(1)家禽類の育成方法
 本発明の育成方法は、前述のように、育成阻害要因となる特定の環境下にて飼育されている育成期間中の家禽類に対する育成阻害要因緩和工程を含む。前記育成阻害要因緩和工程は、光源を用いて、光照射する照射工程を含む。前記光照射の光は、青色光である。
(1) Poultry breeding method As described above, the breeding method of the present invention includes a step of alleviating the breeding inhibitory factor for poultry during the breeding period that is bred in a specific environment that is a breeding inhibitory factor. The growth inhibitory factor mitigation step includes an irradiation step of irradiating light using a light source. The light of the light irradiation is blue light.
 本発明において、育成対象となる家禽類の種類は、特に制限されず、例えば、ニワトリ、ウズラ、シチメンチョウ、アヒル、ガチョウ等があり、好ましくは、ニワトリである。また、前記家禽類の用途は、特に制限されず、例えば、食肉用、採卵用、羽毛用等があげられる。また、本発明において、前記家禽類の性別は、特に制限されず、例えば、オスでもメスでもよい。 In the present invention, the type of poultry to be bred is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include chickens, quails, turkeys, ducks, geese, etc., and chickens are preferable. The use of the poultry is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include meat, egg collection, and feathers. Further, in the present invention, the sex of the poultry is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, male or female.
 本発明において、育成阻害要因となる特定の環境とは、特に制限されず、例えば、高温環境、高湿度環境、低温環境、低湿度環境等である。前記高温環境とは、一般的な飼育条件の温度よりも高い温度であり、例えば、育成初期における32~36℃等の飼育温度にある環境である。前記育成初期については、後述する。前記育成阻害要因となる特定の環境は、例えば、前記育成期間中において一時的な環境でもよいし、継続的及び恒久的な環境でもよい。 In the present invention, the specific environment that causes growth inhibition is not particularly limited, and is, for example, a high temperature environment, a high humidity environment, a low temperature environment, a low humidity environment, and the like. The high temperature environment is a temperature higher than the temperature of general breeding conditions, and is, for example, an environment at a breeding temperature of 32 to 36 ° C. at the initial stage of breeding. The initial stage of breeding will be described later. The specific environment that becomes the growth inhibitory factor may be, for example, a temporary environment during the growth period, or a continuous and permanent environment.
 前記青色光の波長は、例えば、435~480nmであり、好ましくは、440~460nmである。なお、前記青色光は、前記波長を含むものであればよく、他の波長等を含む場合であってもよい。 The wavelength of the blue light is, for example, 435 to 480 nm, preferably 440 to 460 nm. The blue light may include any wavelength, and may include other wavelengths and the like.
 前記青色光の照度は、例えば、5ルクス~100ルクスであり、好ましくは、5ルクス~60ルクスである。前記青色光の照射は、例えば、段階的に、照度を変更してもよく、具体的には、経時的に、照度を低下させてもよい。前記照度の低下は、例えば、段階的な低下でもよいし、連続的な低下でもよい。前記育成期間における前記青色光を照射する期間のうち、例えば、前半と後半とで、異なる照度としてもよい。この場合、例えば、前半に照射する前記青色光の照度と、後半に照射する前記青色光の照度とを、1:0.05~1:0.9の比率としてもよい。前記育成初期において、例えば、前記前半は、1週齢の間であり、前記後半は、2週齢の間が例示できる。 The illuminance of the blue light is, for example, 5 lux to 100 lux, preferably 5 lux to 60 lux. In the irradiation of the blue light, for example, the illuminance may be changed stepwise, and specifically, the illuminance may be lowered over time. The decrease in illuminance may be, for example, a gradual decrease or a continuous decrease. Of the period of irradiating the blue light in the growing period, for example, the first half and the second half may have different illuminances. In this case, for example, the illuminance of the blue light to be irradiated in the first half and the illuminance of the blue light to be irradiated in the second half may be a ratio of 1: 0.05 to 1: 0.9. In the initial stage of breeding, for example, the first half is during the 1-week age, and the latter half is during the 2-week age.
