Abstract

Artificial egg incubators are devices that are used to incubate and hatch eggs by maintaining the necessary conditions for fetal development within the egg. Any egg that is being incubated requires a great deal of attention and temperature control. This is accomplished by the use of a temperature control device that runs on electricity. Incubator temperatures are often kept between (98 and 100) degrees Fahrenheit. Even yet, only 78 to 85% of eggs will hatch. To increase the hatchability of the incubator unit, many recommendations are made. Moisture content is another essential consideration that should be stated in the range of 60% to 80%. While hatching the eggs in an incubator unit, there are a number of important aspects to consider. However, the most crucial component is to keep the temperature range within acceptable limits. In this respect, there are many research papers accessible. In general, this article reviewed latest 21 works in literature and provided a complete analysis of a number of ways to control temperature, humidity, and eggs rotation based on microcontrollers to provide a solution to the poultry industry in developing nations. A comparative analysis for recent incubator design approaches in literature is presented by this study including the works of five recent researchers such as, brief discussion of their objectives, problems they try to fix, methodology, preliminary results, and the decision made on each work. Finally, based on reviewing analysis, there is a gap that has not been covered, that is, the remote control and monitoring of the incubator using Internet of Things (IoTs) technology. This function is essential for the incubator to be accessible to boost the product and reduce the malfunction causing product and time losses.
