dairy cows. Research has shown increases of 4 to 15% in milk production. Long periods of light have a very positive influence on yield, fertility and herd health.
It has been established that, over 24 hours, a cycle of 16 hours of light at 180 lux and 8 hours of darkness delivered the best production results. DeLaval is marketing a FL400F lamp that is more powerful than the FL250F.
Until now, DeLaval marketed one metal halide lamp model: the FL250F lamp. The new DeLaval FL400F lamp is also a metal halide lamp, but more powerful, to provide very good lighting for tall buildings.
DeLaval lamps have been specially developed to provide light close to daylight, so that animals can enjoy all the benefits of a long day of light. Both models are offered with a control box in which you can set an automatic lighting program. This system can also be controlled by a light sensor that switches the lamps on when the level of natural light falls below the threshold of 180 lux.
With the FL250F and FL400F lamps, DeLaval aims to provide optimal lighting for livestock buildings in order to improve milk production.
