5 characteristics of the location of the incubator
What features should the location of the incubator have?
Successful hatching of fertilized eggs requires the provision of effective factors in hatching in a suitable and acceptable manner. These factors include the four items of fertilized eggs, hatchery, hatchery operator and conditions of the location of the hatchery.
Now we are going to point out the important and essential points about the location of the incubator.
Suitable space for the incubator
The place to use the incubator must have a space at least 5 times the size of the incubator itself. If the space is small than this amount, it can cause problems for ventilation and air circulation in the environment and lead to losses inside the hatchery.
Hatchery ventilation system
The embryo inside the fertilized egg is a living and breathing organism. Therefore, there should be proper ventilation in the place where the incubator is used so that oxygen enters the environment and carbon dioxide is removed from it. The entrance and exit of oxygen and carbon dioxide to the fertilized egg is done through the pores on the shell.
Heating and cooling system
The best conditions for the location of the incubator to place the incubator is a place that has conditions similar to the conditions necessary for human life. As you know, normally, the suitable temperature for placing the incubator is 25 degrees Celsius, but if we want to set a temperature range, the temperature between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius is suitable for placing the incubator.
Therefore, the storage environment of the device must have a suitable cooling and heating system to stabilize the temperature in this range. Do not expose the incubator to direct sunlight or heat or cold sources.

Incubator power supply system
You should place the incubator in a place that has a proper power supply system. The wiring and switches and sockets in the place of use of the incubator must be completely healthy because stopping the operation of the device for any reason (including the problem of the power supply system) may result in the loss of fertilized eggs.
There is a possibility of power outage during incubation. For this reason, always have an emergency power system or an electric motor or a car or motorcycle battery at your disposal so that you can use it as emergency power in case of a power outage. Of course, regarding the battery, your device must have the ability to use battery power as emergency power.
Incubator humidity supply system
The suitable humidity for the place of use of the incubator is between 30 and 50%. Therefore, as much as possible, you should use a suitable humidity supply system in the place of use of the incubator. If using a humidity supply system, it is better to keep the ambient humidity above 45%.
Place the device at a suitable distance from the wall.
To adjust the location of the incubator, place the incubator at least 50 cm away from the wall on each side.
