Commercial and scientific trials prove that Greengage’s ALIS platform can deliver operational, productivity and environment improvements.
Below is a summary of some of the incremental improvements that compound to yield a return on investment. If you would like more information or proposal for your farm please contact us or complete the form opposite.
Influence of light
Light enters the retina to stimulate natural behaviours, physiology and growth.
Light also penetrates the skull to stimulate hormones necessary for egg production.
Uniform, controlled and coloured lighting reduces stress and encourages positive and natural behaviours.
ALIS lamps are developed for livestock vision. LEDs are selected to optimise performance against the domestic fowl photopic response.
Layers and pullets
Bespoke computer-aided lighting design for your barn plays a critical role for poultry growers since pullet maturity and layer output is influenced by light.*
Improved behaviour
From week one to five, broilers in the ALIS platform performed significantly more perching compared to birds under CFL lamps.†
Poultry love ALIS
Independent scientific trials have shown reductions in mortality, hock and foot pad sores with improvements in litter quality, mobility and perching.†
Production Yields
Research showed 21.30p gross margin per net kg using ALIS lamps and 20.43p for CFL. Difference 0.87p.† With an average final broiler weight of 2.75kg, this equates to 2.39p per bird.†
Welfare
ALIS induction power provides constant current with low to zero photometric flicker eliminating stress-inducing strobe effects.
Safety
Inductive power technology means the Power Hubs and Dawn till Dusk (DTD) Control Panels can be located in separate areas from livestock, improving safety and biosecurity.
