Proteomic insights into broiler stress responses to LED lighting: Effects on liver proteome under neutral, cool, and warm spectra.

ABSTRACT: Light plays a critical role in poultry production, influencing broiler behavior, immune function, and growth. Effective lighting management optimizes broiler health and performance, with LED lighting emerging as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional fluorescent lights. However, the molecular impacts of different LED light spectra remain underexplored. This pilot study involved sixteen male broilers (four per treatment group), raised under four different lighting conditions. This study used label-free quantitative proteomics to analyze liver protein expression in broilers (3.30 ± 0.20 kg live weight) raised under Neutral (K = 3300 - 3700), Cool (K = 5500 - 6000), and Warm (K = 3000 - 2500) LED lighting compared to Control neon lights (n = 4 per group). On average, 1,181 proteins we
