This study was conducted to investigate the potential effect of white, red andgreen color light and two light intensity 5 and 10 lux to each color treatment light onJapanese quail bird’s production performance and some physiological traits. Onehundred and eighty, one day old Japanese quail birds were randomly assigned intothree color light with 5 and 10 lux light intensity per treatment each treatment contain3 replicate (10 birds /cage). Result showed that the birds reared under the influence ofgreen color were significantly (p<0.05) improve body weight, weight gain, feedconversion ratio, relative weight of testes, ovaries, oviduct, male L.H, F.S.H andtestosterone hormones also female L.H, F.S.H and estrogen. Sexual maturity formales and females significantly (p<0.05) increased by white colortreatment.Treatments of birds raised under the influence of 10 lux light intensitysignificantly (p<0.05) increased body weight, weight gain and the average levels ofhormones L.H, F.S.H, testosterone for males and L.H, F.S.H, estrogen for females.Green color light with 5 and 10 lux intensity color significantly (p<0.05) increased therelative weight of ovary and oviduct.
