Please read todays independent editorial in Farmers Weekly outlining the work that JF McKenna Ltd have been doing with Fancom b.v. and HATO Agricultural Lighting and Chris Wright regarding DDS (dynamic Daylight Simulation) adaptive lighting systems and unique multi-spectrum control.
The measured date showed some remarkable results -
✅ 380,000 Ross 308 broilers across 8 houses.
✅ Dynamic daylight simulation installed in 4 existing houses and 4 new houses.
✅ Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) improved from 1.50 to 1.47.
✅ Equivalent to approximately 2% better feed efficiency.
✅ Feed savings of 8-12 tonnes per crop.
✅ At £358/t feed cost, savings of £2,864-£4,296 per crop.
✅ Average saving reported: £3,580 per crop across the four houses.
Over 100 houses now installed in UK.
