Abstract
A method of increasing feed consumption in avian and aquatic life utilizing an artificial light source. For both avian and the aquatic life an enclosure is provided that houses the animal. An artificial lighting source is utilized to cause feed to emit light having a spectrum under 400 nm such that the animals locate and are attracted to the feed for consumption.

A method of increasing feed consumption of avian, comprising:
- providing an aviary system located within an enclosure, wherein the aviary system includes an internal volume for housing avian;
- illuminating feed for the avian with a light from an artificial light source having a spectrum that is less than 400 nanometers (nm) to cause the avian to eat the feed.
A method of increasing feed consumption of avian, comprising:
- providing an aviary system located within an enclosure wherein the aviary system includes an internal volume for housing avian;
- illuminating feed for the avian with a light from an artificial light source;
- and
- forming a food element having a fluorescent additive that receives light from the light source and emits light having a spectrum under 400 nm.
