4 Smart steps to building a new hatchery

Step

Choose the correct site for your new hatchery

When choosing a site, look out for the following basic local requirements: A well drained site, minimum 615 sq.m. making sure there is sufficient, available space to extend your hatchery as required in the future Preferably not more than 1800 meters above sea level (unless hatching eggs are produced at the same altitude) Ideally more than 500 meters away from other poultry farms: check prevailing wind direction does not carry debris or potential pathogens from other poultry farms in the area Reliable supply of electricity for main power and heating Reliable, uninterrupted supply of water for cooling, humidifying and cleaning

Step

Choose your incubators

Use the following table to decide how many setters and hatchers you will need:
Incubators Setter Capacity (eggs) Width (mm) Dimensions Depth (mm) Height (mm) Ventilation (m3/h) Connection values Cooling (kW) Electricity (kW)

Configure your hatchery layout

With Smart incubation you can plan for growth from the very start. The following options demonstrate which hatchery layout you will need, to cater not only for your business needs today, but also to grow your business in the future.

Energy consumption

Note: All energy values shown are based on estimations of energy consumption per incubation cycle. Cooling power can be supplied by: (ground) water, where 1 kW cooling power equals 144 l/h of water at 12C (with T = 6C), or by chiller, where 1 kW cooling power equals 0,3 kW electricity (with chiller ESEER of 3,5).
