    1) Universal Egg Holder – One system for every type of egg<\/strong><\/b>
    \nThe LUMIA 16 egg holder represents a pioneering achievement in design and functionality, thanks to the innovation introduced by BOROTTO. This system, one of the first in the industry to allow the vertical storage of any type of egg, from quail to goose, offers extraordinary flexibility: each slot is designed to accommodate 1 medium\/large egg (e.g. hen) or up to 4 small eggs, reaching a total capacity of 64 quail eggs.
    \nImportance of Vertical Position During Incubation<\/strong><\/b>
    \nThe vertical position of eggs during artificial incubation is a crucial factor in ensuring optimal embryonic development and successful hatching. With the tip pointing downwards and the inner tube located in the obtuse pole upwards, the embryo naturally orients itself along the major axis of the egg, positioning itself with the head under the right wing and the beak facing the inner tube.
    \nThis positioning facilitates the critical phase known as \u2018internal pipping\u2019. During this phase, in the last days of incubation, the chick pierces the inner tube membrane to perform its first respiratory acts. These initial breaths are essential to activate the metabolism and accumulate the energy needed to break through the shell and emerge. Proper orientation towards the air chamber allows the chick to access the oxygen it needs to complete embryonic development and successfully initiate the hatching process.
    \nIn contrast, incubating the eggs in a horizontal position, i.e., lying on rollers or grids, as is the case in outdated and obsolete incubators, exposes the eggs to serious risks of embryo malposition. Under such conditions, the embryo may develop with its head pointing towards the tip of the egg, away from the air chamber. This error compromises the chick’s first vital breaths, blocking the hatching process and condemning it to being trapped, with often fatal results.
    \nThese systems, the legacy of old technologies, are far removed from the efficiency and safety offered by modern solutions such as the LUMIA 16, which with its vertical housing guarantees natural development, hatching success and innovation.
    \nIn addition, the unique design of this egg cage keeps the eggs separate and apart, avoiding any contact between them. This detail significantly reduces the risk of bacterial transmission and ensures controlled thermal ventilation, essential for uniform embryonic development. Inspired by the best industrial hatcheries, the system optimises space, reduces energy consumption and guarantees higher hatching rates than traditional horizontal systems.
    \nThis egg-holder system reflects BOROTTO’s commitment to creating tools of excellence to support life. With a perfect balance of advanced technology and respect for natural biological processes, the LUMIA 16 universal egg carrier confirms BOROTTO’s role as a leader in innovation and in promoting life through cutting-edge solutions.

    2) External Water Refilling System with \u2018Dust Stop\u2019 Antimicrobial Caps<\/strong><\/b>
    \nWater refilling is conveniently done through two external openings, avoiding opening the incubator and preserving the humidity level. The Dust Stop caps, enriched with silver ions, prevent contamination by bacteria and dust, ensuring a hygienic and safe environment for the eggs.