 前記光源は、特に制限されず、青色光を照射できる光源であればよい。前記光源は、例えば、LED(light emitting diode)等が使用できる。家禽類への前記青色光の照射には、前記光源を備えた光照射デバイスが使用できる。 The light source is not particularly limited as long as it is a light source capable of irradiating blue light. As the light source, for example, an LED (light emission diode) or the like can be used. A light irradiation device provided with the light source can be used for irradiating poultry with the blue light.
 前記照射工程において、家禽類に対して前記青色光を照射する環境は、特に制限されず、例えば、鶏舎等の屋内である。前記屋内における前記青色光の照射は、例えば、実質的に太陽光等の外部からの光が照射されていない環境下での、前記青色光の照射ともいえる。また、前記照射工程は、例えば、前記青色光以外の光を遮断して前記青色光を照射してもよい。 In the irradiation step, the environment for irradiating poultry with the blue light is not particularly limited, and is, for example, indoors such as a poultry house. The irradiation of the blue light indoors can be said to be, for example, the irradiation of the blue light in an environment in which external light such as sunlight is not substantially irradiated. Further, in the irradiation step, for example, the blue light may be irradiated by blocking light other than the blue light.
 本発明の育成方法において、前記照射工程は、育成期間中の家禽類に施せばよく、育成期間のステージは、特に制限されない。前記育成期間以外のステージにおける飼育条件は、特に制限されない。前記育成期間のステージとは、例えば、育成初期、育成中期、育成後期等のステージがある。本発明において、「育成初期」とは、入雛日を0日齢として0日齢から14日齢までの期間である。本発明において、「育成中期」とは、15日齢から35日齢までの期間である。また、本発明においては、例えば、前記育成期間の後、さらに、同様の前記青色光を照射してもよい。 In the breeding method of the present invention, the irradiation step may be applied to poultry during the breeding period, and the stage of the breeding period is not particularly limited. The breeding conditions at stages other than the breeding period are not particularly limited. The stages of the breeding period include, for example, stages such as an early stage of breeding, a middle stage of breeding, and a late stage of breeding. In the present invention, the "early stage of breeding" is a period from 0 days to 14 days, with the day of chicks being 0 days. In the present invention, the "mid-growth period" is a period from 15 days to 35 days. Further, in the present invention, for example, after the growing period, the same blue light may be further irradiated.
 前記育成期間において、前記青色光を照射する日数は、特に制限されず、下限の日数は、例えば、1日以上であり、上限の日数は、例えば、15日以下である。また、前記青色光の照射は、前記育成期間において毎日行われることが好ましい。具体的に、前記育成期間が前記育成初期である場合は、例えば、前記青色光の照射が、0日齢から14日齢までの間、毎日行われることが好ましい。 In the growing period, the number of days to irradiate the blue light is not particularly limited, the lower limit of the number of days is, for example, one day or more, and the upper limit of the number of days is, for example, 15 days or less. Moreover, it is preferable that the irradiation of the blue light is performed every day during the growing period. Specifically, when the growing period is the initial stage of growing, it is preferable that, for example, the irradiation of the blue light is performed every day from 0 days to 14 days of age.
 前記青色光の照射は、例えば、前記育成期間の各ステージにおける最初から最後まで行ってもよいし、前記育成期間の各ステージのうち所定の期間に行ってもよい。 The irradiation of the blue light may be performed from the beginning to the end of each stage of the growing period, or may be performed during a predetermined period of each stage of the growing period, for example.
 前記育成期間において、一日あたりの前記青色光の照射合計時間は、下限が、例えば、18時間以上であり、上限が、例えば、24時間以下である。 In the growing period, the lower limit of the total irradiation time of the blue light per day is, for example, 18 hours or more, and the upper limit is, for example, 24 hours or less.
 前記育成期間における前記青色光の照射は、例えば、断続的に行ってもよい。前記青色光を照射する照射期間は、例えば、夜17時から朝6時の間において、合計0時間を超え6時間以下の間、前記青色光を非照射としてもよい。 The irradiation of the blue light during the growing period may be performed intermittently, for example. The irradiation period for irradiating the blue light may be, for example, between 17:00 and 6:00 am, and the blue light may be non-irradiated for a total of more than 0 hours and 6 hours or less.
