Figure 1 : Lighting cycle - Variation of intensity versus time
4.4.2.1 Editing a period
Each period can comprise up to 12 lighting cycles and 20 stimuli per day.
Each lighting cycle is performed as shown in Figure 1 . Transitions at the
beginning and end of the cycle simulate the natural sunrise and sunset to
reduce animal stress. Growth and weight gain are enhanced by the
introduction of momentary light stimuli during a light cycle.
Period start : (0 to 500 days)
Determines the start day for the period.
Nightlight : (0 to 100%)
Lighting intensity outside of lighting
cycles.
Daylight Mode :
- Constant : The Daylight intensity
remains steady over the period.
- Gradual : The Daylight intensity is auto-
maticaly adjusted during the period. A linear regression is applied as
shown in Figure 2 .
