Setter Solutions
Reliable Incubation. Optimal Embryo Development.

HatchTech reduces early embryo mortality by creating optimal conditions from the very beginning of embryo development. Depending on the chosen setter solution, this is achieved through precise climate control with the MicroClimer Setter or biologically based gradual warming with SetCare. Both approaches are designed to support uniform embryo development and reliable hatchery performance.

Laminar Airflow creates identical incubation conditions for every embryo. It distributes conditioned air evenly across the entire egg mass, eliminating local temperature differences and ensuring uniform heat transfer. This supports consistent embryo development and predictable hatchery performance.

SetCare extends incubation to 24 days because embryo development begins at approximately 85°F, before traditional incubation starts. A six-day gradual warming phase creates optimal conditions during the earliest stage of embryo development, helping reduce early embryo mortality and increase the hatch of first-grade chicks.

The MicroClimer Setter creates uniform incubation conditions by precisely controlling temperature, airflow and heat transfer throughout the setter. Combined with Laminar Airflow, every embryo experiences the same environmental conditions, supporting uniform embryo development, predictable hatchery performance and outstanding chick quality.

The right setter solution depends on your incubation goals. The MicroClimer Setter is designed to create uniform incubation conditions for predictable embryo development and consistent chick quality. SetCare is designed for hatcheries that want to optimize the earliest stage of embryo development through a biologically based 24-day incubation process. Your HatchTech specialist can help determine which solution best fits your hatchery and production goals.
