Contact Incubation
Since initial field trials in 2000 Brinsea’s patented Contact Incubation Technology has established itself as a real step forward in incubation.
Eggs are warmed by contact with an artificial skin, rather than being surrounded by warm air, and the result is much stronger and faster development of the embryo in early stages of incubation. Many breeders of exotic, rare and valuable species across the world have switched to CIT.

No compromise laboratory grade egg incubators
for the most demanding applications
THE CONTAQ Z7 RAPTOR
This 3rd generation contact incubator provides optimum conditions for the full incubation period with improved control and reliability.
Leading raptor breeders have used Brinsea’s contact incubators like the X8 and Z6 for the initial 10 days of incubation with excellent results before moving eggs to conventional forced air incubators. The new Z7 Raptor provides optimum conditions for the full incubation period with improved control and reliability.
'Brinsea’s Contact Incubators have been my choice for breeding falcons for many years and the Z7 represents a significant step forward in this technology'.Martyn Paterson, Senior Aviculturalist and Falcon breeder