 本発明において、前記育成期間以降の育成条件は、何ら制限されず、例えば、従来の条件を採用できる。 In the present invention, the growing conditions after the growing period are not limited in any way, and for example, conventional conditions can be adopted.
(2)家禽類の体質コントロール方法
 本発明の家禽類の体質コントロール方法は、育成期間中の家禽類に対して、光源を用いて、光照射する照射工程と、前記家禽類の飼育領域内の温度を制御する温度制御工程とを含む。前記光照射の光が、青色光である。本発明において、前記青色光の照射は、前述した本発明の育成方法の記載を援用できる。
(2) Poultry Constitution Control Method The poultry constitution control method of the present invention comprises an irradiation step of irradiating poultry during the breeding period with light using a light source, and a poultry breeding area. It includes a temperature control step of controlling the temperature. The light of the light irradiation is blue light. In the present invention, the above-mentioned description of the growing method of the present invention can be incorporated for the irradiation of the blue light.
 本発明において、「体質」とは、特に制限されず、例えば、体重、体格、肉質(筋肉質、脂肪が多い等)、血液成分等がある。 In the present invention, the "constitution" is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, body weight, physique, flesh (muscle, abundant fat, etc.), blood components, and the like.
 前記温度制御工程は、予め設定した温度が一定になるように制御する。前記予め設定した温度は、例えば、19℃~33℃の範囲内の任意の温度である。前記平温とは、一般的な飼育条件の温度と同程度の温度であり、例えば、育成初期における27~31℃等の温度であり、前記高温とは、一般的な飼育条件の温度よりも高い温度であり、例えば、育成初期における32~36℃等の温度である。前記温度制御工程は、例えば、具体的に、ファン、エア・コンディショナー等の空調装置、ヒーター等の暖房装置、冷房装置、窓の自動開閉装置等の装置を用いることで、前記温度を制御する。また、前記温度制御工程は、例えば、前記各装置に加えて、作業員(飼育員等)が手動で窓を開閉することで前記温度を制御してもよい。 The temperature control process controls so that the preset temperature becomes constant. The preset temperature is, for example, an arbitrary temperature within the range of 19 ° C. to 33 ° C. The normal temperature is a temperature similar to the temperature of general breeding conditions, for example, a temperature of 27 to 31 ° C. at the initial stage of breeding, and the high temperature is higher than the temperature of general breeding conditions. It is a high temperature, for example, a temperature of 32 to 36 ° C. at the initial stage of growing. In the temperature control step, for example, the temperature is controlled by using an air conditioner such as a fan or an air conditioner, a heating device such as a heater, a cooling device, or an automatic window opening / closing device. Further, in the temperature control step, for example, in addition to the above-mentioned devices, a worker (a keeper or the like) may manually open and close the window to control the temperature.
 本発明の体質コントロール方法は、例えば、さらに、温度測定工程を含んでもよい。前記温度測定工程は、前記飼育領域内の温度を測定する工程である。前記飼育領域は、特に制限されず、例えば、鶏舎内の家禽類が収容されているケージ、小屋等である。前記温度の測定は、連続的に実施することで前記飼育領域内の温度を監視してもよいし、間欠的(例えば、1時間毎、6時間毎等)に実施することで、前記飼育領域内の温度を監視してもよい。 The constitution control method of the present invention may further include, for example, a temperature measurement step. The temperature measuring step is a step of measuring the temperature in the breeding area. The breeding area is not particularly limited, and is, for example, a cage, a hut, or the like in which poultry in the poultry house is housed. The temperature may be measured continuously to monitor the temperature in the breeding area, or intermittently (for example, every 1 hour, every 6 hours, etc.) to monitor the breeding area. The temperature inside may be monitored.
