Balancing CO2 and Humidity for Superior Hatch Rates and Chick Quality
Incubation and chick quality are influenced by multiple factors, making it a complex process with numerous challenges. Temperature regulation during incubation is critical, as both excessively high or low temperatures can result in poor chick quality, such as reduced body weights and increased susceptibility to diseases like ascites. Humidity control is important, affecting the hatching process where improper humidity can lead to malformed chicks or difficulties during the hatch. Ventilation within incubators is essential for oxygen supply and the removal of excess carbon dioxide, with inadequate ventilation resulting in hypoxia, which adversely affects embryonic development. Egg position, turning angles and airflow influence several processes, including gas exchange and heat transfer between the eggs and the external environment, egg water loss, adhesion of the embryo to the extra-embryonic membrane structures (corium, amnion and allantois), and nutrient availability.
Our Latest Development – The PrimoTech Max94
The Max94 setter tray and basket have been developed to fulfil every criteria required by today’s poultry professionals. Two tray types are available, with or without stacking pillars, the latter of which can be stacked 18 high to achieve a capacity up to 162,432 eggs per setter. The Max94 adapts the air velocity and cooling in proportion to the increase in capacity to maintain performance at such high density. The tray is perfect for any size of operation, and with the reduced cost per egg is more affordable than other tray systems.

What our customers say
We have just started the new extension that will take us well into 2017. We took the decision to work with a British hatchery supplier, EmTech. We have used this company in the past two years on smaller projects and have been very impressed with their installations, equipment, and their experienced team.” – OmeadSerati, Managing Director of Hy-Line UK
The EmTech team and the superior quality of their hatchery equipment impressed us immensely. We knew that EmTech is a young company but were also very aware of their team’s reputation and pedigree in the poultry business over the last 25 years.” – Gijs Schimmel, President of Centurion Poultry
We were looking to expand our hatchery business and looked at many suppliers. We chose EmTech to supply our new machines as they are not overly complicated. They have been able to customise the machines to our requirements and we have been very impressed with the quality of the finish, the prompt delivery, and the enthusiasm of all of the staff. We are only a small hatchery but have always felt like an important customer and have received exceptional after sales service. It is an added bonus that they are local. Furthermore, our first two hatches of the season have shown an increase in hatchability of 15% and 22% so a very happy customer.” – Yvette Milton, Newland Farm Geese
