Abstract:
In recent years, research on a poultry egg incubator has become very interesting, especially quail eggs. The main objective of this study is applied to Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) as an innovative technique used to control the power supply for the pulse's generator. The experiments were carried out to apply the PRF technique during an incubation process through design and build an electronic circuit for producing a pulse repetition frequency signal to control the pulses generated using PRF circuit. This circuit was used to generate PRF waves so that the frequency pulses of the generator can be adjusted as required level during the integrated circuit. The incubator performance was evaluated under the following parameters: four different pulse intensities (48, 60, 72 and 84 W.m-2) and frequency durations (10, 15, 20 and 25 minute per hour), taking into consideration the following indicators: hatchability, mortality, and incubator efficiency. The obtained results reveal that the highest hatchability percentage of 89% and a mortality of 17% with incubator efficiency of 83%. It was observed that the consumed energy value of 529 W.h. The quail egg incubator is recommended to be used under a pulse intensity of 72 W.m-2 with a frequency duration of 25 minutes per hour. The results of this research are difficult to compare with other studies because there is no data on this subject in the available literature.