 本発明の体質コントロール方法は、前記照射工程において、前記青色光を照射し、且つ前記温度制御工程において、前記温度を平温となるように制御するパターン(パターン1ともいう)、前記照射工程において、前記青色光を照射し、且つ前記温度制御工程において、前記温度を高温となるように制御するパターン(パターン2ともいう)、前記照射工程において、前記青色光を照射せず、且つ前記温度制御工程において、前記温度を平温となるように制御するパターン(パターン3ともいう)、及び前記照射工程において、前記青色光を照射せず、且つ前記温度制御工程において、前記温度を高温となるように制御するパターン(パターン4ともいう)、の4つのパターンのうち少なくとも1つを用いて、前記家禽類の体質の変化を制御する。具体的には、例えば、前記家禽類の体重を増加させる場合には、前記パターン1を用い、前記家禽類の体重を減少させる場合には、前記パターン4を用いることが好ましい。 The constitution control method of the present invention is a pattern (also referred to as pattern 1) in which the blue light is irradiated in the irradiation step and the temperature is controlled to be normal in the temperature control step, in the irradiation step. A pattern (also referred to as pattern 2) that irradiates the blue light and controls the temperature to be high in the temperature control step, and does not irradiate the blue light in the irradiation step and controls the temperature. In the step, a pattern for controlling the temperature to be normal (also referred to as pattern 3), and in the irradiation step, the blue light is not irradiated, and in the temperature control step, the temperature is set to a high temperature. At least one of the four patterns (also referred to as pattern 4) is used to control changes in the constitution of the poultry. Specifically, for example, it is preferable to use the pattern 1 when increasing the weight of the poultry, and to use the pattern 4 when decreasing the weight of the poultry.
 前記温度が平温となるように制御するパターン1及び3は、例えば、経時的に前記温度を変更してもよい。前記温度を変更する場合、例えば、所定日数ごとに、所定温度ずつ低下させてもよい。前記所定日数は、例えば、1~3日であり、所定温度は、例えば、前記所定日数あたり1~2℃である。 Patterns 1 and 3 for controlling the temperature to be normal may be changed over time, for example. When the temperature is changed, for example, the temperature may be lowered by a predetermined temperature every predetermined number of days. The predetermined number of days is, for example, 1 to 3 days, and the predetermined temperature is, for example, 1 to 2 ° C. per the predetermined number of days.
 前記温度が高温となるように制御するパターン2及び4は、例えば、経時的に前記温度を変更してもよい。前記温度を変更する場合、例えば、所定日数に応じて、所定温度に低下させてもよい。前記所定日数は、例えば、1~3日であり、所定温度は、例えば、前記所定日数あたり1~2℃である。 Patterns 2 and 4 for controlling the temperature to be high may, for example, change the temperature over time. When the temperature is changed, for example, it may be lowered to a predetermined temperature according to a predetermined number of days. The predetermined number of days is, for example, 1 to 3 days, and the predetermined temperature is, for example, 1 to 2 ° C. per the predetermined number of days.
 パターン1~4は、例えば、前記育成期間の各ステージにおける最初から最後まで行ってもよいし、前記育成期間の各ステージのうち所定の期間に行ってもよい。 Patterns 1 to 4 may be performed, for example, from the beginning to the end of each stage of the growing period, or may be performed during a predetermined period of each stage of the growing period.
 前記パターン1~4は、例えば、前記家禽類の育成期間のステージや出荷時期等にあわせて、相互に切り替えてもよい。具体的には、例えば、育成初期や出荷時期を早くしたい等の場合は、前記パターン3から前記パターン1へと切り替えてもよい。一方で、育成初期以外や出荷時期を遅くしたい等の場合は、前記パターン1から前記パターン3へと切り替えてもよい。なお、これは例示であって、各パターンは、相互に切替可能である。 The patterns 1 to 4 may be switched to each other according to, for example, the stage of the breeding period of the poultry, the shipping time, and the like. Specifically, for example, when it is desired to accelerate the initial stage of growing or the shipping time, the pattern 3 may be switched to the pattern 1. On the other hand, if it is not the initial stage of growing or if it is desired to delay the shipping time, the pattern 1 may be switched to the pattern 3. It should be noted that this is an example, and each pattern can be switched between each other.
 前記温度測定工程を含む場合であって、例えば、前記測定した温度が予め設定した温度以上または予め設定した温度以下である場合に、本発明の体質コントロール方法は、前記パターン1~4のうち少なくとも1つを自動的に実施してもよい。前記温度は、特に制限されず、任意に設定可能である。 In the case where the temperature measuring step is included, for example, when the measured temperature is equal to or higher than a preset temperature or lower than or equal to a preset temperature, the constitution control method of the present invention is at least one of the patterns 1 to 4. One may be carried out automatically. The temperature is not particularly limited and can be set arbitrarily.
