The study entitled “THE CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVISED
INCUBATOR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CHICKEN EGGS. HEAT SOURCE:
MAHOGANY” had focused on improvising an incubator from used can
of cooking oil that uses dried mahogany fruit as a source of heat.
Two treatments were used namely: Treatment A: commercial
incubator or the control and Treatment B: The improvised incubator.
Twenty two days of incubation was done in the treatment using 12
pieces of chicken eggs. The results were determined through the
number of hatched eggs and rotten eggs after 22 days of incubation.
The average hatched eggs of treatment A after 2 replications are
10.5 hatched eggs and 1.5 rotten eggs. The average hatched eggs of
treatment B after 2 replications are 9.5 hatched eggs and 2.5 rotten
eggs. Two replications were done for each treatment. Based on the
results, there is no significant difference between an improvised
incubator and a commercial incubator. The improvised incubator is
effective in incubating chicken eggs. The researchers recommend
the use of an improvised incubator that uses waste materials as a
source of heat to make a small poultry business.
Days today our nation was suffering from food crisis. One
of the main problem now in our country is hunger. People were
experiencing lack of food production. This will cause to
malnutrition. And if this problem could not be solved in the future
this might cause diseases which results to death.
This Improvised Incubator may help increase food
production. This device used to grow and maintain microbiological
cultures or cell cultures. The incubator maintains optimal
temperance, humidity and other conditions such as the carbon
dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside.
Incubators are essential for a lot experimental work in cell biology,
microbiology, and molecular biology and are used to culture both
bacterial as well as eukaryotic cells.
Incubators are also used in the poultry industry to act as a
substitute for hens. This often results in higher hatch rates due to
the ability to control both temperature and humidity.
The study entitled “The Construction of
Improvised Incubator for the Production of
Chicken Eggs. Heat Source: Mahogany” seeks
the answer for the following questions:
1. What is the difference number of hatched
eggs between the commercial incubator and
improvised incubator?
2. Will the days of incubation be decreased
when using the improvised incubator?
Independent Variable
Improvised Incubator
Dependent Variable
Chicken Eggs
Null Hypothesis
There is no significant effect between
the commercial incubator and the
improvised incubator.
 Alternative Hypothesis
The days of incubation was decreased
by using the improvised incubator.

The creation of the “THE CONSTRUCTION OF
IMPROVISED INCUBATOR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
CHICKEN EGGS.HEAT SOURCE:MAHOGANY” will give
advantage especially to the domestic fowls raisers
and breeders who cannot afford to buy a
commercial incubator for incubating the eggs. In
this way it will be a great help for the breeders to
find a substitute to a commercial one and to
acquainted with the simpler and smaller extent of
expensive devices.
The improvised incubator may not be
only just for eggs; it may also for other purposes.
Furthermore, this study used junk
materials in making this improvised incubator.
The research study entitled “THE
CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVISED INCUBATOR FOR
THE PRODUCTION OF CHICKEN EGGS.HEAT SOURCE;
MAHOGANY” focuses only in improving the survival
rate of the chicken eggs.
The study will be conducted by Mary Leen
Pearl D. Gonzales and Connie Elaine D. Gumacal.
This study will be limited only in the production of
the chicken eggs and was incubated for twentyone (21) days at the room temperature of 25-30°C.
This study was conducted in Dumangas ,Iloilo, from
July 2011 to January 2012. Two treatments will be
done namely; treatment A :Improvised Incubator
(Control) and treatment B: Commercial Incubator.
Three trials will be conducted.
