Abstract

Abstract. Environmental elements, including light and temperature, are known to have an impact on broiler performance. Broilers are frequently given constant or nearly continuous illumination in various places. This study aimed to determine how broiler gastrointestinal growth was affected by intermittent lighting and enzyme supplementation. One hundred sixty-eight broilers that were 42 old were chosen and raised from 8 to 42 days under continuous lighting, intermittent lighting photoperiods of 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, or 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness combination without and adding enzyme.
Broiler body weight gain and gastrointestinal tract weight were unaffected by the interplay between intermittent light and the addition of enzymes.
