Some poultry farmers and cockfighters have a problem in incubating and hatching game
fowl chickens and turkeys. Some game fowl and turkey hens leave the eggs during
brooding season causing low success hatching rate. This study, Development of Smart
Game Fowl and Turkey Egg Incubator seeks to innovate poultry egg incubator and enhance
the incubation process for small-scale producers of chicken, turkey, and game fowl.
Modern technology is integrated with the incubator to automate its vital operations,
ensuring efficient management and increased hatching rates. It has camera-assisted
candling to determine the maturity and potency of eggs, a remote-control application using
smartphone, an automatic temperature and humidity monitoring and control system as well
as an automated water replenishment system to maintain ideal hatching environmental
conditions. By using locally available materials, the design emphasizes affordability and
accessibility. The incubator's ability to detect embryos and its hatching efficiency were
used to assess its functionality. The prototype was evaluated by 40 respondents’ composts
of 30 poultry owners/cockfighters, 5 Engineers, and 5 Information Technology (IT) experts
and garnered an impressive overall mean score of 4.45 with a descriptive rating of
excellent. This rating demonstrated the prototype’s potential to enhance small-scale
farmers' egg incubation by its enhanced performance, robustness, and safety. However, the
prototype needs steady electricity and internet access to sustain its remote-control
application. This innovation has potential to increase production efficiency and help small-
scale poultry farmers have a better control of eggs incubation and higher hatching rates.
