Dedicated Egg Warming and Cooling Chamber The Challenge Hatcheries that hold eggs for longer than 7 days risk losses in hatchability and reduced chick quality. Performing short periods of heating and cooling during egg storage minimizes these risks, but it is necessary to create an environment where accurate temperature changes can be efficiently applied to the daily operations of a hatchery. SPIDES: Short Periods of Incubation During Egg Storage Research has shown that it is possible to recover 60 – 70% of hatchability lost when storage must be prolonged longer than a week. Utilizing the principle of Avida's single-stage superior airflow, the SPIDES is a growing concept in incubation Encore System utilizes hot water and electric heating and cold water management, and the Encore System is the cooling in order to raise or reduce the temperature of the entire egg best way to introduce it to a hatchery. mass evenly, efficiently and economically. Time (hours) Encore follows the SPIDES principle by applying a raise in temperature, followed by a period of sustained temperature, then a cooling period. How it works Farm or setter trolleys of your choice are placed into the Encore chamber. The control system increases the temperature gradually, sustains it for a few hours and then manages the necessary decrease to reach the egg room temperature. This process can be repeated several times according to the total storage time of the eggs. The Encore Requires a source of pumped hot water and chilled water from the hatchery and integrates with several Chick Master solutions designed to keep your hatchery running perfectly. www.chickmaster.com [email protected]