 本発明の育成方法において、前記照射工程及び前記温度制御工程は、育成期間中の家禽類に施せばよく、育成期間のステージは、特に制限されない。前記育成期間以外のステージにおける飼育条件は、特に制限されない。前記育成期間のステージとは、例えば、前述と同様である。また、本発明においては、例えば、前記育成期間の後、さらに、前記パターン1~4の少なくとも一方を用いて飼育してもよい。 In the breeding method of the present invention, the irradiation step and the temperature control step may be applied to poultry during the breeding period, and the stage of the breeding period is not particularly limited. The breeding conditions at stages other than the breeding period are not particularly limited. The stage of the growing period is, for example, the same as described above. Further, in the present invention, for example, after the breeding period, at least one of the patterns 1 to 4 may be used for breeding.
 前記育成期間において、前記パターン1~4を実施する日数は、特に制限されず、下限の日数は、例えば、0日以上であり、上限の日数は、例えば、15日以下である。また、前記パターン1~4の少なくとも1つの実施は、前記育成期間において毎日行われることが好ましい。具体的に、前記育成期間が前記育成初期である場合は、例えば、前記パターン1が、0日齢から14日齢までの間、毎日行われることが好ましい。一方で、前記育成期間が前記育成初期以外である場合は、例えば、前記パターン1~4のうち、いずれか1つが、15日齢以降の間、毎日行われることが好ましい。 In the growing period, the number of days for carrying out the patterns 1 to 4 is not particularly limited, the lower limit number of days is, for example, 0 days or more, and the upper limit number of days is, for example, 15 days or less. Moreover, it is preferable that at least one of the patterns 1 to 4 is carried out every day during the growing period. Specifically, when the growing period is the initial stage of growing, for example, it is preferable that the pattern 1 is performed every day from 0 days to 14 days. On the other hand, when the growing period is other than the initial stage of growing, for example, it is preferable that any one of the patterns 1 to 4 is carried out every day during the age of 15 days or later.
 前記育成期間において、一日あたりの前記温度の制御合計時間は、下限が、例えば、180時間以上であり、上限が、例えば、24時間以下であり、好ましくは、20時間である。 In the growing period, the lower limit of the total temperature control time per day is, for example, 180 hours or more, and the upper limit is, for example, 24 hours or less, preferably 20 hours.
 パターン1及び2における前記青色光の照射は、例えば、断続的に行ってもよい。前記青色光を照射する照射期間は、例えば、夜17時から朝6時の間において、合計0時間を超え6時間以下の間、前記青色光を非照射としてもよい。 The irradiation of the blue light in patterns 1 and 2 may be performed intermittently, for example. The irradiation period for irradiating the blue light may be, for example, between 17:00 and 6:00 am, and the blue light may be non-irradiated for a total of more than 0 hours and 6 hours or less.
 前記育成期間において、前記青色光の照射及び前記温度以外の飼育条件は、特に制限されず、一般的な条件が採用できる。また、本発明において、前記育成期間以降の育成条件は、何ら制限されず、例えば、従来の条件を採用できる。 During the breeding period, the breeding conditions other than the blue light irradiation and the temperature are not particularly limited, and general conditions can be adopted. Further, in the present invention, the growing conditions after the growing period are not limited in any way, and for example, conventional conditions can be adopted.

