Full TextAbstract
Lighting is very important for turkey production, because their life period is longer than poultry (Nixey 1994). One of the important effects of lighting is to change the time of sexual maturity in pullets. Classen et al. (1994) concluded that constant light causes an increase incidence of leg problem and metabolic disorders. With lighting programs and lighting intensity, time of sexual maturation can be modified. Because there is little information about lighting programs in native turkey production in Iran, the aim of this research is determining the best lighting program for native turkey production.
