Helpful Suggestions; Technical Characteristics - Ducatillon MG 140/200 RURAL Manuel D'utilisation

3. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

• In case of power failure for some hours during the incubation time, place one or more hot water bottles or similar containers into the machi-
ne 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 repe-
ated every two days, till the penultimate day of incubation.
• In order to supply the eggs with a constant and homogenous air flow, it is suggested to interchange the position of the trays between
themselves, weekly.
• In order to achieve accurate humidity readings, replace the wick regularly.
• When batch setting, in order to avoid conflict between the different requirements of each batch, it is suggested to proceed as it follows:
a) During the hatching period for each cycle, add one more water basin for humidity;
b) At the end of each hatching period, take out both the basins and clean them, then re-insert one only, full of water, two days later
in order to regulate the humidity inside the machine.
• The place where machines are located must have excellent hygienic and sanitary conditions, in order to avoid problems caused by bacte-
riological infections.
• It should be remembered that during incubation and hatching there is a constant risk of bacterial contamination and the following precau-
tions 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 anti-bacterial 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)
• Egg health and hygiene
To maximise fertility and to avoid contamination during the incubation period, please follow the directions below when collecting eggs
• Egg collecting
- Collect the eggs daily to avoid contamination or loss from breakage or damage,caused by hot or cold temperatures (winter and summer
periods).
- Before filling the incubator with eggs, clean them using a clean wet soft cloth or by washing in warm water with a proprietary egg sanitiser;
- Clean hands before and after egg collection with anti-batcerial soap.
Do not mark the eggs with felt-tip pens – use only pencil

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 are more advanced, when the embryo is stronger and more resilient.
