LIGHTING APPARATUS AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF MEAT CHICKEN

To provide a lighting apparatus that can improve meat quality of meat chicken without increasing suffocation or wound.SOLUTION: A lighting apparatus 1 includes: first lighting means 11 capable of emitting red light and blue light for lighting a first region R1 in a breeding region R of meat chicken 3; second lighting means 12 capable of emitting the red light and the blue light for lighting a second region R2 that is different from the first region R1 in the breeding region R; third lighting means 13 of white light for lighting a third region R3 between the first and second regions R1, R2 in the breeding region R; and a control unit 14 for controlling the first and second lighting means 11, 12 so as to repeat a first period where the first lighting means 11 emits the red light and the second lighting means 12 emits the blue light, and a second period where the first lighting means 11 emits the blue light and the second lighting means 12 emits the red light.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】圧死や創傷を増加させることなく、肉用鶏の肉質を向上させることができる照明装置を提供する。【解決手段】照明装置１は、肉用鶏３の飼育領域Ｒにおける第１の領域Ｒ１を照明するための赤色光及び青色光を出射可能な第１の照明手段１１と、飼育領域Ｒにおける第１の領域Ｒ１とは異なる第２の領域Ｒ２を照明するための赤色光及び青色光を出射可能な第２の照明手段１２と、飼育領域Ｒにおける第１及び第２の領域Ｒ１、Ｒ２の間の第３の領域Ｒ３を照明するための白色光の第３の照明手段１３と、第１の照明手段１１が赤色光を出射して第２の照明手段１２が青色光を出射する第１の期間と、第１の照明手段１１が青色光を出射して第２の照明手段１２が赤色光を出射する第２の期間とが繰り返されるように第１及び第２の照明手段１１、１２を制御する制御部１４と、を備える。【選択図】図１
