The choice of incubators in ours is not very large, but still experienced and novice poultry farmers prefer proven devices. One of these is Kvochka - an incubator, presented in several models.
In this article, we will look at the entire range of Kvochka incubators, you will learn about the characteristics and features of the devices, as well as how to use them.
Kvochka MI-30
This is the most popular and inexpensive model. The case of an incubator is made of polyfoam for better circulation of heat and its preservation inside. A thermostat is placed inside the case, which rotates to fix the temperature support in the entire internal space.
The temperature regime is adjusted manually, after which the thermostat maintains the set parameters by adjusting the lamp heater, which consists of four lamps.
This incubator consumes little electricity and is not only a budgetary, but also an economical device. The device weighs about 3 kg, while in itself it is compact, easy to transport and use.
The capacity of the incubator depends on the incubation material being laid, since the eggs of each bird species vary in size. So, quail eggs can be laid up to 200 pieces, goose - up to 40, chicken - up to 70.
The main advantages of this model are affordable cost, simple design, compactness, ease of use. The disadvantages include the need to turn the eggs by hand and constant monitoring of the humidity level.
Kvochka MI 30-1
This modification differs from the previous one in lighter weight and an electronic heat regulator.
The cost of both models is almost the same. Not much difference in weight and dimensions.
The presence of an electronic thermometer does not eliminate the need for manual temperature control. You also have to monitor the humidity and turn the eggs yourself.
Kvochka MI 30-1E
This is a more advanced device, equipped with a reversing mechanism, a fan for better air circulation, distribution of humidity and heat. In addition, the capacity was increased in this incubator (chicken up to 80, goose up to 45).
The electronic thermostat has a built-in sensor and is equipped with a display. The heater is made of thermal cord. Humidification of the air inside the incubator is regulated by special wipes that come with the kit. Napkins are wetted in water and placed in special cells. Evaporation of water creates an optimal level of humidity.
This model is more expensive than the previous ones. The disadvantages include the need to maintain the thermal cord, for some this process can be quite difficult. Despite this device is very common due to its ease of use, efficiency, as evidenced by the numerous positive reviews on the forums.
When ordering the device, be sure to specify for the eggs of which bird species the device is purchased. Depending on the size, you will be offered the appropriate lodgments.
Instructions for use
For the first two modifications, the instructions for use are almost identical. Kvochka MI 30-1 E has significant differences. Before using the incubator, the instruction is mandatory to study, otherwise you will not be able to use it correctly and get positive results. First of all, you need to understand the settings.
Before using the incubator, it must be prepared. First, set the temperature and make sure it stays the same (deviations ±1 °C are within normal limits.
After laying the eggs in the incubator, it is necessary to constantly monitor the humidity and temperature. The eggs of each type of poultry have their own hatching characteristics. You can study this information in more detail in the section of our website " Derivation ".
