Project Area of Specialization

Electrical/Electronic Engineering

Project Summary

To design and prototyping of a energy efficient eggs incubator which will be able to consume less energy and will provide high production of chicks. The project will increase the efficiency of livestock industries and will pay positive role for growing demand of chicken production for the country. Artificial incubation cannot spread parasites and diseases to the chicks and lastly there is no cost for feeding a broody hen since an incubator is used. In addition the chances of eggs spoilage are minimized since all eggs are subjected to the optimal hatching temperatures

Project Objectives

• Increase the production of chicks 
• To provide good business opportunities 
• To effciently automate the egg incubation using less power for poultry farms
• To meet the demand of zero hunger to meet sustainable development goals

Project Implementation Method

In our project is completely solar powered system which will take accurate and precise measurements of the environmental parameters within the incubator by means of highly sensitive  sensors collects the data  on temperature,  humidity  and  intensity  of  light.  The  system  utilizes arduino  to  control  all  the  peripherals  which  are connected to the system. This controller is fast enough and also  possesses  the  ability  to  run  multiple  programs. Digital sensor are used to obtain the temperature & humidity. Incandescent lamp will be used as the heat source reduces substantial power consumption as against using heater. High efficiency fans are used to circulate the heated air within the chamber  to  maintain  required temperature. A humidifier is used to maintain the pre set humidity in the entire internal system. A standard widely available  12C LCD  display  unit  is  integrated  to  the electronic  module  that  is  used  as  a  display  unit.  The outputs from all the sensors are connected to the heart of the incubator, which gives the command to power on or off the desired peripheral connected to it, as deemed fit. A battery is  also employed  for  backup purposes.

Benefits of the Project

• livestock industory
• business
• food

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

An automatic solar powered egg incubator system suitable for hatching chicken eggs and other kinds of eggs. Which will be designed and fabricated using the available local materials to achieve efficient performance. Factors affecting egg incubation include temperature, humidity, ventilation, heat and egg turning rate.These factors are necessary for the efficient performance of the incubator. Temperature range will always be kept at 37.5degrees of Celsius ( 99.5 degrees of Fahrenheit) this will be controlled by a thermostat and also humidity on this case will be controlled. Humidity must be maintained in 40 to 50 per cent for the first 18 days, 65 to 75 per cent humidity for the final days before hatching. We will deliver a complete egg incubation system which will perform hactching of chicks from  eggs and will maintain the required temperature for its optimal hatching.
