Why is Light Important to Layer Chicken?

The main goal for egg producers is to ensure that their hens continue to produce eggs year- round, to accomplish this goal, one of the MOST important factors to consider, next to over all health and nutrition of the flock, is LIGHTING.
The physiological action of light happens when it is precepted by the eye and converted into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain. The brain then coordinates the stimulus to influence the pituitary gland to secrete the necessary hormones for ovulation.
The avian reproductive cycle, which is how a hen produce eggs, is stimulated in poultry by increasing day length. As day length approaches 14 hours per day, chicken begin laying eggs, gradually increasing their production as the day length increases.
They will reach their maximum egg laying potential when the day-light reaches approximately 16 hours per day.
As mentioned, approximately 14 hours of light per day is REQUIRED to stimulate a hen to lay an egg.
Anything below that will cause her reproductive cycle to shut down, triggering the hen to cease egg production until the day length increases to sufficient levels.
Hence, artificial light is needed to be applied to make sure that the day length is 14 to 16 hours a day.
