Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a barley sprout culturing apparatus and a barley sprout culturing method,

The present invention relates to a barley cultivation apparatus and a cultivation method thereof, which comprises a barley cultivation apparatus and a cultivation method thereof, which are capable of automatically cultivating barley barley, .

Generally, the bud of barley refers to a young plant that grows about 15cm from a barley with buds. Generally, the barley is called water for about a day. Then the water is drained and the barley is sown on a plastic basket or styrofoam of appropriate size, It is covered with paper until it buds, and when it shoots it removes it and maintains moisture, and when it becomes l5cm past 7-10 days, it uses it.

It is known that the seed barley contains vegetable fiber, carotene and vitamin C in much higher content than other vegetables and fruits. In addition, from the viewpoint of pharmacological activity, it is known that the bud barley has effects of treating hypertension, lowering cholesterol, preventing constipation, preventing arteriosclerosis, antioxidant activity, preventing aging, preventing osteoporosis, improving insomnia and preventing anemia.

Therefore, the bud of barberry is not only an interest as a health functional raw material crop, but also has been evaluated as a livestock feed.

More specifically, the bud barley is rich in nutrients and minerals, and has a high digestion and absorption rate, which is superior to the grain feed. The antioxidant ingredient contained in the barley barley heals the disease by self-healing the body of the livestock, To prevent the abuse of antibiotics, and to support healthy cattle breeding that can withstand animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease.

However, when the above-mentioned seed barley is cultivated using soil or soil substitute, there is a problem that productivity and labor are consumed until much time and labor is consumed to cultivate the livestock.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it is preferable to cultivate the barley seedlings using hydroponic cultivation. However, the hydroponic cultivation facility requires a large area of the plant, and thus, the initial facility cost and the management cost are consumed.
