Infrared bulbs are an excellent choice for maintaining warmth in brooders or proofers used for chicks. They not only provide consistent heat but also emit a soft, attractive light that helps keep the chicks calm and active. Paired with a suitable holder, these bulbs are a practical solution for small-scale and large-scale chick-rearing setups. Benefits of Infrared Bulbs for Brooders Provides Consistent Warmth: Infrared heat penetrates deeply and warms the chicks effectively without overheating the environment. Helps maintain the necessary brooding temperature for chick development. Soft Light: Produces a warm, reddish glow that is calming for chicks and mimics natural warmth. Unlike harsh white light, it does not disturb their resting cycles. Energy Efficient: Infrared bulbs are designed to consume less electricity compared to traditional heating systems. Durable and Long-Lasting: Infrared bulbs have a robust build, ensuring they can withstand long hours of continuous operation. Versatility: Can also be used for other purposes like drying or warming small animals. Features of Infrared Bulbs Wattage Options: Typically available in 100W, 150W, or 250W to suit different brooding areas and environmental conditions. Color: Red or clear options; red is preferred for reduced glare and better stress management. Heat Coverage: Designed to distribute heat evenly across a specified area. Holder Specifications Heat-Resistant Material: Made of ceramic or metal to withstand high temperatures. Adjustable Positioning: Often comes with a swivel mechanism to direct heat precisely where needed. Safety Features: Includes clamps or stable bases to prevent accidents. Ventilation: Built-in ventilation to avoid overheating the bulb or the holder. Why It Makes Chick Care Better Ensures chicks stay warm and healthy, reducing stress and improving growth rates. The attractive light encourages natural activity patterns, which is vital for healthy behavior and feeding. Easy to use and maintain, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for chick rearing. Tips for Effective Use Positioning: Place the bulb 45–60 cm above the chicks to provide even warmth. Adjust the height depending on the temperature requirements (closer for more heat, higher for less). Monitoring: Use a thermometer or temperature controller (like the XM-18) to maintain the ideal temperature (32-35°C initially, reducing over time). Safety: Ensure the holder is securely mounted to prevent tipping. Regularly inspect the bulb and holder for signs of wear or damage
