Definitions

  • the invention relates to a luminescent lamp for lighting birds, particularly poultry.
  • the invention also relates to a poultry farmhouse with interior lighting comprising one or more of such luminescent lamps.
  • the invention also relates to the use of such luminescent lamp in a poultry farmhouse.
  • the invention relates to a method of bird farming, including lighting birds during a predetermined period of time, the lighting being performed with one or more of such luminescent lamps.
  • Poultry farming (or poultry husbandry) is a growing branch in the production of meat, eggs and feathers. Commercial factors promote poultry farming in large poultry farms.
  • US 4,625,728 describes a method of improving egg production by irradiating poultry with energy levels, the first of which is within a wavelength band of 600 to 670 nm and is supplied at a rate of at least 1013 quanta/second/cm 2 , and, if this first radiation is less than 1013 quanta/second/cm 2 , at least 75% of the total supply of energy is within the first wavelength band.
  • the second radiation energy level is within a wavelength band of 400 to 600 nm and is supplied at a rate of at least 1014 quanta/second/cm 2 , and, if this second radiation is less than 1014 quanta/second/cm 2 , at least 80% of the total supply of energy is within the wavelength band of 400 to 600 nm.
  • the invention also includes control of the period of time during which the irradiation is supplied.
  • WO 1998011946 describes an apparatus and methods for enhancing fowl productivity by providing a light source having a desired output spectrum, and for illuminating the light source close to or actually on the head of the fowl.
  • the novel 'local' illumination provided thereby eliminates significant variations in illumination applied to the fowl in accordance with the prior art due to variations of their location relative to an illumination source. This enhances economy because feeding costs resulting from over- illumination are reduced without decreasing growth and reproductivity.
  • Sunlight in Europe or northern America typically contains UV-A of the order of 6 % and UV-B of the order of 0.16 %.
  • Typical illumination levels outdoors can run up to 100.000 lux on a sunny day.
  • illumination is normally several orders of magnitude lower.
  • Most chicken houses are illuminated at a level of 5 lux.
  • EU legislation is moving towards 20 lux, and some 'organic' farmers go up to 80 lux.
  • UV-A level would still be only around 1/1000th or even 1/lO.OOOth of that of the sun at normal outdoor light levels. Therefore, if a light source is to be designed to enable avian UV vision indoors at lower light levels, the UV-A levels must be chosen to be significantly higher.
  • the invention provides a luminescent lamp for lighting birds, particularly poultry, which lamp is arranged to generate light in the UV-A and visible range, the luminescent lamp comprising a UV-A transmissive discharge vessel enclosing, in a gastight manner, a discharge space provided with an inert gas and mercury and comprising discharge means for maintaining a discharge in the discharge space during operation of the luminescent lamp, wherein the discharge vessel comprises a discharge vessel surface and at least a part of the surface of the discharge vessel is provided with a luminescent material layer comprising a luminescent material, the luminescent material comprising a UV-A- luminescent material, a blue-luminescent material, a green- luminescent material and a red- luminescent material, wherein the luminescent material layer preferably comprises at least 20 wt.%, such as 20-50 wt.%, preferably at least 25 wt.%, of the UV-A- luminescent material relative to the total quantity of luminescent materials in the
  • Light sources of this type may be suitably used particularly in bird farming or bird husbandry, and they may be used to prevent or reduce feather picking and/or to improve the well-being of birds, particularly poultry.
  • UV-producing lamps According to the prior art, a substantially pure tri-band lamp and UV-A light appears to provide an advantageous alternative.
  • Substantially all of these UV-producing lamps according to the prior art are colloquially referred to as 'full spectrum lamps', i.e. they use a large number of luminescent materials or luminescent materials with a wide emission spectrum (such as halophosphates).
  • the emission spectrum of these lamps has a relatively continuous character, certainly when compared with a three-phosphor fluorescent lamp, such as a typical '80 series' luminescent lamp.
  • these light sources are claimed to be natural, i.e. close to the solar spectrum and were thus considered to have positive effects on the health and well-being of humans and animals.
  • UV-A levels also seemed to be the installation of lamps which almost only emit UV-A, such as 'blacklight-blue' lamps in between the light sources emitting light in the human range of vision. In practice, this appears to cause two problems. Because of the locally very high intensity of UV-A, such lamps attract a large number of insects, effectively shielding the lamp. Taking the ratio of UV and human visual radiation into account, about one out of every four or five installed lamps would have to be of the UV-A emitting type. In many cases, homogeneity of the light distribution is very important, particularly in bird housing, such as poultry housing. This also applies to the UV radiation. Consequently, installing UV-A lamps in addition to an existing 'human visual' lighting installation is not an option. The invention therefore provides a luminescent lamp which provides both UV-A and visible light.
  • the luminescent lamp according to the invention can be particularly used as a light source in a poultry farmhouse. Furthermore, this lamp can also be used as a light source in bird industry for reducing (or substantially preventing) feather picking. In particular, this lamp can be used to provide light having a UV-A contribution (in W) of at least 15 % relative to the total quantity of UV-A, UV-B and visible light (in W). According to a further aspect, the invention also provides a poultry farmhouse with interior lighting comprising one or more luminescent lamps according to the invention.
  • the invention also provides a bird cage with (interior) lighting comprising one or more luminescent lamps according to the invention.
  • the invention provides a method of bird farming, such as poultry farming, including lighting birds with one or more luminescent lamps according to the invention.
  • Birds belong to the class of Aves.
  • poultry may refer to the category of domesticated birds kept by some humans for their eggs, meat and/or feathers. These are most typically members of the super order galloanserae (fowl), particularly the order galliformes (which includes chickens and turkeys) and the family of Anatidae (in the order Anseriformes), commonly known as "waterfowl” (e.g. domestic ducks and domestic geese).
  • Poultry also includes other birds which humans kill for their meat, such as pigeons, doves or pheasants. Characteristic poultry birds are chicken, duck, goose, peacock, swan and turkey.
  • the term "bird” is used, since the luminescent lamp and method of the invention may not only be advantageous to poultry, but also to birds in general, such as domestic birds like the canary, parakeet, etc.
  • the term "luminescent lamp” refers to lamps that are sometimes also referred to as phosphorescent lamps or fluorescent lamps. An example of such a lamp is a compact luminescent lamp (CFL: compact fluorescent lamp).
  • the wavelength ranges are chosen as: UV- B, 280 nm to 320 nm; UV-A, 320 nm to 400 nm and human visual, 400 nm to 780 nm.

