| Summary: | This paper presents the design and development of an artificial incubator for poultry eggs. The incubator is designed to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity conditions for embryo development, and it is also equipped with an egg-turning mechanism. It was designed using Solid Edge software, and it was constructed using plywood, ceramic bar heaters, electric fans, ballcock valves, egg turning steel mechanism, and a CO2 meter. The temperature and humidity conditions inside the incubator were maintained within the desired ranges, and the egg-turning mechanism worked effectively. The results of this study show that this artificial incubator could be a reliable and effective tool for hatching poultry eggs. The incubator is easy to use and maintain, and it is affordable for local poultry farmers. Future studies should focus on determining the conditions under which the incubator will yield the best results in terms of hatching efficiency.
