The first step is to understand your machine’s airflow, whether it is vertical or horizontal, as well as the locations of air inlets, exhausts, heating, and cooling elements. If you are working with a multi-stage machine, it is essential to understand the positioning concept and logic, including where the exothermic and endothermic eggs are located and why.
For a single-stage incubator, all embryos will have the same developmental age, making the process more straightforward. If you are doing partial sets, it is crucial to ensure that empty spaces are positioned correctly to maintain machine balance. Keep in mind that it is recommended to avoid egg sets below 50% of the machine’s capacity
Another important aspect is the placement of incubator trays on the hatcher dollies, as different machine types have specific loading patterns.
By understanding these factors, you can follow the incubation equipment manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure a proper setting process.
