The study was conducted in order to compare the effects of
light-emitting diode (LED) light with a different color on performance
parameters, histomorphometric features of the small intestine and some
blood parameters in growing partridges. For this purpose, a total of 450
Chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar) were perdivided into three
experimental groups including green light (GL), daylight (DL) and blue
light (BL), and 250-lumen lighting. Each group contained 150 partridges
with 5 repetitions per group. Experimental groups balanced according to
initial live weight and raised under the same feeding and environmental
conditions within the scope of the needs of partridges during 35 days.
GL group showed higher live weight (P<0.05), live weight gain (P<0.01)
and feed intake (P<0.05). Feed conversion and viability rates were
similar among the groups (P>0.05). Higher villus height (VH), villus
width, villus surface area were obtained in GL group, followed by DL and
BL (P<0.001). The differences in crypt depth (CD) and VH/CD were not
significant (P>0.05). Serum glucose (P<0.01) and lactate dehydrogenase
levels (LDH) (P<0.05) were increased in GL groups. Serum high-density
lipoprotein level (HDL) was found to be higher in DL group (P<0.01).
Consequently, GL group had better results in growing partridges. GL
could be utilized under intensive farming conditions for partridges.
