Hatchery

Preparing a hatchery unit for egg placement involves several steps. Conducting daily oversight of the incubation process, careful handling of fertilised eggs, to prevent damage and maintain their viability. Lastly, once the eggs hatch, it is important to vaccinate and grade the day-old chicks to promote their health and ensure proper development.

Challenges & Solutions

In the Hatchery course, participants will discover how to manage egg incubation and chick rearing effectively, overcoming common bottlenecks to achieve high hatchability and healthy chicks.

Challenges

Egg incubation and chick rearing often present critical challenges:

Maintaining precise temperature & humidity levels
Effective egg sanitation & contamination control
Monitoring and candling for embryo development

Solutions

This course equips you with practical methods to address these challenges:

Using automated incubators with environmental control systems
Applying rigorous sanitation protocols and handling techniques
Implementing regular monitoring, candling, and data recording

Learning Outcomes

Upon completing the Hatchery course, you will:

Maintain precise incubation conditions including temperature and humidity control.
