What are the differences between traditional poultry hatching methods and modern incubator hatching methods?

The traditional poultry hatching methods include natural hatching, spread-bed hatching, fire-kang hatching and so on, which are significantly different from those of modern incubators.

(1) Disadvantages of traditional poultry hatching: the traditional poultry hatching method is inefficient, labor-consuming and time-consuming, and it is difficult to accurately control the hatching temperature, humidity and ventilation, and the operation technology is not easy to popularize; When hatching, it is easy to cause embryo death, low hatching rate, many weak chicks and high mortality rate of chicks.

(2) The advantages of modern hatcher for incubating poultry completely overcome the shortcomings of traditional incubating methods. The hatcher can completely control the temperature, humidity and ventilation in the hatcher, and turn the eggs automatically with high accuracy. Therefore, the hatching rate of fertilized eggs is generally around 9% when poultry are hatched by incubator, and the labor efficiency is significantly improved.