 空調部30は、飼育領域の空調を実行する。前記飼育領域とは、例えば、前述と同様である。前記空調は、特に制限されず、例えば、前記飼育領域を暖めるように、または高温を維持するように、実行してもよい。また、前記空調は、例えば、前記飼育領域を冷やすように、または低温を維持するように、実行してもよい。さらに、前記空調は、例えば、前記飼育領域を平温に維持するように、実行してもよい。前記高温は、前述と同様に、例えば、育成初期における32~36℃等であり、前記低温は、一般的な飼育条件の温度よりも低い温度であり、例えば、育成初期における20~26℃等であり、前記平温は、前述と同様に、例えば、育成初期における27~31℃等である。空調部30は、例えば、具体的に、ファン、エア・コンディショナー等の空調装置、ヒーター等の暖房装置、冷房装置、窓の自動開閉装置等の装置が使用できる。また、空調部30に加えて、例えば、作業員(飼育員等)が手動で窓を開閉することで前記飼育領域の空調を実行してもよい。 The air conditioning unit 30 executes air conditioning in the breeding area. The breeding area is, for example, the same as described above. The air conditioning is not particularly limited, and may be performed, for example, to warm the breeding area or maintain a high temperature. Further, the air conditioning may be performed, for example, to cool the breeding area or maintain a low temperature. Further, the air conditioning may be performed, for example, to maintain the breeding area at a normal temperature. The high temperature is, for example, 32 to 36 ° C. in the initial stage of breeding, and the low temperature is a temperature lower than the temperature of general breeding conditions, for example, 20 to 26 ° C. in the initial stage of breeding. The normal temperature is, for example, 27 to 31 ° C. at the initial stage of growing, as described above. As the air conditioner unit 30, for example, an air conditioner such as a fan or an air conditioner, a heating device such as a heater, a cooling device, an automatic opening / closing device for windows, or the like can be used. Further, in addition to the air conditioning unit 30, for example, a worker (breeder or the like) may manually open and close the window to perform air conditioning in the breeding area.
 制御部40は、予め設定した条件に基づき、前記青色光源による光照射と、前記空調とを制御する。制御部40と、光源部20及び空調部30とは、例えば、通信回線網(図示せず)を介して、通信可能であってもよい。これにより、制御部40は、例えば、光源部20及び空調部30に、光照射を指示する光照射信号や空調を指示する空調信号等を出力する。すなわち、前記飼育領域に存在する家禽類は、光源部20が発する光(青色光や白色光等)による光照射と、空調部30による空調の影響とを、受ける。 The control unit 40 controls the light irradiation by the blue light source and the air conditioning based on preset conditions. The control unit 40, the light source unit 20, and the air conditioning unit 30 may be able to communicate with each other via, for example, a communication network (not shown). As a result, the control unit 40 outputs, for example, a light irradiation signal instructing light irradiation, an air conditioning signal instructing air conditioning, and the like to the light source unit 20 and the air conditioning unit 30. That is, the poultry existing in the breeding area is affected by the light irradiation by the light source unit 20 (blue light, white light, etc.) and the air conditioning by the air conditioning unit 30.
 前記通信回線網は、特に制限されず、公知のネットワークを使用でき、例えば、有線でも無線でもよい。前記通信回線網は、例えば、インターネット回線、WWW(World Wide Web)、電話回線、LAN(Local Area Network)、SAN(Storage Area Network)、DTN(Delay Tolerant Networking)等があげられる。無線通信としては、例えば、WiFi(Wireless Fidelity)、Bluetooth(登録商標)等が挙げられる。前記無線通信としては、各装置が直接通信する形態(Ad Hoc通信)、アクセスポイントを介した間接通信のいずれであってもよい。本装置10は、前記通信回線網を介して、外部装置(外部データベース、プリンター、記憶装置、撮像装置等)と接続可能であってもよい。 The communication network is not particularly limited, and a known network can be used. For example, it may be wired or wireless. Examples of the communication line network include an Internet line, WWW (World Wide Web), a telephone line, LAN (Local Area Network), SAN (Storage Area Network), DTN (Delay Tolerant Networking), and the like. Examples of wireless communication include WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) and Bluetooth (registered trademark). The wireless communication may be either a form in which each device directly communicates (Ad Hoc communication) or an indirect communication via an access point. The device 10 may be connectable to an external device (external database, printer, storage device, image pickup device, etc.) via the communication network.
 制御部40は、例えば、前記光照射の照度を段階的に変更するように、制御してもよく、具体的には、経時的に、照度を低下させてもよい。前記照度の低下は、例えば、段階的な低下でもよいし、連続的な低下でもよい。また、制御部40は、例えば、前記空調を段階的に変更するように、制御してもよく、具体的には、経時的に、前記飼育領域内の温度を上昇または下降させてもよい。前記温度の上昇または下降は、例えば、連続的でもよいし、段階的でもよい。 The control unit 40 may be controlled so as to change the illuminance of the light irradiation stepwise, for example, or specifically, the illuminance may be lowered with time. The decrease in illuminance may be, for example, a gradual decrease or a continuous decrease. Further, the control unit 40 may control, for example, to change the air conditioning stepwise, and specifically, the temperature in the breeding area may be raised or lowered over time. The temperature rise or fall may be continuous or gradual, for example.
