Artificial Incubation

Artificial incubation is a method used to hatch eggs under controlled conditions, rather than relying on a parent bird. This process involves placing eggs in an incubator, which regulates temperature, humidity, and ventilation to create an environment similar to a nest. This technique is widely used in agriculture to hatch poultry, such as chickens, and in conservation efforts for endangered species. By mimicking natural conditions, artificial incubation can increase hatch rates and help ensure the survival of various bird species, providing a valuable tool for both farming and wildlife preservation.
