Incubation Of Palmipeds-Eggs (Goose, Duck, Etc.); Information For A Correct Incubation - River Covina Super 24 Notice D'emploi Et D'entretien

Do not cover the incubator or keep it in a box whilst in use. This would
prevent the air exchange in the incubator, necessary for the embryo
development, that takes place through the ventilation holes present in the
base of the incubator and through the two inspection windows.
The incubation cycle starts now. Mark the date on a calendar and follow the instructions shown on table 4C

"Information For A Correct Incubation".

Only for art. 524: change the inclination of the eggs at least 4 times a day by tilting the handle placed in the front of
the incubator. The handle must rest alternately at the 10 o'clock position to the left or the 2 o'clock position to the
right. NEVER LEAVE THE HANDLE (AND THEREFORE THE EGGS) IN A VERTICAL POSITION (h. 12.00). Move the handle
gently in order to avoid shocks to the eggs.
When used with the egg turning motor (art. 556M-1), ensure that the cradles of the egg tray make a complete
inclination every two hours.

Monitor the water level in the basin by looking into the opening every 24 hours (the level you can see inside the
opening corresponds to the one in the basin). Fill up with clean and warm water (+35/40°C).
Please beware that it is the water surface and not its quantity that generates the humidity, therefore the quantity of
water in the basin will not affect the humidity rate. The punctual and constant check for the presence of water will
provide the necessary humidity, preventing the basin from running out of water.
In case of power failure, surround the four sides of the incubator with bottles containing hot water and cover
everything with a blanket. This allows the temperature within the incubator to be retained. Once the power is restored,
immediately remove all of these items. Do not keep the incubator covered for long periods: low oxygen levels inside
the incubator will drastically reduce the hatching rate.
It is possible that during the first incubation cycles the self lubricating turbine brasses may drip some oil onto the
central part of the protection grill. This oil is not harmful to the eggs or to the chicks. Remove it with a cloth moistened
with alcohol during the cleaning operations at the end of the cycle.
4B – INCUBATION OF PALMIPEDS-EGGS (GOOSE, DUCK, ETC.)
From day 10 of incubation to three days prior the foreseen hatching date, open the incubator and let the eggs cool for
15 minutes each day. Before putting the lid back on, spray a misting of water on the eggs. During this operation you
may unplug the machine.
4C – INFORMATION FOR A CORRECT INCUBATION
Suggested temperature at the beginning of incubation: 37,7°C
Suggested temperature during the last 3 days before hatching: 37,2°C.