 制御部40は、例えば、0日齢の家禽類を前記飼育領域に収容した収容日に基づき、前記光照射及び前記空調の制御を実行してもよい。具体的には、例えば、収容日から1週間までは、前記青色光による光照射をし、且つ前記飼育領域内を平温となるように制御し、且つ収容日から2週間までは、前記青色光による光照射をせず、且つ前記飼育領域内を高温となるように制御する、等の制御を実行してもよい。なお、これは、例示であって、これに限定されない。前記青色光による光照射をしない場合は、例えば、他の色(白色等)の光による光照射を行ってもよいし、太陽光等の外部からの光を照射してもよい。 The control unit 40 may execute the control of the light irradiation and the air conditioning based on the accommodation date when the 0-day-old poultry is housed in the breeding area, for example. Specifically, for example, the blue light is irradiated from the containment date for one week, the inside of the breeding area is controlled to be normal, and the blue color is set for two weeks from the containment date. Controls such as controlling the inside of the breeding area to a high temperature without irradiating with light may be performed. It should be noted that this is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. When the light irradiation by the blue light is not performed, for example, the light irradiation by the light of another color (white or the like) may be performed, or the light from the outside such as sunlight may be irradiated.
 前記予め設定した条件は、特に制限されない。前記予め設定した条件が、例えば、前記飼育領域内の温度条件である場合、本装置10は、さらに、測定部を含んでもよい。前記測定部は、前記飼育領域内の温度を測定する。この場合、制御部40は、前記温度が予め設定した温度以上である場合に、前記青色光源による光照射へと切り替えるように制御してもよい。後述の実施例の結果から分かるように、家禽類は、高温環境下において、育成速度が遅くなる。そこで、本装置10によれば、前記飼育領域内の温度が高温であるときに、前記青色光を照射することで、家禽類の育成速度の遅れを緩和できる。 The preset conditions are not particularly limited. When the preset condition is, for example, a temperature condition in the breeding area, the apparatus 10 may further include a measuring unit. The measuring unit measures the temperature in the breeding area. In this case, the control unit 40 may control to switch to light irradiation by the blue light source when the temperature is equal to or higher than a preset temperature. As can be seen from the results of the examples described later, poultry grow at a slower rate in a high temperature environment. Therefore, according to the present device 10, when the temperature in the breeding region is high, the delay in the breeding speed of poultry can be alleviated by irradiating the blue light.
 前記予め設定した条件が、例えば、飼育データである場合、本装置10は、さらに、記憶部を含んでもよい。前記記憶部は、飼育データを蓄積して記憶する。前記飼育データは、特に制限されず、例えば、体重、斃死数等の飼育中の家禽類に関する情報や、例えば、温度、湿度等の飼育領域に関する情報である。前記飼育データは、例えば、本装置10が、前記通信回線網を介して、取得してもよいし、入力装置(キーボード、タッチパネル等)を介して、前記各情報を入力されることで、取得してもよい。この場合、制御部40は、前記飼育データに基づき、光源部20による光照射及び空調部30による空調を制御してもよい。 When the preset condition is, for example, breeding data, the apparatus 10 may further include a storage unit. The storage unit accumulates and stores breeding data. The breeding data is not particularly limited, and is, for example, information on poultry in captivity such as body weight and number of deaths, and information on breeding areas such as temperature and humidity. The breeding data may be acquired by, for example, the apparatus 10 via the communication network, or by inputting the respective information via an input device (keyboard, touch panel, etc.). You may. In this case, the control unit 40 may control the light irradiation by the light source unit 20 and the air conditioning by the air conditioning unit 30 based on the breeding data.
 制御部40は、例えば、CPU,GPU等の中央演算装置(中央処理装置)が使用できる。 The control unit 40 can use, for example, a central arithmetic unit (central processing unit) such as a CPU or GPU.

