~~豬隻建議之光照強度與時間~~
不同階段的豬隻需要不同強度與時間的光照。如表三,為畜舍建議之光照強度與時間。對於照顧與處理家畜-豬隻的建議實施標準,每日最少要8小時光照,才足夠用來觀察豬隻。豬隻需要5 fc (50流明)的照明強度,這至少是一般老式豬舍的兩倍以上。光照設計的重點為是將光照效能最大化與涵蓋最少的欄位區域。
實驗結果顯示在12:12 光照與黑暗下,不同強度的照明(40, 200 or 10,000 lx)並不會對褪黑激素的分泌產生顯著的影響。
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the photophase light intensity on the scotophase melatonin
response. Twelve, 8-month-old crossbred gilts were allocated to three groups of four and housed
in temperature- and lighting-controlled climate rooms. The rooms had a light intensity of 40, 200
or 10,000 lx and a light–dark cycle of 12 L:12 D. The gilts were allowed to acclimatize to a new
lighting regimen for 1 week before being sampled at 2 h intervals for 24 h. Following the sampling,
pigs were transferred under a different light intensity, allowed to adjust for 1 week and sampled
again. The procedure was repeated three times so that all the groups went through all three lighting regimens (light intensities). All the gilts exhibited a clear circadian serum melatonin rhythm under each lighting regimen with high melatonin concentrations occurring during the scotophase. There was no difference in the scotophase melatonin response in terms ofmean concentrations or duration
of increased melatonin levels within or between the groups under different lighting regimens. There
was considerable inter-individual variation in the dark phase melatonin response but the individual
profiles were consistent under the different lighting regimens. It is concluded that when a certain threshold light intensity (<40 lx) is exceeded, the photophase light intensity has no effect on the
scotophase melatonin response. These results imply that extremely high light intensities during the
photophase would provide no additional benefits compared with normal comfortable light intensity,
if artificial lighting programs were introduced to commercial piggeries in order to reduce seasonal
effects on reproduction.

Abstract 摘要
This study investigated the effects of the photophase light intensity on the scotophase melatonin
response. Twelve, 8-month-old crossbred gilts were allocated to three groups of four and housed
in temperature- and lighting-controlled climate rooms. The rooms had a light intensity of 40, 200
or 10,000 lx and a light–dark cycle of 12 L:12 D.
這個研究為要調查光照階段中光線強度對夜間產生褪黑激素的影響。12頭八個月大的雜交女豬
每四隻分配成三組,安置於溫度與光照均被控制的氣候室中,室內的光照強度為40, 200, 或
10,000流明,而起光暗周期為12小時光:12小時暗。
The gilts were allowed to acclimatize to a newlighting regimen for 1 week before being sampled
at 2 h intervals for 24 h. Following the sampling, pigs were transferred under a different light
intensity, allowed to adjust for 1 week and sampled again. The procedure was repeated three
times so that all the groups went through all three lighting regimens (light intensities).
這些女豬先經過一週新的光照方式之適應調整,再經過24小時中每兩小時一次的採樣,接下來
豬隻則轉移到另一種光照強度的畜舍,一樣需要經過一週的適應調整,並且相同的採樣方式。
此一程序會重複三次,讓所有的組別都接受這三種不同的光照方式。
All the gilts exhibited a clear circadian serum melatonin rhythm under each lighting regimen with
high melatonin concentrations occurring during the scotophase. There was no difference in the
scotophase melatonin response in terms ofmean concentrations or duration of increased
melatonin levels within or between the groups under different lighting regimens.
不同組別的女豬在任一種光照模式下,都會出現明顯的血清褪黑激素的生理時鐘變化模式----
高濃度的褪黑激素是出現在夜間階段,但是在不同的光照模式組別之間或該組內夜間產生之平
均褪黑激素濃度卻沒有差異。
