REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A TECHNO-EGG INCUBATOR

Times change and the changes come with better, efficient and cleaner ways of getting things done. Technological know how advances on a daily basis therefore problems and inept solutions that have lived with us for centuries have found matching techno-savvy solutions invented to keep pace with human needs and modern civilization. As a result, the slowly but steady exit of the ancient natural incubation process in which birds sat on their eggs to hatch their young ones, has seen the entry of the techno-egg incubator.

Built with the natural incubation process in mind, the techno-egg incubator comes with all the requisite conditions found during the natural incubation process. With optimal temperature, relative humidity and rotation of the eggs catered for within the build, the machine is a sure testament of the success of technological advancement in the agricultural sector.  This machine will not only increase your success rate with the hatching process of your bird-eggs,but will also make your work easier, cleaner and of course modern.

Techno-egg incubators come in different sizes. The smallest being a 42-capacity egg incubator and the upper limit capacity can be build on order  based on the customer’s specification and need. But currently BESTHATCH INCUBATORS stocks a 528-capacity incubator. Depending on your need for production, whether  domestic or commercial, you are bound to get the best deal for your money in this investment.

So why buy a techno-egg incubator? Here are some of the compelling reasons based on the  feedback from our buyers as to why an investment in a techno-egg incubator is worth your hard earned money. 

1. You will get back you investment  in the shortest time possible. Forget the quail crazy that got my beloved Kenyans running up and down scampering for quick money. With this machine, we are talking poultry eggs. We are talking bird eggs. Chicken eggs, duck eggs, turkey eggs, guinea fowl eggs, goose eggs, peacock eggs, pigeon eggs, parrot eggs  and of course quail eggs. For instance, taking an example of chicken, lets say you buy a 60-capacity egg incubator at Ksh. 12500 and with a hatch rate of over 90%, you are bound to hatch at least 50 chicks. Currently , a one day old chick sells for Ksh. 180 and dealing only on one day old chicks, in a span of just one-and-a-half months, your machine will have hatched twice, you will have sold twice and got a return on your investment. Of course your chances of success increase with a larger incubator and older birds.

2. It will help you save money. For domestic purposes, an incubator will enable you produce your own birds either for consumption or for prestige. And from the above figures, comparing with one who buys these birds from vendors, it’s obvious that in the long run, one who produces spends less. Another reason is that someone who buys will definitely incur other costs, sunk costs to be specific that he/she will not be aware of  in the process of acquiring the birds. Among these costs are transport cost and tipping venders here and there.

3. The machine consumes less electricity. Unlike big household consumer appliances like an iron box, a deep freezer and a washing machine, an incubator consumes an amount that is slightly above the consumption of a TV set. The value is about 500 Watts which roughly translates to Ksh. 400 on top of your regular monthly electricity bill.

                            

4. Operating it is easy. Set. Press the the button,with upward or downward arrow, to increase or reduce temperature respectively. Set. The same applies the setting relative humidity.  For rotating the shelves within the structure, long press the button with an upward arrow and ensure the shelves rotate to the maximum angle in both directions. Bravo, all set and done and ready to go. Operating this machine is as easy as the steps i have described above. We demonstrate these easy steps before handing over the machine during the process transaction. Once these settings are made, they remain  as set unless reset. Furthermore, we give a written manual to our buyers to aid them in operation as is a requirement of all new machines.

5. Hatching process is clean and hygienic.  Apart from the shells from hatch-lings, no poultry pests and parasites, no feathers and of course there are no soiling in the area of incubation as usually characterized in the natural process. Elimination of these unclean conditions by the incubator definitely gives rise to a clean and hygienic environment in which other unrelated operations can still be undertaken.

6. The process is continuous. Once the eggs are transferred to hatching tray after 18 days of incubation as is in the case of chicken eggs, you only have to wait for between 3-5 days as the last eggs hatch. After this process, and after transferring the hatch-lings to the brooder, more eggs can be arranged in the shelves and the process continues. The continuous process of hatching suits commercial poultry keepers more considering that  the availability of their produce must also be continuous all year round. However, producers for domestic consumption need not worry about continuity.

7. The machine is very durable. The techno-egg incubator is made from durable and high quality plastic or wood. The wooden machine is finished perfectly to give it a metallic luster and both have a life spanning over 10 years in use. The physical structure of machine is never affected by outside conditions and will continue functioning  in the face of adverse environmental conditions, but the interior conditions are best maintained at room temperature and pressure. Nevertheless, for the peace of mind of clients, a 6-months warranty is usually issued within which free repairs are done in the almost unlikely circumstance of a breakdown.

8. Your need and specifications is taken into account. Save for the imported incubators which come rigidly built, locally assembled machines that are mostly made on the order of clients. These are customized, specifically to suit a client’s need.  Just in case a customer wants an incubator that carries more that 2500 eggs, materials are collected, transported to the site in which the machine is to stand then it is built there. This reduces the strain on our customers as far as ferrying the heavy and cumbersome machines are concerned.
