The present invention relates to an ostrich egg incubator that can effectively remove the affected carbon dioxide.

In general, ostrich is the most productive livestock, the largest and most flightless bird in the world, providing quality meat and skin, and having nothing to throw away from feathers to claws. It is an animal that requires investment. Currently, booms are being formed and raised in South Africa, the United States, Canada, Israel, Australia, Zimbabwe, Europe, Japan, and China. In particular, in neighboring China, ostrich breeders in each region are supported and fostered as a national policy project. It has been established as a breeding company to lead the livestock industry in the 21st century with the establishment of a professional research institute.

In Korea, imports were allowed, and many farmers were very interested in other farming, and many ostrich breeding farmers and related businesses, such as livestock, egg processing, and feed, participated as members, and the Korea Ostrich Association was established.

Ostrich hatching takes place at 36.5 ° C (97.5 ° F), relative humidity is 20%, and the number of days required for loading varies from 42 to 45 days, depending on the temperature. desirable. The egg is placed upright with the chamber up, and when the eggs are placed in the opposite direction (bottom of the chamber), the embryo's position is incorrect and the load rate drops, and the egg angle is 45 ° from the vertical and at least six times a day. .

On the other hand, the circulation of air in the incubator is to uniformize the temperature, humidity, oxygen and carbon dioxide in the incubator, ventilation is very essential for the supply of oxygen and the discharge of carbon dioxide, the oxygen is generally 20.5% in the air composition in the incubator As mentioned above, when carbon dioxide is 0.5% or less but oxygen decreases by 1%, hatching rate is known to drop by 5%. And when more than 1.5% of carbon dioxide is fatal.

However, the conventional ostrich egg incubator is formed in the upper side of the hatching chamber is effective in the discharge of carbon dioxide generated from the egg sinking to the lower side of the hatching chamber, there is a problem that results in fatal to the egg. In addition, there is no function to sterilize various contaminants contained in the outside air introduced into the hatching chamber, so that the contaminants are introduced into the hatching chamber as it is, and thus there is a problem that the hatching rate is lowered.
