1999 journal article
Ahemeral lighting of turkey breeder hens. 3. Temporary application and early age at lighting
POULTRY SCIENCE, 78(3), 387–391.
author keywords: ahemeral lighting; turkey; photostimulation; age at lighting; light cycle
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animal Husbandry; Animals; Eggs; Female; Housing, Animal; Lighting / adverse effects; Photoperiod; Reproduction; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR:
It is concluded that temporary use ofAH at the start of photostimulation is better than continuous use of AH throughout lay and resulted in improved reproductive performance of hens photostIMulated at an early age.

1997 journal article
Ahemeral lighting of turkey breeder hens .1. Cycle length effects on egg production and egg characteristics
POULTRY SCIENCE, 76(5), 761–766.
author keywords: turkey; light; ahemeral; photoperiod; cycle length
MeSH headings : Animals; Egg Shell / physiology; Egg Yolk / physiology; Eggs / standards; Female; Lighting; Linear Models; Ovalbumin / standards; Oviposition / physiology; Photoperiod; Time Factors; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR:
It may be concluded that an effective practical range of light-dark cycles for turkeys is 23 to 28 h and that 28 h is a reasonable limit to maximize EW and shell thickness while minimizing a reduction in egg production.

1997 journal article
Ahemeral lighting of turkey breeder hens. 2. Early age at lighting and reproductive performance
POULTRY SCIENCE, 76(12), 1783–1788.
author keywords: turkey; ahemeral light; egg weight; photoperiod; poult weight
MeSH headings : Aging / physiology; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Body Weight / physiology; Circadian Rhythm / physiology; Eggs; Female; Lighting; Oviposition / physiology; Photoperiod; Reproduction / physiology; Time Factors; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR:
It was concluded that although ahemeral lighting increased egg weight and poult weight in turkey hens photostimulated early, continuous application of ahemerAL lighting throughout the lay period had adverse effects on some components of reproductive performance.
