Poultry farming - it is one of the most popular sectors of agriculture, which specializes in the production of poultry meat and eggs.Therefore, most beginning farmers are concerned about the choice of high-quality technological equipment for its implementation.This refers to the automatic incubators, reviews of which are very different.And all because today there are many models of such systems, which are both pluses and minuses.It is about their features, functionality, and the rules of operation and would like to tell.
Purpose The main objective of the device - the breeding poultry.It is an indispensable tool for people in rural areas, the owners cottages or farm.It can help you raise chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quails, and ostriches.There are many models of these devices, which can be divided into two main types: household and professional use.The only difference is in the scale of breeding birds.Most functionality - automatic incubators, reviews of which the most positive.
Household devices at lower professional and suitable for beginners poultry farmers.Their capacity - from 1 to 280 eggs.They are quite compact, convenient, practical and economical.Have mechanical and automatic control, with which you can control the temperature, humidity and turning eggs at a certain time.
Professional models are much more powerful, more capacious (up to 2 500 eggs) and functionality.They provide climate control, power backup (in case of power failure), automatically turning eggs and much more.In addition, farmers' incubators quite economical and autonomous.
Regardless of the model device incubator same: paneling, container for eggs, rotary mechanisms, devices of heating, cooling, humidification, ventilation and autonomous power.With their help the regulated microclimate inside the incubator for breeding healthy birds.
housing is equipped with a special camera, where you want to put the egg, then you need to close the door tightly.Depending on the capacity for eggs are hatching and excretory or joint.At first higher bumpers that protect the chicks from falling.Inside the device should be well ventilated.
rotating mechanism is very important in the process of incubation, the eggs with them rotated and rolled.Automatic models make timely turning containers with eggs and independently regulate the temperature in the incubator.
Features
automatic incubators have a very important function - it is turning eggs.It depends on the normal development of the embryo.There are 3 basic methods:
- rolling .This method involves horizontal eggs on lattices.During operation of the device grid moves back and forth, and egg roll on her movements.
- Roller rolling. Each cell in the tray is equipped with special rollers that are on its bottom.At certain times they move and turn the eggs.
- slopes. fruits are upright and tilted grill automatically in different directions by 45 °.Such a method is most often used at poultry farms.
Another distinctive feature of the incubator - a form of trays.In standard models, they look like a grid that host lattice with cells.Their capacity ranges from 60 to 110 eggs.The tray is securely fastened, so the risk of damage to the eggs excluded.
incubators that work on a method of tilt trays are equipped with protective bumpers.With their help, the egg at the time of turning is kept.In such models, the eggs are placed tightly, and if there are empty cells, they need to fill, for example foam.
