METHOD OF INCUBATING EGGS OF POULTRY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A01K41/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to poultry breeding, in particular to methods of incubation, and can be used in agriculture for artificial breeding of young birds. The incubation of chicken eggs is carried out by daily cycles at a temperature of 36-38°C in combination with a 30-minute session of aeroionisation per day. The daily cycle includes 4 periods. In the first period, the eggs are incubated in a temperature range of 37.6-37.8°C. In the second period, the eggs are prepared for aeroionisation session. The temperature is reduced to 36°C and exposed at this temperature range for at least 1 hour. Then the cycle passes into the third period. In the beginning of the third period the temperature is raised to 38°C, and the aeroioniser is switched on. The session of aeroionisation is carried out for 30 minutes with a concentration of aeroions of 10⁵ ion/cm³. At the end of the session of aeroionisation, the fourth period of incubation cycle is started to conduct. The temperature is reduced to 36°C and exposed for 1-1.5 hours. After 1-1.5 hours the temperature is restored to 37.6-37.8°C and exposed during the astronomical day until the next cycle.

EFFECT: intensity of metabolism, gas exchange, tissue respiration is provided, as well as use of nutritional substances of yolk, increase in level of hemoglobin in blood of embryos.
