FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the ROI of upgrading my hatchery?
The return on investment depends on your current hatchery performance and the solutions you choose. HatchTech solutions are designed to improve efficiency, support uniform embryo development, enhance chick quality and create more value throughout the incubation process. Your HatchTech specialist can help calculate the expected return based on your hatchery’s production data and objectives.
Can HatchTech Solutions be integrated into an existing hatchery?
Yes. HatchTech Solutions can be integrated into both new and existing hatcheries. Whether you are upgrading a single stage of the process or investing in a complete hatchery, our specialists help design a solution that fits your existing layout, capacity and production goals.
What makes HatchCare different from a conventional hatcher?
HatchCare goes beyond traditional hatching by supporting chicks immediately after hatch. In addition to maintaining precise temperature and airflow, HatchCare provides feed, fresh water and light from the moment chicks hatch. This supports early chick development, improves chick quality and contributes to better performance later in life.
What’s the difference between SetCare and the MicroClimer Setter?
Both solutions create uniform incubation conditions, but they follow different incubation strategies. The MicroClimer Setter supports the traditional 21-day incubation process using precise climate control and Laminar Airflow. SetCare extends incubation to 24 days with a gradual warming profile that optimizes the earliest stage of embryo development, helping reduce early embryo mortality and improve first-grade chick results.
Which HatchTech solution fits my hatchery?
The right HatchTech solution depends on the stage of the incubation process you want to optimize. Setter Solutions support uniform embryo development, Hatcher Solutions create optimal hatching conditions, Chick Storage Rooms preserve chick quality before transport, and Technical Solutions provide the infrastructure for reliable hatchery performance. Your HatchTech specialist can help determine the best combination for your hatchery goals.

Laminar Airflow
Uniform environmental
conditions ensured
Developed by HatchTech’s in-house research team, our innovative Laminar Airflow solution ensures optimal, uniform climate and temperature conditions for chicks before and after hatching.
Airflow
Air moves in a single direction, eliminating turbulence and preventing variation across.
Temperature
A constant temperature is maintained throughout, removing fluctuations and ensuring consistency.
Ventilation
Fresh air is evenly supplied while heat and CO2 are removed without disturbing the climate.
Precision
Every detail, from airflow speed to direction, is designed for accuracy and repeatability.
The Science
Consistency is the key to
superior hatchability
Our research team discovered a direct correlation between consistent temperature and humidity and hatchability outcomes. This finding led to the development of our patented Laminar Airflow technology — a breakthrough in incubator and hatcher design that guarantees uniform conditions for every single egg.
