Hatchery Guidance Programme
Once the installation and technical commissioning of a new hatchery is finished, the next few months are a hectic time for the hatchery manager and his technical staff as they need to adjust to new equipment and new processes.

To guide you through this transition period, Petersime introduces a service pack so your hatchery can be fully operational within the shortest period of time. This service pack can be ordered in two versions: Hatchery Guidance Programme and Hatchery Guidance ProgrammePLUS. If you choose HGP+, a Hatchery Guidance Programme Supervisor will be assigned to you, who will remain your single point of contact during the entire programme.
1. Single-Stage Incubator Training (HGP)
-
Intensive three-day training course at the Petersime Customer Centre for the hatchery manager or his assistant, in English
- Covering a range of technical and physiological topics, including the operation of the incubator controller and the principle of Embryo-Response Incubation™
- Featuring an introduction to the comprehensive Incubation Guide, covering all machinery related issues and outlining the entire incubation process from start to finish
2. Remote supervision (HGP)
-
The hatchery manager sends Incubation Guide feedback forms to the Petersime Service Department in Belgium at regular intervals.

Based on this information, a member of the Petersime Service Department remotely supervises the project and provides recommendations to achieve better results.