 これらの結果を図2に示す。図2(A)は、14日齢におけるオスのニワトリの体重を示すグラフであり、図2(B)は、14日齢におけるメスのニワトリの体重を示すグラフである。図2(A)に示すように、平温環境下で青色光を照射した実施例1-1(オス)は、比較例1-1(オス)に対して、14.8%の体重増加が確認された。また、高温環境下で青色光を照射した実施例1-2(オス)は、比較例1-2(オス)に対して、26.9%の体重増加が確認された。図2(B)に示すように、メスでもオスと同様の結果であり、実施例2-1(メス)は、比較例2-1(メス)に対して、20.0%の体重増加が確認された。また、実施例2-2(メス)は、比較例2-2(メス)に対して、28.4%の体重増加が確認された。これら結果から、高温環境下において、青色光を照射することで、オス及びメスともに、ニワトリの成長を促進できることが分かった。 These results are shown in Fig. 2. FIG. 2 (A) is a graph showing the weight of a male chicken at 14 days of age, and FIG. 2 (B) is a graph showing the weight of a female chicken at 14 days of age. As shown in FIG. 2 (A), Example 1-1 (male) irradiated with blue light in a normal temperature environment gained 14.8% of weight gain as compared with Comparative Example 1-1 (male). confirmed. In addition, it was confirmed that Example 1-2 (male) irradiated with blue light in a high temperature environment gained 26.9% of weight as compared with Comparative Example 1-2 (male). As shown in FIG. 2 (B), the results were similar to those of males in females, and Example 2-1 (female) gained 20.0% of the weight gain of Comparative Example 2-1 (female). confirmed. In addition, it was confirmed that Example 2-2 (female) gained 28.4% of the weight of Comparative Example 2-2 (female). From these results, it was found that the growth of chickens can be promoted in both males and females by irradiating with blue light in a high temperature environment.
 さらに、図2(A)に示すように、高温環境下で白色光を照射した比較例1-2(オス)は、平温環境下で白色光を照射した比較例1-1(オス)に対して、30.8%の体重減少が確認された。また、図2(B)に示すように、メスでもオスと同様に、比較例2-2(メス)は、比較例2-1(メス)に対して、22.8%の体重減少が確認された。このことから、高温環境が、オス及びメスともに、ニワトリの育成阻害要因であることが分かった。一方で、図2(A)に示すように、高温環境下で青色光を照射した実施例1―2(オス)は、平温環境下で青色光を照射した実施例1-1(オス)に対して、23.6%の体重減少が確認された。また、図2(B)に示すように、実施例2-2(メス)は、実施例2-1(メス)に対して、17.4%の体重減少が確認された。これらの結果から、育成阻害要因となる高温環境下において、オス及びメスともに、青色光を照射することで、育成阻害要因を緩和できることが分かった。さらに、高温環境下で青色光を照射することで、平温環境下と比較して、有意に高い成長促進効果が得られた。下記表1及び2に、各実施例及び各比較例における14日齢のニワトリの平均体重及び標準誤差を示す。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), Comparative Example 1-2 (male) irradiated with white light in a high temperature environment is replaced with Comparative Example 1-1 (male) irradiated with white light in a normal temperature environment. On the other hand, a weight loss of 30.8% was confirmed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), it was confirmed that the weight loss of Comparative Example 2-2 (female) was 22.8% as compared with that of Comparative Example 2-1 (female) in the female as well as in the male. Was done. From this, it was found that the high temperature environment is a factor that inhibits the growth of chickens in both males and females. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), Example 1-2 (male) irradiated with blue light in a high temperature environment is Example 1-1 (male) irradiated with blue light in a normal temperature environment. However, a weight loss of 23.6% was confirmed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), a weight loss of 17.4% was confirmed in Example 2-2 (female) as compared with Example 2-1 (female). From these results, it was found that the growth-inhibiting factor can be alleviated by irradiating both males and females with blue light in a high-temperature environment that is a growth-inhibiting factor. Furthermore, by irradiating blue light in a high temperature environment, a significantly higher growth promoting effect was obtained as compared with a normal temperature environment.
