Is Your Barn Too Dark? 🌑 Many farmers ask the same question, and our honest answer is often 'yes.' Studies conducted over the last few decades in various climates have shown that increasing daylight in dairy barns to 16-18 hours or more per day can significantly improve important dairy farm metrics. 📈 Proper lighting is essential for barn safety and cow health. It helps staff avoid accidents and allows for better monitoring of cows in heat, those not eating well, or with health issues. 👩🌾🐄 Consider using Usonic's low-intensity lighting solution, which provides 16 hours of white light and 8 hours of red light. This setup is both employee-friendly and doesn't disrupt the cow's photoperiod. It's a cost-effective option for implementing long-day lighting. 💡💰 For more information, please don't hesitate to contact us. 📞 #DairyBarnLighting #CowBarnLights #LEDFixtures #HighBayFixtures #agriculture #animalwelfare #milkproduction #energy #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyManagement #EnergySaving #LightingTechnology #lightingSolution

Improve Milk Quality: What Smart Dairy Farmers Do 🥛 For dairy producers, achieving excellent milk quality is the end goal. Regardless of production targets, flavor, shelf life, and cheese yield remain key considerations. Maintaining strict standards and consumer trust by preventing contaminants is crucial. 🐄 Milk quality depends on diverse factors, spanning animal genetics, hygiene, handling, and environmental conditions—lighting included. Optimized light patterns trigger positive hormonal responses in cows, enhancing their health and production. 💡 Research advocates a 16-hour cycle of white light followed by 8 hours of red light. This regimen significantly improves milk yield by up to 2kg/day compared to natural lighting. Nighttime red light sustains essential melatonin levels, vital for cow sleep patterns, reproduction, and overall well-being, directly impacting milk quality. 🔆 Usonic's 16 Hours White Light + 8 Hours Red Light Simulator Fixtures support dairy farmers in creating a conducive and healthy lighting environment to enhance milk quality.

“Long Day Photoperiod, LDPP (16 hours light, 8 hours dark) has a positive effect, improving milk yield by up to 2kg/day compared to a natural day length. LDPP improves natural hormonal response, calf growth and feed efficiency; reduces time to puberty; gives stronger, healthier production cows, when compared to 24-hour artificial lighting regime. It gives a lower Somatic Cell Count (SCC) in milk when compared to a 24-hour regime. Short Day Photoperiod, SDPP (8 hours light, 16 hours dark) gives increased levels of melatonin, lower levels of prolactin,and lower milk yield in production cows. Dry cows exposed to SDPP give up to 3kg/day increased production in the following lactation. 24-hour Photoperiod suppresses the natural day/night circadian rhythm of the herd. It gives a higher SCC in milk, and no increase in milk production when compared to LDPP regime. Dairies should expose production cows to a long-day photoperiod, and house dry cows in a separate area that can provide short-day photoperiod. 24-hour lighting should be avoided. “ #dairylight #cows #agriculture
