Measuring Heat and Humidity Temperature

Measuring Heat and Humidity Temperature in Incubators

Measuring the heat and humidity temperature of the incubator is one of the factors to consider for having better incubation and hatchability. Recording the heat and humidity temperature of the incubation is the basis of performance of the machine. You can rely on the record of the machine if your have poor hatchability. You can see in the record the fluctuation of the heat and humidity temperature. You can use hatching egg thermometer for dry bulb reading and hygrometer for wet bulb reading. You can also monitor the wet loss of the hatching egg during the incubation period base in the humidity reading in your hygrometer. It is recommended that you read often the temperature of the machine that’s why you can calibrate quickly and to eliminate fluctuation of the temperature and to have better hatchability. Constant temperature is needed to maintain in machine and you can study base in your actual reading and measuring the temperature. It is important to decide on what humidity program you can set in the machine. Base on the weight loss of the egg you can compute what changes in a programmed humidity you can decide to add or to less in humidity programmed. There are many ways in measuring the temperature of incubator. Analog device such as thermometers and hygrometer are use in measuring the temperature heat and humidity. Some hatchery that used computer in reading and measuring temperature are also rely in analog thermometer. Therefore, if you are using an mechanical device to control the incubator but you have the analog thermometer the same use as the computerize incubator it is possible to have the same hatchability if you often calibrate, measure, and record your temperature in your incubator.
