Abstract: A rearing system for keeping farm animals, in particular poultry animals. The rearing system having at least one light source for illuminating the animal bodies of the farm animals with light, wherein the at least one light source is designed as a UV-B light source which is configured to emit UV-B light onto the animal bodies.

Abstract: An illumination device for illuminating an animal housing device, having a plurality of light sources, with a first light source and a second light source, wherein the first light source and the second light source are designed to emit light with wavelengths or colors differing from one another such as red and white, and a luminaire that includes a logic module. The logic module is designed to read out a frequency of a signal of an electrical energy, to compare the frequency of the signal with data stored in the logic module, and in dependence upon the comparison between the frequency of the signal and the data stored in the logic module to determine one or more channels encoded in the frequency. Furthermore, the invention relates to a control device, a method for controlling a lighting device, and a use of a illumination device.
