The vast majority of modern commercial hatcheries operate multi-stage incubators (setters).
Operational Principle: Eggs of different embryonic development ages (usually 3 to 6 distinct age batches) are set simultaneously inside the same setter cabinet.
Thermal Balance: Developing older embryos ($\gt 10\text{--}12\text{ days}$) produce substantial exothermic metabolic heat, which is utilized by the cabinet's forced-draft airflow to warm newly set, endothermic cold eggs, saving energy and maintaining uniform internal temperatures.
Correct option: (2) Multi stage

Maximum permissible level of ammonia in poultry house is
Prebiotics: Non-digestible carbohydrate oligosaccharides that selectively stimulate the growth and metabolic activity of beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus).
Common prebiotic sources include chicory (inulin/FOS), yeast cell walls (MOS), cello-oligosaccharides, and plant tannins.
Aspergillus species: Fungi (Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae) are sources of exogenous feed enzymes (xylanase, phytase) or direct-fed microbials, not prebiotics.
Correct option: (4) Aspergillus sps
