    AUTOMATIC CHICKEN EGG INCUBATOR

    Standard operating procedure (SOP)


    1. Remove the incubator /Hatcher/brooder safely from the packed box. 2. Place it a clean and flat surface .Find the three pin plug wire 6A/15A in the Incubator /Hatcher/Brooder. 3. Before plug it to power please check your power supply is have proper earthing. 4. Plug the Incubator /Hatcher/Brooder and check the temperature on light is blowing. 5. In this condition leave it for 6 -12 hrs . do not load the egg or chick during this time. 6. Check the temperature set point 99.1F for incubator and 98.5F for hatcher . RH (Relative Humidity) Is 50-55% for incubator,55-60%for hatcher. 7. Turning min one hour once is optimal. 8. Fill the water in water tray. 9. setting menu

    Formaldehyde Fumigation of Incubators


    CH2O, Formalin (Disinfectant) Description For fumigation of eggs prior to storage, use1.35ml of 40% formalin solution and 0.84g potassium permanganate per cubic foot of air space . approximately 1g potassium permanganate KMnO4 to 2ml formalin. Empty incubators and hatchers may be fumigated using double this concentration. Double concentration formalin plus suggested for incubators in which an egg has exploded, or in which disease has been causing problems Close incubator vents Potassium permanganate powder is placed in an earthenware, porcelain or heat-tempered glass container inside the space to be fumigated. Add formalin solution. Shut door immediately. Leave for thirty minutes. Remove container, leaving doors open for a few minutes to air out. May be used for eggs before incubation has started, and at lower concentration (0.5ml 40% formalin and 0.2g potassium permanganate) in mid incubation e.g. one and two weeks after the start of incubation May be used to fumigate empty incubators and hatchers at twice the concentration used for eggs Caution and good ventilation required. Notes

    Most effective in a moist atmosphere. If fumigation is required while early-incubation (first five days) eggs are present, or eggs of unknown stage of incubation, remove these to another incubator until fumigation is completed. Disinfection may be used for both incubators and eggs as a safer alternative.

    Complications / Limitations / Risk


    Formalaldehyde gas is toxic and great care must be taken in its use. It is carcinogenic and it is irritant to conjunctiva and mucous membranes. Violent exothermic (heat-producing reaction. An ordinary glass container is liable to break due to the heat and a plastic container would melt. A metal container may interact with the chemicals. Highly toxic to newly-set eggs (first five days) and in eggs which are hatching Fumigation should be used in addition to cleaning, not regarded as a substitute. Goggles and a respirator mask should be worn to minimize risk to the operator. Not suitable for use on eggs at an unknown stage of incubation. Equipment / Chemicals required and Suppliers Potassium permanganate 40% formalin (Formalin (Disinfectant)) solution Earthenware, porcelain or heat-tempered glass container Accident-proof containers to keep the chemicals in. Expertise level / Ease of Use This technique requires care and precision of calculations to produce the correct concentration of formaldehyde for disinfection and to minimize the potential for toxic effects on the eggs or the operator. Cost / Availability Inexpensive. Legal and Ethical Considerations Potassium permanganate is poisonous. Formalin is irritant, caustic and toxic (N.B. carcinogenic). Care must be taken in both the storage of the chemicals and the use of formaldehyde for disinfection. Health and safety regulations should be consulted prior to the use of formaldehyde fumigation and may prohibit its use in the workplace.

    Care of Eggs for Hatching


    DO NOT wash eggs unless necessary. Store the clean, Fertile eggs in an area that is kept at 55o to 60o F and at 70 to 75% humidity, Never at temperatures above 75o F or at lower than 40% humidity. Store the eggs small end down and slanted at 30 to 45 degrees, and turn them daily. Do not store eggs for more than 10 to 14 days, since hatchability begins to decline significantly after 14 days. Just before setting eggs under a hen or in the incubator, let the eggs warm to room Temperature (70o to 80o F) and remove any cracked eggs.

    Setter Hall
    In the setter hall check for cleanliness in the following areas: doors, lighting, floors, ceilings, vents, ducts, air filters, and walls. Select two areas in the hall and monitor microbial contamination using air plates or a mechanical air sampler( FOR BIG HATCHERIES). Check the setters visually for cleanliness in the following areas: floors, walls, ceilings, fans, fan boards, racks thermometers, doors, nozzles, exhaust ports, vents, ducts, tops, and control panels. The machines should be evaluated for microbial contamination in a minimum of five setters in each hall. Enter each one while leaving the machine running and use an air plate or mechanical sampler to monitor microbial contamination of the air in the center of each machine. Make sure all fans and alarms are on when you enter so that the incubator's environment is not disturbed. Check that the turners, humidifier nozzles, and the aerosol sanitizer nozzle are working properly.

    Hatcher Halls
    In the hatcher halls check for cleanliness in the following areas: doors, lighting, floors, ceilings, vents, ducts, air filters, and walls. Select two areas in the hall and evaluate for microbial contamination with air plates or a mechanical air sampler. The air samples should be taken before transfer is made, selecting a minimum of five hatchers per hall. As a follow-up, check on hatcher sanitation. Test five areas inside a hatcher using swabs. Any of the following areas may be tested: walls, ceilings, doors, fan boards, fan guards, fan blades, nozzles, air intake ducts. To conclude the hatcher inspection, five hatching trays should be examined for cleanliness and dryness. Trays should also be checked for microbial contamination using swabs.

    At the Farm
    It is advisable that all farm egg rooms have a set of guidelines for cleanliness and standard operation. The egg room environment and breeder house nesting conditions should be inspected on a regular basis and a written record maintained.

    Egg and Embryo Development


    The Formation of an Egg:
    The Incubation Period: The embryo develops inside the egg for 21 days (the incubation period), until a chick pecks its way out of its eggshell and is hatched.

    Cross Section of a Newly Laid Egg

    Definitions: air cell - an empty space located at the large end of the egg; it is between the inner and outer shell membranes. chalaza - a spiral, rope-like strand that anchors the yolk in the thick egg white. There are two chalazae anchoring each yolk, one on the top and one on the bottom. (The plural of chalaza is chalazae.) germinal disc or blastodisc - a small, circular, white spot (2-3 mm across) on the surface of the yolk; it is where the sperm enters the egg. The nucleus of the egg is in the blastodisc. inner shell membrane - the thin membrane located between the outer shell membrane and the albumin. outer shell membrane - the thin membrane located just inside the shell. shell - the hard, protective coating of the egg. It is semi-permeable; it lets gas exchange occur, but keeps other substances from entering the egg. The shell is made of calcium carbonate. thick albumin - the stringy part of the egg white (albumin) located nearest the yolk. thin albumin - the watery part of the egg white (albumin) located farthest from the yolk. vitelline (yolk) membrane - the membrane that surrounds the yolk. yolk - the yellow, inner part of the egg where the embryo will form. The yolk contains the food that will nourish the embryo as it grows.
