SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ENHANCING SWINE REPRODUCTION |
摘要 |
A method of increasing the probability of breeding swine via a lighting system with a programmable timing device. The lighting system is programmed to present differing photoperiods such that the amount of light observed by a swine every day or week gradually decreases, mimicking a seasonal change, typically from summer to fall. As a result, swine psychologically and physiologically believe that seasons are changing resulting in increased probability of breeding for the swine. |

1. A method of increasing the probability of breeding swine, steps comprising:
providing a lighting system having a programmable timing device; providing with the lighting system predetermined periods of light and dark for the swine every twenty four hours for a first pre-determined amount of time; after the first pre-determined amount of time providing predetermined periods of light and dark for the swine every twenty four hours during a second pre-determined amount of time; wherein the predetermined periods of light and dark for the swine during the second pre-determined amount of time comprises a greater amount of dark for the swine and less light than the first pre-determined amount of time; after the second pre-determined amount of time providing predetermined periods of light and dark for the swine every twenty four hours during a third pre-determined amount of time; wherein the predetermined periods of light and dark for the swine during the third pre-determined amount of time comprises a greater amount of dark for the swine and less light than the second pre-determined amount of time to increase the probability of breeding swine. |
