Natural incubation is the spontaneous holding and hatching behavior of female birds after laying eggs, and nature does a great job of maintaining the right conditions for hatching eggs. However, in the artificial environment of a commercial egg hatchery, it is the hatchery manager's job to make sure that all the conditions are as perfect as possible to ensure maximum production of quality chicks for each batch of eggs. Artificial incubation, which is carried out by manual control with the aid of certain equipment, is the main method of incubation in the modern poultry industry. Not only are temperature and airflow crucial, but humidity also plays a vital role in the process.
1. Pre-hatch storage: 70-80% RH for a maximum of 7 days to reduce the risk of dehydration; 2. Pre-hatch storage: 80-88% RH for more than 7 days to reduce the risk of dehydration; 3. Early hatch: 50-60% RH to prevent excessive water loss leading to protein dehydration and embryo damage; 4. Growth: 50-60% RH to allow the airspace to develop to the correct size and the chick's lungs to peck inside After normal development; 5, development: 50-60% RH to prevent wet navels and red fly joints; 6, hatching: 50-60% RH to prevent the shell from sticking to the feathers; 7, the first three days after hatching: 70% RH to prevent the chick from dehydrating in the first few days after hatching It can be seen that the artificial incubator humidification is not simply to increase the humidity of the environment, because the humidity requirements of different phases are not the same, and the precise control is also extraordinarily It is very important to control it accurately. General humidification methods such as spraying or sprinkling and other humidification measures, often in the floor, equipment, etc. caused by wet spots. PARKOOTECH industrial humidifiers use an integrated atomization module to atomize water, releasing a fine mist with a diameter of 1 to 5 μm, which evaporates quickly to raise the humidity to the desired level and relies on air movement to disperse the moisture, maintaining the area at 95% RH at all times. PARKOOTECH ultrasonic humidifiers provide very reliable and hygienic humidity control, better guaranteeing humidity requirements for the incubation process. Ultrasonic humidifiers are flexible, mobile and easy to position for all-around ease and precision humidification.