  • UV-A radiation is not visible to humans (at least not to adults). However, many animals can see UV-A. If these are kept indoors, without UV-A containing solar radiation entering unfiltered, they will miss a considerable amount of visible information.
  • the light generated by the luminescent lamp comprises a UV-A part and a visible part and optionally a UV-B part. Note that, in general, UV radiation is not really considered to be light, since it is not visible to humans. However, for the sake of simplicity, the UV-A and visible output of the lamp during use is herein indicated by the term "light".

  • An overview of lamps is given in Figure 3. As can be derived from this Figure, none of the evaluated prior-art lamps provides a column efficiency of at least about 60 lm/W and a UV-A content of at least about 15% relative to the total amount of UV-A and visible light (in W).
  • Luminescent material mixtures were applied to discharge vessels by means of standard coating techniques, and T5 28W / T5 54W / PLS 7W lamps were made.
  • the optical data of the lamps during use and the composition of the luminescent material mixtures applied are indicated in Table 1.
  • Mixtures comprising 250 g of luminescent material, 200 ml of binder, 12.5 ml of a 10% Alon-C butyl acetate solution and 200 ml of butyl acetate were applied for the lamps of Tables 1, 2a/2b, and 4a/4b.
  • the applied luminescent material mixtures and the optical data of the lamps during use are indicated in Tables 2a and 2b, respectively.
  • Table 2a gives the values for the UV-A output and other details
  • Table 2b gives the data as obtained after measuring the lamp.
  • Table 4a gives the values for the UV-A output and other details;
  • Table 4b gives the data as obtained after measuring the lamp.
  • Figure 3 relates to data of prior- art lamps.
  • % UV-A is indicated in the Table, it relates to the % in W relative to the total W in the visible, UV-B and UV-A range. Most lamps were made by depositing the suspension on the internal area of the discharge vessel and then drying at room temperature in air (flow 10 1/min.). A coating weight of about 3 mg/cm 2 was obtained.
  • Lamps of the Philips PL-S 4P 7W type were made by means of standard PL processing methods (coating, drying, sintering (5 minutes at 520 0 C in air)), dividing the glass tube (200 mm into two parts of 100 mm with one end closed), bridging at 5 - 10 mm from the closed part of the tubes; electrode/mercury sealing and pumping/filling. 3 mg of a mercury dosage and a 10 mBar Ar gas-filling were used.
  • Luminescent lamps according to the invention were compared with state-of- the-art luminescent lamps in poultry farms. Use of luminescent lamps of the invention leads to a reduction in, feather picking among the poultry as compared to use of prior-art lamps.
  • the UV-A luminescent material content was varied and the UV-A output was measured. The following results were obtained:
