Abstract/Description: | The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of red spectrum of light (650nm, treated n=12) and normal spectrum of light (450nm control=12) on circulating concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone (P4), estradiol (E2β), GnRH mRNA, pause days and egg production in birds later in the reproductive period from 92-102weeks of age. Twenty-four White Leghorn birds of same age group were divided into two groups of 12 in each as control and treated. Birds in the control group were exposed to normal spectrum of light (450nm of length) and birds in the treated group were exposed to red spectrum of light (650nm, treated n=12). Egg production and inter sequence pauses were recorded daily from both the groups. Plasma LH, E2β and P4 concentrations were estimated in blood samples collected at weekly intervals. At 97th weeks of age, blood samples from treated and control birds were obtained every 3 h for 36 h to study the surges of LH. It was found that plasma GnRH was higher (p < 0. 01) in treated birds with high concentrations of LH, its 3 h LH surges, E2β and P4 in plasma. Higher egg production, less pause days in treated birds may be the result of high GnRH associated with positively correlated responses of high concentrations of LH (with regular interval and duration of LH surges), E2β and P4 concentration required for completion of egg formation and oviposition. In conclusion, red spectrum of light enhanced GnRH mRNA (p < 0. 01), increased (p < 0. 01) steroid hormones and LH surges, for egg formation and oviposition and enabled the birds to lay more eggs even later in the productive period with the available resources under normal husbandry practices |
