Incubation Of Palmipeds-Eggs (Goose, Duck, Etc.); Information For A Correct Incubation - river systems ET 12 Notice D'emploi

Only for art. 512: change the inclination of the eggs at least 4 times a day by tilting the handle placed at the back 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 unit (art. 556M-1), ensure that the cradles of the egg tray make a complete inclination every two hours.
Inclination rightwards
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.
6D – 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.
6E – 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.
