Solar-Powered Automatic Egg Incubator

The project aims to design and develop a solar-powered automatic egg incubator for small-scale poultry farming, particularly benefiting rural communities without access to the national electricity grid. This incubator will control temperature, humidity, and egg turning to enhance chick production and increase income for farmers. It is expected to promote poultry farming and create job opportunities in urban and rural settings in Ethiopia.

Project Title: Design and Development of solar powered

Automatic Egg Incubator


By
Takile Akuma1 Tadesse Tesfaye2
Objective
The main objective of this project is to design and develop solar powered automatic egg
incubator for small scale poultry farming.
Introduction
Egg incubation is a technology that provides opportunity for farmers to produce chicks from
egg without the influence of the mother hen. An artificial incubator is a chamber in which
temperature, humidity, turner and ventilation are controlled automatically for the purpose of
hatching and relatively large number of eggs can be handled at a time. For Chicken farmers
which are not connected to notational grid and small households at rural settlements to
maximize production and ultimate profit, egg incubators is required, which can be utilized by
solar energy in absence of national electricity grid. This project is aimed to design automatic
egg incubator which allows the use of solar PV system as an energy source, maintain internal
temperature and relative humidity within the required ranges, it also able to perform egg turning
through electric motor actuator mechanism.

Significance
The expected significance or benefits of this project works are to promote and increase the
production of chicken. It will play an important role in the day-old chick development in the
remote village and Area in urban farming in Ethiopia. It’s very helpful especially for rural
communities which are far away from national grid and used to increase their incomes. It’s
also very useful for job seekers who want to work on egg poultry by small enterprise (IMX) as
a business
