Reliable RH and Temperature sensor from Michell helps farmers increase yield of healthy poultry.
Michell Instruments is helping to increase the number of healthy chicks hatched in farms with its I7000 Hygrosmart temperature and relative humidity sensors.

The I7000 Hygrosmart temperature and relative humidity sensor provides highly reliable and accurate measurements of these key parameters for chick hatching. The sensor is accurate and highly stable with less than 1% RH drift over a year to maintain the ideal hatching conditions over time. The small yet rugged sensor is also easily interchangeable with a simple ‘plug and play’ system, which means that farmers can maintain the accuracy of their RH and temperature measurements in the incubator themselves. The easy procedure takes only few minutes, saving time, and is extremely cost efficient.
The ideal temperature and humidity ranges for hatching a chicken egg cover a narrow span. While a brood hen maintains the correct levels naturally, an incubator needs reliable and accurate control to be sure changes in the temperature and humidity don’t make conditions unsuitable for the chick embryos to develop. Just 15 minutes above the top end of the temperature range can be enough to kill off the developing chicks, while changes in temperature during incubation will result in unhealthy birds. However, with the correct controls in place, egg incubators reliably produce high yields of successfully hatched eggs because the ideal conditions can be maintained.
