(1) Incubators must keep a certain distance from the outside world. Incubators should be far away from factories, residential areas and other hatcheries or poultry farms. Incubator is an independent isolation unit with its own dedicated entrance and exit. If the hatchery is attached to the duck breeding farm, the gap between the hatchery and the duck house should be kept at least150m to avoid the lateral spread of pathogenic microorganisms from the duck house.

(2) The hatchery should determine the appropriate scale according to the specific situation. Usually, the size of the hatchery is determined according to the number of eggs hatched every week or every time, the number of chicks hatched every week or every time, and the corresponding incubators and chicks.

(3) Design principle of incubator workshop. Incubators should include incubation rooms, incubation rooms, auxiliary operation rooms and shower rooms, as well as waste and sundry sewage treatment, factory roads, parking lots and greening. The production process from hatching eggs to delivering ducklings runs circularly from one room to another adjacent room, and cannot cross back and forth.

(4) The hatchery must ensure smooth water use and drainage. The hatchery has a large amount of water and a lot of drainage, so attention should be paid to the construction of water supply and drainage channels.

⑤ Incubator must ensure power supply. Modern incubation equipment mostly adopts electric heating, and uses fans to adjust the temperature and ventilation in the machine. Therefore, the power consumption of the incubator must be guaranteed and there can be no power failure. Even if there is a power failure, there should be a standby power supply or a dual power supply.

(2) Requirements of various buildings in the incubator.

(1) Egg collection and loading room This room has a larger area to facilitate the stacking of egg trays and the operation of the egg rack car. Room temperature should be kept at 65438 08 ~ 20℃.

② The fumigation room is used for fumigation or spray disinfection of eggs to be hatched. This room can't be too big, it should be calculated according to the total number of eggs fumigated at one time. The structure of doors, windows, walls and ceilings should be tight, and ventilation devices should be set.

(3) Egg storage room The walls and ceiling of this room should have good thermal insulation performance and slow and sufficient ventilation. Set the air conditioner and keep the room temperature at 13 ~ 15℃.

(4) Incubation room, the size of this room is determined by the type of incubator and incubator selected. The height of the ceiling should be higher than the top plate of the incubator or incubation room1.6m.. Whether it is a double row or a single row, there should be enough working channels. About 30 cm before the incubator, a drainage ditch should be opened and covered with an iron fence. The grid hole 1.5 cm should be flush with the ground. The floor of the incubator should be smooth, the bearing pressure of the floor should be greater than 6.86 kPa (700 kg/m2), and the room temperature should be kept at 22 ~ 24℃. The waste gas in the incubation room is discharged through the water bath to prevent the ducklings from being blown outdoors, sucked into the air intake system and brought back to the room of the incubation factory. Professional hatcheries should be equipped with preheating rooms.

⑤ A separate washing room should be set beside the incubation room and the incubation room to wash the egg tray and the incubation tray respectively. There should be a soaking pool in the bathroom. Drainage sewers and sedimentation tanks with leaky plates on the ground.

⑥ duckling sex identification and packaging room This room is used for sex identification and packaging, and the room temperature should be kept at 25 ~ 365438 0℃.

⑦ The storage room for ducklings is a temporary storage room after being boxed, and a sunshade is set outdoors to facilitate loading in rainy days. The room temperature should be around 25℃.

Today, plastic shutters with adjustable light and shade should be installed in the inspection room.
