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 humi-
dity 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

4. USEFUL SUGGESTIONS
• In lack of electric power for any hours during the period of incubation, introduce into the machine one or more
hermetic bags full of hot water, leaving the ventilation holes opened.
• Before to place the eggs into the incubator, let them rest at least for three days in a specific egg-basket (in
a vertical position with the air-chamber placed upwards), stocked in a cool room whose temperature is not
more than 14-16 °C.
• In order to guarantee to the eggs a constant and homogenous air flux, it is suggested to interchange the eggs
between themselves weekly.
• Regarding the eggs of palmipeds, it is suggested after 15 days of incubation, to take out them and spray with
lukewarm water (using a hygienic sprayer) and then to leave them cool out from the incubator for around 15 minutes.
This operation will be got again every two days till the penultimate day of incubation.
• The local where the machine will be placed should be rigorously in perfect hygienic sanitary conditions and
without conditions of unhealthiness in order to obviate to problems of bacteriological infections
· Healthiness and hygiene of the egg
For guarantee the fertility and avoid contaminations during incubation time, when you are picking up the eggs
it is suggested to follow the following indications:
- Pick up the eggs every day to avoid their contamination, the dribble for break-up and the damages becau-
se of heat in the summer time or because of freezing during the winter;
- Before fill incubator with eggs, clean them using a wet soft cloth.
- Wash the hands carefully before and then the collecting eggs using a soap-gel action;
- THE EGGS MUST BE CONSERVED NOT LATER THEN 7- 8 DAYS IN A LOCAL WITH TEMPERATURE
BETWEEN 14 – 16 °C
- Do not mark the eggs with coloured and toxic pens or pencils.
It must be noted that when the air-space is smaller than shown in the table, it is necessary to increase the humidity value; when the air-
2
space is larger than shown in the table, the humidity must be increased.
