Abstract:weeks (P<0.05). Abdominal fat weight and fat strip width in fluorescent lamp group were significantly lower than those in B and C groups (P<0.05). C light source significantly increased thigh muscle percentage compared to A and B groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the antioxidant carcass SOD under A light source and T-AOC under fluorescent lamp were greater than those for the other light groups (P<0.05). A significantly increase of H:L was observed in birds reared under C light source group compared to A and fluorescent lamp groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, it was concluded that A light source and fluorescent lamp were not only good for the growth performance, but also increased the antioxidant function and remit stress of AA broilers. A light source not only saved energy, but also improved the production efficiency.
