Smart Incubator

Abstract

background : Poultry is one of the most important source of protein , and its cost is appropriate with the low-income, it is characterized by fast multiplying , short life cycle and high production efficiency.[1] objectives : The aim of this project is development of eggs incubator currently deployed for the purpose of reducing the proportion of errors that occur due to either person or the circumstances surrounding the eggs. Also to make it possible to put different types of eggs in the incubator, just after some adjustments in the device, methods : these paper implies an experimental study , adjustments depends on the type of bird, in this project the tungsten lamb is use as alternative of mother heat , fan to provide the necessary ventilation, also some water for proper humidity. Metal cylinders connected by DC motor used for flipping eggs to make sure the heat was distributed ,push buttons to enter some information from the user, LCD for the current status , the LCD and DC motor are connected to micro controller to make the process of flipping and monitoring the changes done automatically . In this project chicken eggs were chosen ,16 veterinary eggs in meddle size were put inside the incubator , and monitored for 21days. results : 12 eggs hatched , 8 from them were in a good health but the others had fewer fluff than the others . conclusion and recommendations: The solar system Is an ideal system for such projects, especially if the power supply was irregular that insures the process of incubation occurs automatically since the beginning of the incubation period tell the eggs hatch , without any interruption .
