Incubator for 56 eggs Philippines

1.Incubation temperature control     

Different poultry requires different temperatures: incubation period of chicken is 21 days, it’s 38.2°C from 1^st~6^th day, 37.8°C from 7^th~14^th day, and 37.2~37.5°C from 16^th~21^st day; incubation period of duck is 28 days, it’s 38°C from 1^st~7^th day, 37.8°C from 8^th~15^th day, 37.5°C on 16^th day, and 37.2°C from 17^th~28^th day; incubation period of goose is 31 days, it’s 37.8°C from 1^st~8^th day, 37.8°C from 9^th~18^th day, 37.8°C on 19^th day, and 37.0°C~37.3°C from 20^th~31^st day.

2. Humidity control:

It requires different relative humidity in different period of incubation. The relative humidity shall keep within 55%~60% at the earlier stage of incubation to ensure even heating for embryo, which is good for formation of allantoic fluid and amniotic fluid, the relative humidity shall keep within 30%~55% at the middle stage of incubation, which is good for evaporation of water, the relative humidity the last stage of incubation shall be increased to 65%~70%, as high relative humidity is good for poult to break the shell, when above 20% of poult comes out, the relative humidity shall keep at 75%.

III.

1. Cleaning and sterilization before incubation: wash and clean the incubator, then suffumigate it with potassium permanganate and formalin.

2. Incubation equipment inspection before incubation: check all of the parts completely and observe whether the fan rotation device works normally and whether all of the components are in good condition, then adjust the temperature and feed water to the tank. Make a 12-24 hours’ trial again when the incubator reaches temperature and humidity requirement, if the incubator works normally, it can be put into running.

3.Choose and store fresh egg within 5 days (7 days at most) as feeding egg, as for the egg stored for more than 5 days, 4% less the incubation rate and 30 minutes prolonged incubation period for one more day storage. The proper temperature for feeding egg storage is 12°C~16°C.The smaller side shall be put upside during feeding egg storage.

4. Notes for off-tray period: The process to remove from egg tray bracket to brood tray is called off-tray, the chick embryo usually removes off the tray at an age of 18-19 days. It shall be placed gently during off-tray, it’s best to lay to single layer. It also removes to brood tray 3 days earlier than incubation period for other poultry.
