JPS63123347A - Preparation of feed for larva of beetle - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled feed stimulating the appetite of larva, having high nutrient, usable safely over a long period and suitable for the culture of a pet beetle such as KABUTOMUSHI (Allomyrina dichotoma), stag beetle, etc., by immersing humus soil produced by beetles in a solution of dichloroacetic acid and dehydrating the disinfected soil. CONSTITUTION:Human soil produced by beetles is sieved and a high-quality fraction is immersed in an aqueous solution of dichloroacetic acid and dried to obtain the objective feed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a method for producing food for pet beetles and beetle larvae.

Conventional baits and problems There has not yet been anything publicly available as bait for pet beetle larvae. Similar products include insect mats, which were generally planned and sold as rugs for insect cases, and some of them were also used as bait. Because this bait was not designed and manufactured at °C, insects were not able to get into it, and the basic defect was that the pathogens were not sterilized, which sometimes caused accidents that caused large numbers of people to become ill and die. .

I filed patent application No. 380 in March 1958! We applied for a method for producing humus for beetles. The product, beetle humus soil, is made of beetles and other parent insects or wood that rots in a natural state.
Recognizing that it is a good food for their own hide, they lay eggs in hopes of the prosperity of their descendants, and the leftovers that the hide has eaten and grown are collected, crushed, and manufactured. Therefore, it is natural that if this is fed to beetle larvae as bait, they will bite into the beetles wonderfully and grow well. The disadvantage was that because it relied on formalin casing to disinfect pathogens, there was a risk that after several days after the gas had dissipated after disinfection, the mycelium that remained hidden inside would regenerate and become active, causing harm again. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Insects, unlike higher animals, have weak resistance to diseases, and once they become infected, there is often no treatment.

Therefore, the question is how to prevent the infection. In this project, we disinfected the environment and added a large amount of chemicals to the bait to maintain its medicinal effects.

Measures to solve the problem: Silzol has been released as a disinfectant to prevent silkworm disease. At the Sericulture Experiment Station, we have been conducting various tests and providing guidance on silkworm disease in order to prevent it. I took the following method using this as a reference.

(b) Dilute dilusol 30 times with water and soak beetle humus in it.

(b) Next, it is compressed and dehydrated.

Use this as bait.

Effects I fed the food thus obtained to the larvae of beetles and staghorn beetles. The penetration was extremely good and no drug damage was observed. I consulted with a professional engineer related to silkworm cultivation to find out that it is effective in preventing insect diseases, and I am satisfied with the results.Procedural amendment April 24, 1988 1.

3. Detailed Description of the Invention Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a method for producing feed for beetles, beetles, and other beetle larvae for pets.

Problems with conventional baits There are no foods that have been publicly sold as bait for pet beetle larvae (insect mats are similar products. This is something that is placed in a breeding case as a bed for insects, and cannot be used as bait. They had little value and often became a route for the introduction of pathogens from outdoor insects, causing damage.

I applied for a method for producing humic soil for beetles in March 1980 through Patent Application No. 38018. This is done by cultivating mushrooms by planting mushroom fungi on wood, then spawning beetles in the waste water left over from the crossbars, allowing the born larvae to feed on the cold water, promoting the decay of the oval, and then separating the remaining material. The method involved pulverizing the beetle using a selective pulverizer that was devised and using it as beetle humus, or compost. Subsequent research revealed that rather than using the product as compost, it was found that productivity was significantly increased if the product was used as feed for beetle larvae. In order to do so, a new challenge has become how to disinfect this and open the door to its safe use as food for beetle larvae.

Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention The most authoritative public research institute regarding insect diseases is the Sericulture Research Institute. The following was recently announced at the Kumamoto Prefectural Sericulture Experimental Station and is being widely advised to farmers in the prefecture.

(a) A 1.1% aqueous solution of dichloroacetic acid is no less effective than a 3% aqueous formalin solution in preventing sclerosis of silkworms.

(b) Even if the same wave hits the mulberry leaves that feed on it and the insects eat it, no harm will be done to the insects. This point is particularly different from many other drugs.

As mentioned above, the biggest problem in controlling sclerosis is that when pathogens are disinfected with chemicals, although the disinfectant may become clean, the effect does not penetrate deep into the body, and after a few days, the mycelium reappears from within and becomes active, causing harm. There is a fear.

Means and Methods to Solve the Problem The beetle humus described above is sieved and the high quality part is used as feed. Make an aqueous solution of 1.196 dichloroacetic acid. The above-mentioned feed is dipped in this and allowed to penetrate into the inside for a sufficient amount of time. This is removed from the liquid and dried and dehydrated. Commercialize this as bait.

effect This bait is easily absorbed by the larvae (it is also highly nutritious).

Since it has been completely sterilized with a chemical solution and a small amount of the chemical solution remains inside, it is possible to suppress the regeneration and activation of mycelium for a considerable period of time.

Therefore, it can be safely used as feed for a fairly long period of time. Feed spoilage is also suppressed to a certain extent. Since beetles have a long larval period of about 10 months, feeds with such characteristics are particularly suitable.

that's all
