Hatchery efficiency is based on hatchability and the number of salable chicks. The hatchery sector has been seeking new alternatives to optimize production rates, including use different systems (multistage [MS] or single-stage [SS] machines) improve incubation conditions. present study aimed compare results for hatchability, chick quality, broiler performance chicks from 2 incubator systems-MS...

This study compared mothers’ and newborns’ temperatures (T) when the WHO recommended skin-to-skin contact (SSC) was practiced during cesarean section under regional anesthesia. 139 neonates were randomized to be left in their mothers’ arms warmed by a forced air warmer (SSC-FAW) or put in an incubator. Maternal and newborn rectal T was recorded immediately after birth, at 5, 10 and 15 minute in...

We compared the response of temperature adaptation in preterm infants using the polyethylene wrap with and without previous drying versus the sterile preheated field. Both groups of polyethylene use achieved a mean axillary temperature of 36.5C at 30 minutes compared with 75 minutes for the group of traditional care. At 120 minutes, the incubator temperature was higher in those using preheated ...

Laparoscopic surgery seems to have a general physiological benefit compared to conventional procedures in several clincal studies especially regarding intestinal anastomotic healing. Reliable experimental data concerning the particular mode of beneficial action are lacking. Clinical studies will not be able to identify the variables responsible for this effect. To establish a feasible, standard...

Innovative start-ups are important drivers for economic development. However, they often suffer from several market imperfections and lack the necessary resources to flourish. Incubators an policy mechanism nurturing creation growth of successful entrepreneurial ventures. Specifically, we argue that incubators act as effective tool in filling start-ups’ social capital conferring them more legit...

This experiment was conducted to assess the effects of a geothermal plus sunlight-based incubator on growth performance, electricity uses and housing environment piglets. A total 20 piglets, average 7.7 ± 0.015 kg (mean std.) initial body weight, were randomly divided into two separated incubators: control (conventional incubator) heat pump (GS) with 10 replicated The experimental duration 8 we...

A method is described that obviates the need for vacuum and tanks of gas mixtures for anaerobiosis in the anaerobic incubator.
