Hatchery

The hatchery is the place where the eggs (from our suppliers) are incubated. This important phase of breeding, which lasts ~ 15 days, requires very strict hygiene conditions. The use of dechlorinated and UV disinfected city water can eliminate or reduce the pressure of pathogens and increase the reliability and repeatability of the results
