In sustainable commercial poultry business, hatchability and chick quality are key points that determine the yield and cost of production. Positive results of lighted incubation are highly determined by bioquality of light and egg associated properties. Although light stimulation during incubation increases chick weight, and hatchability, the findings are inadequate for the general application of this method. Therefore, it is necessary for continuous studies on the mechanisms underlying utilization of various light spectrums, the
