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.
