Effects on white Leghorn hens of constant exposure to ultraviolet light from insect traps

JA Hogsette, HR Wilson, and SL Semple-Rowland

Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary Entomology Research, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, Gainesville, Florida 32604, USA.

Constant exposure of Hy-Line W-36 White Leghorn hens to ultraviolet light from insect traps resulted in no significant differences in egg production, fertility, hatchability of fertile eggs, or total hatchability. Also, there were no apparent effects on the eyes of the birds. Results were the same when either blacklight or blacklight blue tubes were used. The need for additional testing of light traps for nuisance fly control in commercial caged layer houses is discussed.
