Abstract: ABSTRACT - Temperature and humidity levels during incubation are crucial determinants of theduration of incubation. Inadequate monitoring during the incubation process extends the incubationperiod and hinders the embryonic development of the chicks. This study examines the incubation periodand optimises the temperature and humidity parameters during incubation. The chicken eggs wereplaced into an automatic incubator at temperatures of 36.5°C, 37.5°C, and 38.5°C. The relative humiditywas monitored at 50%, 55%, and 60%. The turning frequency was set at every three hours, and theeggs were automatically turned for a duration of six seconds. Finally, the incubation period wasanalysed using Altair HyperStudy software in order to obtain the ideal period for incubating a chickenegg. The exhibition demonstrated that the development of chicken embryos reached a sufficient level ofmaturity. The results showed that the optimum 38.5°C temperature was accomplished, as well as a 60%relative humidity (RH) was retained during the analysis. This resulted in an incubation period of 18 daysfor the chicken eggs. The analysis through ANOVA and RSM shown that the incubation temperatureand humidity are inversely proportional to incubation period.
