An AC—DC incubator which has a capacity of 500 eggs, 300 watts heating element, 50 watts fan and ventilation hole on top was developed and evaluated at the School of Engineering, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite.
The machine has an initial cost of P12,213.50, total operation cost of P35,021.60 per year and operating cost per batch of P2,918.47.
The incubator maintained an average temperature of 39.81Cä C that resulted to 78 .77% hatching efficiency. The result of the study shows that the hatching efficiency of the AC—DC incubator is 3.01 percent higher than that of the solar powered incubator.
