Culture device for probiotic fermentation using livestocks}

The present invention relates to a culture apparatus for probiotic fermentation for livestock, and more particularly, to provide a fermentation bag that satisfies optimal fermentation conditions by safely accepting a large amount of a culture mixed with a culture material and a spawn, It is an object to improve the quality and mass production by providing a culture apparatus that can effectively supply the oxygen required for the culture contained in the fermentation bag.

Probiotics, as opposed to antibiotics, have the function of intestinal microorganisms to help digestion, prevent digestive diseases, and have excellent effects in removing odors such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gas from barns. In particular, probiotics fed to livestock must survive and reach the intestine of the livestock, and must also function to settle in the intestine.

Currently, probiotic, which ingests beneficial microorganisms in the intestines of animals and suppresses pathogenic microorganisms, is widely used in domestic livestock farms.In the method of manufacturing such probiotics, microorganisms are fermented in liquid form and mixed with excipients and then dried. Liquid fermentation and cooji fermentation process is generally used.

Liquid fermentation and coozy fermentation is a process for producing probiotics in which enzymes and metabolites produced by microorganisms remain in culture, that is, by fermenting them into complex microbial strains that open their shells naturally. It produces chitin, chitosan, and chitooligosaccharides, which are much more economical than conventional methods of obtaining chitosan by removing and deacetylating protein, calcium and pigments with chemicals such as HCL, NaOH, and ethanol. At the same time, it is widely used as a way to solve environmental waste during processing in that crab shell can be used as a 100% feed additive.

In this conventional manufacturing process, the culture and probiotic using soybean meal, rice cake, rice bran, crab shell, etc. as raw materials are mixed in a mixing device, mixed evenly, and then a certain amount is dispersed in a plurality of culture vessels and oxygen can be spread evenly. Spread as thin and evenly as possible to accommodate. At this time, the culture vessel is formed of a structure that can be stacked in a large number of vent holes are formed on the outer surface and a rectangular rectangular box shape with an open upper surface, and stored in each culture chamber in the form of up, down, left, right. The ventilator provided in the culture chamber is periodically ventilated to supply fresh air for cultivation to perform fermentation.

However, conventionally, the structure of the culture vessel does not meet the conditions for the culture to ferment optimally, so that the constant temperature and oxygen are not properly supplied, so that the enzymes and metabolites produced by the microorganisms do not exist in the culture. There was a problem that this greatly reduced. In addition, manpower is mobilized from the work of putting the culture to the culture vessel to the storage and recovery of the culture chamber. The culture chamber is evacuated through the air vents and contaminated in the culture chamber. In particular, the culture contacts the pathogenic microorganisms in the air and reuses the recovered culture vessel, including in the culture chamber contaminated by the fungus propagated during fermentation. In order to delay the cultivation work due to various post-processing operations such as cleaning and sterilization, mass production could not be expected due to the inability to continuously operate the culture chamber for a certain period of time.

The present invention provides a fermentation bag in the form of a large-sized bag that can accommodate a larger amount of culture in a safe state. In addition to eliminating all post-production work, the company aims to reduce manpower and mass production by establishing efficient management tasks using transportation equipment from storing and retrieving this massive fermentation bag to the culture chamber. Providing a culture device that can effectively supply oxygen required for fermentation to the culture to promote the growth and activation of microorganisms in the culture, and high quality products in which the enzymes and metabolites produced by these microorganisms remain in the culture. To mass-produce.
