Greater yield via animal-friendly lighting

Light is an essential life factor. Lighting conditions control the biorhythm of humans and animals. This has an immense effect on the well-being of living beings. Unlike commercially available luminaire solutions, pacelum offers lighting installations optimised for the animal.

Photopic sensitivity of pigs

Pigs have a different spectral sensitivity for visual perception compared to humans. pacelum lighting solutions address these differences and provide a solution ideally adapted to the animal.

Optimum light conditions in the stall influence the well-being of pigs.

In addition to visual perception, lighting has a biological effect on the animals. It affects the "inner clock", metabolism, fertility as well as growth and the stress level.

Animal-friendly lighting has a significant influence on the development of the animals. Depending on the life cycle, artificial lighting can have a positive impact on the animals and thus promote their welfare and growth. The "inner clock" of the animals can be supported by specific spectral components in the light. In combination with a light management system, the effect of light can support the daily night-day rhythm and reduce stress levels.

Pigs have a very low eye sensitivity for red spectral components. For this reason red light is particularly suitable as night lighting and the stall can be entered and inspected without disturbing the animals.

For you as a farmer, this means high yield rates due to growth promotion via optimised feed conversion and reduced medication. Robust and highly efficient LED luminaires also save energy costs and maintenance costs.

Technology and professional planning

Your path to success.

In pig farming, we aim to respond to the needs of the animals with our lighting solutions. This requires a combination of the right luminaires, the right lighting design and suitable light management. Each of these aspects provides the potential for improving animal welfare and yield.

The lighting solution has a major influence on the behaviour of the animals. Therefore, the following aspects must be taken into account during planning:
