Temperature is an important condition for artificial hatching of duck eggs

Temperature is the most important condition in the incubation conditions. Only under the appropriate temperature conditions (incubator temperature 37.5 °C ~ 38.2 °C) can ensure the normal material metabolism and growth of duck embryos. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the development of the embryo. If the temperature exceeds 42°C, the embryo will die after 2 hours to 3 hours. On the contrary, the incubation temperature is low, the embryo develops slowly and the incubation period extends. The death rate increases. If the temperature is as low as 24°C, all embryos die after 30 hours. The specific temperature should depend on the variety, egg weight, embryo age, growth conditions, temperature, and practical experience.

Artificial hatching usually has two modes: constant temperature incubation and variable temperature incubation.

Constant temperature incubation in the same incubator, there are multiple batches of embryos of different incubation ages, adopt constant temperature (37.8 °C) incubation, which is constant temperature incubation.

Incubation at a variable temperature In a hatchery, only a single batch of hatched eggs can be incubated at a temperature that is required for each stage of the embryo. The incubation temperature is greatly affected by natural conditions such as the season and climate. Therefore, the temperature of the incubator should be higher when the indoor temperature is low, and the temperature of the incubator should be lower when the indoor temperature is high. In the late fall, winter and early spring temperatures should be kept at equilibrium, preferably maintained at 27 °C ~ 30 °C.

The advantages of variable temperature incubation can be gradually adjusted according to the age and development of the embryo, which is beneficial to the development of the embryo.

The hatching duck eggs have certain developmental characteristics every day. This characteristic can clearly be seen before the stronger light. According to the characteristics of the embryonic development, the proper incubation temperature is given for its normal development. "Temperature" technology, skilled in grasping the day-to-day development characteristics of duck embryos, can accurately determine the number of days of incubation, and thus adjust the incubation temperature according to the number of incubation days.
