Incubator
Kashmiri boy creates world’s cheapest incubator
Srinagar: A 16-year-old boy in Jammu and Kashmir has left the country stunned by creating a portable egg incubator for the poultry sector.
This machine is considered as the world's cheapest egg incubator.
Gowhar Ahmad Tantray of Marhama thought about reviving the project after he completed 10th standard.
“I was supported by my school. They ensured an uninterrupted power supply so that I can maintain the temperature to hatch the eggs. I utilized the knowledge which I learned during my course. Nearly all of the eggs were hatched in the incubator, which means my innovation is successful,” Tantray told The Kashmir Monitor.
The incubator, according to Tantray, can hatch almost 400 eggs at a time.
“We have incubators available in the market but their price ranges from Rs 50,000 to 80,000 and above. I created the cheapest. My Incubator would cost just Rs 3,000,” he said.
He said the machine will soon be available in the market.
“I am in the process to manufacture it on a mass scale so that the poultry industry is benefited. Right now, I am busy making enough incubators so that they can be marketed and sold to the customers in all the districts of the valley,” he said.
