摘要： A fowl attraction device for causing fowl to be distributed within an enclosure includes a support stand for placement in or on the ground or flooring surface within the enclosure and a mesh screen attached to the support stand to be generally vertically oriented. Fowl will be attracted to the attraction device, so one or more attraction devices are placed within the enclosure to for example move fowl inwardly of outer walls of the enclosure.

摘要： A method is provided for raising poultry, such as chickens, for food production. In a first preferred embodiment, the method includes the steps of: providing a facility for housing the poultry, providing at least one light-absorbing ventilation fan associated with the facility for ventilating the facility, exposing an interior of the facility to natural light cycles of an outside environment for a first period and regulating light cycles of the interior for a second period, thereby mimicking daylight duration variation representative of seasonal changes for stimulating sexual development of the poultry. In a second preferred embodiment, the method includes the steps of: providing a facility for housing the poultry, providing at least one light-absorbing ventilation fan associated with the facility for ventilating the facility, limiting exposure of an interior of the facility to light to produce a brown-out effect therein for enhancing physical development of the poultry.
