How to Maintain Excellent Oxygen Level Inside the Incubator

    Proper air ventilation is vital to obtain fresh air. This happens when carbon dioxide inside escapes and the right amount of oxygen comes in to the circulation. This results to the dilution of carbon dioxide and therefore increasing oxygen levels inside the incubator. This is actually a basic concept for every incubator. Nevertheless, what most air ventilation for incubators lack is a scientific design.

Surprisingly, even those that are factory made miss this very simple scientific principle in making air vents for their incubator products. They usually just try to make use of natural ventilation where in they make a small window and expect air exchange to occur. However, if you would logically think about it, you will end up questioning how the oxygen can come in and the carbon dioxide go out at the same time through just one small window considering the pressures from one side to another. If you are considering this incubator with a poorly designed air vent, think about it again because your developing chicks might just end up suffocated and dead or might hatch but as weaklings with abnormalities because of too much carbon dioxide and less oxygen. Natural ventilation for a delicate process like this actually requires two windows. With this, cooler air comes in with oxygen at the lower window and warm air comes out with carbon dioxide through the upper window. This natural way though will still turn out to be of much lesser efficiency when compared to mechanical ventilation. It follows similar concept with the natural air vent using two windows but air exchange wouldn’t just rely to the temperature but to the blowers efficiently forcing the air in and out! With this, the blowers significantly force fresh air with oxygen into one window and force carbon dioxide out through another window while maintaining the temperature of your incubator. With mechanical or forced air ventilation, you will certainly be assured that the chicks are getting all the oxygen they need and just the right amount of carbon dioxide!

 During the summer season, you also might just get frustrated thinking why the temperature suddenly goes up and wouldn’t go down even with the heaters already turned off. It’s actually the time when you have to be using the adjustable forced air vent. When the temperature outside rises and the developing chicks start to give off significant amount of its own heat, you will definitely find your incubator overheating unless you are able to force excess heat out of the incubator. Doing this won’t actually be possible without an adjustable air vent. With this, all you need to do is fully open it and let it blow out the excess heat from inside and rest assured that the temperature will decrease back to normal.

Finding an incubator with this design though isn’t easy. Even factory made incubators can be very inefficient in terms of maintaining the oxygen level the reason why hatch rates and the quality of chicks remain poor despite the proper egg turning, accurate temperature and humidity. However, don’t be too frustrated yet. JMSJr Incubators can give you just the perfect incubator with its very own design of adjustable forced air ventilation. Check out our product and see how it differs from the rest of the incubators you came across with.

Setting the Incubator Temperature Accurately

One of the most crucial factors of an incubator is the temperature. Low hatch rates are usually due to inappropriate management of the temperature, thus making it very essential to note that the temperature control shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Establishing the desired temperature also depends on the kind of incubator you use. If you are making a small incubator without fans for air circulation, it is referred to as a still-air incubator. Another type is the forced-air where fans are installed and are usually applied in incubators that are larger in sizes.

In measuring the temperature of a small still-air incubator, the temperature sensor must be placed at the level of the topmost part of the egg. Since it does not have uniform temperature throughout the area, it should be set to 38.9 °C or 102 °F in order to allow enough distribution of heat all throughout even without the fans. On the other side, forced-air incubators have uniform temperature almost everywhere in the area as the heat is properly distributed through the air circulation. Therefore you can place the sensor preferably near the supply of the circulating air (where the air comes from) and set it to 37.5 – 37.8 °C (99.5-100 °F).

Maintaining temperature however, is a laborious task and most of the time, a failure if you are without proper equipments. Slight changes in the temperature can already cause significant deviations to the embryo’s development. Temperatures outside the recommended range can speed up or slow down the development thus resulting to death of the embryo or causing abnormalities to the chick when hatched.

An important equipment to consider is the thermometer you use. Even if you got a brand new thermometer, whether digital or not, you still have to check for its accuracy. You can do this by merging it in a container filled with ice made of distilled water and with a small amount of distilled water to make sure that the melting and freezing point is 0°C. If reading is not exactly zero as the water freezing and melting point should be, use it as your baseline reading accordingly. If the reading is -0.1 °C, that means you should add 0.1 °C whenever you get your readings.

Aside from the thermometer, you also have to see to it that you choose the proper thermostat. Thermostats come with various kinds and features therefore you should have enough knowledge about this in order to choose the best for your incubator. The type that was commonly used before is the mechanical thermostat. It involves the movement of a certain metal as the temperature changes. These movements will then determine whether the heater should turn on or off thereby controlling the temperature according to your preferences. Using this type of thermostat though brought up certain concerns in incubator usage since the movement of the metals takes place only after the temperature changes drastically. This causes the interval between the points at which the circuit switches on and off, or the hysteresis, to increase to 1 °C (1.8 °F) or more. This is already very significant since the range of the recommended temperature should only be between 99.5-100 °F. This makes calibration difficult and at times, become really disappointing. Nowadays though, most of the incubator manufacturers are already using the electronic thermostats. It involves a micro switch that will turn the power on or off. The electronic type is now more preferred since its hysteresis can be adjusted even down to 0.1 °C. This means that the temperature inside can be very stable and can be easily adjusted almost exactly as you prefer.

The kind of electronic thermostat you choose though must also be specifically and properly designed for poultry incubators. It must come along with features that are important in managing the whole process of incubation, such as the minus 1°C switch, heating supply indicator and the like. Because of this, finding the appropriate thermostat for sale becomes difficult. Of course, it is aside from the fact that this is not commonly sold apart from the expensive commercial incubators. So if you are planning to make your own incubator, and have been looking for an affordable electronic thermostat specifically designed for that, then you got to check out our product and see how advantageous it can be to you whether you are making the incubator for personal use or for selling purposes.

How to Calibrate Your Electronic Thermostat

1. Put the temperature switch to normal position.

2. Place the sensor on top level of the egg for still-air incubator and at center level of the egg for force air incubator. However, due to the air circulation in a forced-air incubator, the temperature on top and center levels of the egg is almost the same. Therefore the placement of the sensor is not very significant. For large forced-air incubator, place the sensor near where the air comes from or the supply of air. Refer to the image below.

3. During calibration, the thermostat sensor and the thermometer sensor must be at the same position. Put it very close together for optimum calibration result. Calibration must be done for at least 12-24 hours to ensure that everything is established. Adjust the potentiometer very slowly and accordingly to increase or decrease the temperature.

4. For still-air incubator, temperature should be set to 38.9 ºC with the sensor on top level of the egg. For forced-air incubator, set to 37.5 ºC. (The temperature is the same almost anywhere in the incubator.)

5. From day 1 to day 18, the temperature switch should be on normal position. And from day 18 to day 21, the switch should be on minus 1 ºC position to decrease the temperature for 1 ºC.

6. After calibration is done, ensure that the potentiometer will not move. Put Stikwel glue to lock the potentiometer. Refer to the image below.

7. The eggs must be turned at least 3 times a day from day 1 to day 18 and stop turning from day 18 to 21. The chick will come out on their own.

8. During calibration, use digital thermometer for best result. Mercury thermometer though can also be used if digital is not available. However, before using a mercury thermometer, the thermometer’s error must be checked first. Place some crushed ice in a container and fill with small amount of fresh water. Merge the bulb of the mercury thermometer and the reading should be at 0 ºC. This will make sure that your thermometer is accurate or can give you a baseline reading if there is error.
