ABSTRACT Two trials were conducted in an attempt to determine if light intensity affected fat content of broilers as measured by the amount of abdominal fat. The light regimens used from 10 days of age had constant intensities of 2 or 52 lx. Results obtained showed that light intensity did not significantly influence the amount of abdominal fat produced by males or females at either 49 or 63 days of age. Light intensity had no significant effect on body weight, feed conversion (grams feed per gram body weight), or mortality at either 48 or 62 days of age for broilers of the same sex. The amount of light used was the amount produced from either 7.5 or 75-W incandescent bulbs in an enclosed house that was 11m wide with two strings of light bulbs 2.1 m high on 3-m centers equidistant from the ends and sidewalls of the house
