Gradual warming

… is the key to higher hatchability percentages

Eggs are stored at a temperature of 69 °F, which maintains the internal metabolism at a low level. Rapid warming in the incubator gives the embryo insufficient time to start up its metabolism properly. Gradual warming gives the embryo the time it needs. The result is a higher hatchability percentage.

…higher hatchability thanks to warming profiles

Trials comparing the two warming profiles have shown that the HatchTech method produces 1.0% more hatched eggs averaged over all ages of breeders. A significant difference in performance and hatchability.

… more closed navels thanks to gradual warming

Research reveals that gradual warming in the incubator results in chicks with better navel quality. Thanks to gradual warming at the start of the incubation process, the number of chicks with a completely closed navel increases by at least 3.5% compared with an incubation process without gradual warming.
