Abstract

Lighting of livestock buildings affects the productivity of animals. The system of artificial LED lighting provides the reduction of energy costs in the livestock production at agro-industrial enterprises. A mathematical model is presented to substantiate the parameters of the system of artificial LED lighting of livestock premises. The system of artificial LED lighting should provide regulation of illumination depending on breed and light perception channels of an animal, use control programs of radiation spectrum and illumination duration. The results of mathematical analysis determined that illuminance, uniformity of illumination in livestock premises and power consumption of the LED system depends on the mounting height of lighting devices, as well as the type of light intensity curve, which are determined by the geometric features of LED lighting devices. The emission spectrum is determined by the type of LED light sources, while the duration and periodicity of the daylight hours is provided by the LED software devices. The development of new design solutions of lighting devices will increase the livestock productivity and reduce energy costs.
