Abstract

Module for operational control of the guided advance/withdrawal device of the needle added to the smart substance injection device on board equipment for inoculating substances inside a fertile egg and smart method for injection inside a fertile egg, wherein the “inoculation of substances” inside a fertile egg, be this into the embryo, in the case of vaccines, and even into the amniotic fluid, in the case of a nutrient or nutritional vaccine complex, allows the injection needle (11) to be brought close at a controlled speed.

Abstract

A radial fan for an incubator for poultry eggs and newly hatched poultry. The fan has a longitudinally-elongated, hub and a plurality of self-supporting, radially-extending, fan blades on the hub. Each blade is laterally deformable, so that it is deformed by air pressure in a counter-clockwise direction when the hub is rotated in a clockwise direction and is deformed by air pressure in a clockwise direction when the hub is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hatcher basket for holding newly hatched birds in an incubator. The basket has: —a pair of side walls on horizontally opposite sides having a plurality of horizontally-extending openings through them; —a horizontally-extending trough which is attached to the exterior of each side wall and which can contain feed for the newly hatched birds; —the bottom of each opening in each side wall being located at the same distance above the bottom of the side wall; —the top of each trough being located at this same distance above the bottom of its side wall; and —the size of each opening being significantly larger than the head of the newly hatched birds but significantly smaller than the thorax of the newly hatched birds.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a package containing feed and/or drink for consumption and digestion by newly hatched birds undergoing incubation and/or baby birds being stored or transported after incubation, preferably immediately or soon after incubation. The top of the package is made of a material that the birds can readily puncture and tear to access the feed and/or drink.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for providing food and water for consumption and digestion by: newly hatched birds or newly hatched reptiles undergoing incubation; and/or baby birds and baby reptiles being transported after incubation. The birds or reptiles are fed edible insects and/or edible parts of insects during their incubation or transport.

Abstract

Method for providing a bird, reptile or mammal, for its consumption, with a source of water that does not dry out under prolonged heating conditions by providing an exogenous deep eutectic solvent of water and two or more primary metabolites. In particular, a method for strengthening newly hatched birds during their incubation by providing the birds, for their consumption during their incubation, with the exogenous deep eutectic solvent.

Abstract

Method of incubating poultry eggs in an incubator comprising one or more incubator sections wherein an air flow is generated within each incubator section and the CO2 content and/or the air humidity are measured in air horaogenized by the air flow. Fresh air is supplied to adjust the measured air humidity to a set point value provided that the measured CO2 content is below a predefined upper limit. The fresh air is mixed into air already present in the incubator before the mixed air is guided along the eggs. Incubator with air inlets comprising a control unit responsive to sensors for measuring the air humidity and the COa content of the homogenized mixed air in the incubator.
