a) Infertile egg
b) Egg with normally developing embryo
c) Egg with dead embryo at 5th - 6th day of incubation
Periodic candling during embryonic development is
necessary to ensure the best hatching results. Using a
good candling lamp, it is possible to check the growth
of the air-space. The pictures shown herewith show
the air-space growth as related to hen, turkey, and
pheasant eggs. If the air space measurements appear
similar to those shown in the picture, it means that the
embryo is developing correctly, and that the amount
of humidity supplied in the machine is right. If the air
space is not developing correctly, it means that it is
necessary to change the level of humidity supplied to
the machine.

DESCRIPTION
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
• In case of power failure for some hours during the incubation time, place one hot water bottle or similar container into the
machine and keep the door closed
• For waterfowl eggs, after 15 days of incubation, it is suggested that the eggs should be taken out of the incubator and
sprayed with tepid water (using a suitable hygienic sprayer) and leave them to cool for about 15 minutes outside the
machine. This operation should be repeated every two days, till the penultimate day of incubation.
• It's recommended that the incubator room should be clean and hygienic, in order to obviate any bacteriological infection.
• It should be remembered that during incubation and hatching there is a constant risk of bacterial contamination and the
following precautions are therefore recommended:
- Use of personal protective clothing (i.e.: disposable plastic gloves, protective respiratory mask);
- Regular cleaning and disinfection of incubation rooms;
- Careful cleaning of hands before and after the contact with organic parts using antibacterial gel soap.
- Avoid eating or serving food and drink in the incubation room or during the operation of the machine.
(These suggestions are extremely important in order to afford maximum protection to both eggs and operator)
It must be noted that when the air-space is smaller than shown in the table, it is necessary to decrease the humidity value; when the
1
air-space is larger than shown in the table, the humidity must be increased.
The lack of power for an extended time causes more serious damage to eggs which are only a few days into incubation than to those which
2
are more advanced, when the embryo is stronger and more resilient.
