Description

Feed including brown mealworm larvae and its manufacturing method {Feed including mealworm and its manufacturing method}

The present invention relates to a feed containing brown mealworm larvae and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a companion animal feed in the form of a ring containing brown mealworm larvae, wheat bran, rice flour, houttuynia cordata extract, plum extract, and sulfur, and a manufacturing method thereof it's about

As the number of one- or two-person independent households increases due to aging, low birth rate, and divorce, the domestic companion animal market has been recording an annual growth rate of 15 to 20% since 2000, and the companion animal population has reached 10 million.

At the same time, as the perception of companion animals has changed as a member of the family living together, more and more people are generously investing in companion animals, and accordingly, the market related to companion animals is expected to continue to expand without being greatly affected by economic conditions or income unlike in the past. expected In particular, the current companion animal food market is estimated to reach 340 billion units.

On the other hand, insects inhabit widely all over the world due to their outstanding environmental adaptability, and their species diversity is also very rich. Therefore, it is also used in the manufacture of feed for companion animals.

In the past, insects were recognized as pests and avoided, but recently, many efforts have been made to recognize and utilize insects as useful biological resources. Accordingly, the competition to secure biological resources through the exploration and conservation of insect resources is becoming fiercer day by day in countries around the world.

Currently, its use as a material related to the development of antibiotics, anticancer substances, anti-inflammatory drugs and circulatory disease treatments is highly expected, and research on efficacy and active ingredient analysis has recently been in the spotlight.

For example, many insect resources such as silkworms, cordyceps, half moths, baekgangjam, slugs, earthworms, leeches, centipedes, scorpions, and spiders are being used for the treatment of diseases in the industry and mankind.

On the other hand, recently, efforts have been made to search for useful substances from insects and to use them as resources. In particular, insects have a very efficient and economical advantage in terms of resource use due to the characteristics of short generations and small objects.

In addition, the reason why insects have been able to prosper overwhelmingly compared to other organisms from the Paleozoic Era to now is that they have low water loss and have a hard and light body structure, which not only has high activity energy efficiency, but also competition between larvae and adults due to different feeding requirements. It has a strong self-defense ability against external environments such as low temperature, high temperature, dryness, physical obstacles, and external invading pathogens through dormancy and metamorphosis.

These insects are high in protein, rich in minerals, essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, etc., and most of the fat is made up of water-soluble fat, so their use in companion animal feed is increasing. (Mealworm, Gosoae) are mainly used.

Consumption trends of companion animal foods can be largely divided into natural raw materials and functional pursuits. The natural raw material trend means that as we start to raise companion animals like family, we tend to find food that uses organic or human-friendly raw materials for our pets, just like humans. The tendency to pursue functionality means pursuing functional products that prevent companion animal diseases in order to grow companion animals healthy for a long time.

In the present invention, brown mealworm (mealworm, high love) means an insect belonging to the arthropod insect class Coleoptera mealworm family (mealworm beetle). The body of the brown mealworm is a dark brown insect with a length of about 15 mm, and is also called the brown rice mealworm. Adults usually lay eggs in grains, which hatch after one to two weeks, and hatched larvae are called mealworms. The larva becomes a pupa through molting 9 to 20 times and then fables into an adult insect, which is nocturnal and is distributed worldwide.

Mealworms are farmed in large quantities as food for birds and hedgehogs, and are also bred for pets because they are clean. In addition, it is highly valued as a food raw material due to its high protein and fat content and is inexpensive, so it is in the spotlight as a future food resource.

The brown mealworm larvae according to the present invention are grown by feeding at least one selected from the group consisting of bran, hwangchil, bean curd, lettuce, onion, radish, and cabbage, and unlike brown mealworms raised by feeding general feed, the growth of brown mealworms is Not only does it make the skin shiny, but it also has a high protein content and contains active ingredients such as vitamin C, calcium, and saponin, so when it is prepared as feed, the immunity of companion animals is enhanced and it is remarkably effective in improving inflammatory diseases such as skin diseases. can have

In addition, the brown mealworm larvae according to the present invention can help the growth of the brown mealworm larvae by breeding in a breeding farm with walls made of eco-friendly ocher bricks to have temperature and humidity conditions suitable for breeding.

In step S1 of the present invention, the brown larvae are harvested when a period of about 110 to 130 days has elapsed after hatching.

The brown mealworm larvae are preferably 6 to 9 instars in size, but more preferably 7 to 8 instars in size.

The brown mealworm larvae are starved for 2 to 3 days after harvesting, and then washed after removing the feces contained in the body.

The washed brown mealworm larvae are dried and powdered.

In the step S1, it is preferable to dry the brown geese by a freeze-drying method, a natural drying method, or a hot air at 40 to 60 ° C., but it is not limited thereto.

At this time, when the hot air condition is less than 40 ° C, drying is not performed properly, and when it exceeds 60 ° C, the water content is low and the drying occurs.

In addition, any method of powdering in the step S1 is possible as long as it is a conventional method for producing powder.

In step S2, 200 to 300 parts by weight of brown meal powder, 150 to 250 parts by weight of wheat bran, 150 to 250 parts by weight of rice flour, 5 to 15 parts by weight of houttuynia cordata extract, 5 to 15 parts by weight of plum extract, 5 to 15 parts by weight of sulfur, 5 to 15 parts by weight of phosphorus, 3 to 9 parts by weight of potassium, 5 to 15 parts by weight of calcium, and preferably 1 to 5 parts by weight of sodium.

In the feed composition, when the water content is 15% or more of the total, there is a problem that it can be easily contaminated due to moisture, so it is preferable that the water content is less than 15%.

The Eoseongcho (Houttuynia cordata) is a herb called medicinal wheat and was named Eoseongcho because it smells fishy from the leaves. Representative effects of Eoseongcho, which boasts vigorous fertility like weeds, include detoxification (antibacterial) and anti-inflammatory action (sterilization). It is said to remove ingested toxic substances, poisons and bacterial toxins in the body, and it is said to have anti-inflammatory properties, so it can be eaten or applied. So, as a disinfectant in farming, pigs and chickens eat Hoseongcho around them and also play a role in sterilization.

It is said that quercitrin, which is abundant in Houttuynia cordata, expands capillaries, clears the skin, and helps relieve skin troubles. That's why it is a good food material for people with atopy. If you boil Eoseongcho and mix it with water to take a bath, it helps blood circulation.

In addition, it has excellent antipyretic and drainage effects, so it is used for coughing due to lung abscess, vomiting of pus, pneumonia, acute and chronic bronchitis, enteritis, urinary tract infections, boils, and when a lot of fever and inability to urinate.

By including the extract of the above Eoseongcho, it can help improve the skin disease of companion animals.

The eoseongcho extract is concentrated eoseongcho and can be used as long as it is concentrated by a conventional concentration method.

If the amount of rice flour is less than 150 parts by weight, the water, brown meal powder, eoseongcho, and rice flour dough are hard and there is a problem in preparing them in a ring shape, and if the amount of rice flour exceeds 250 parts by weight, the water , brown mealworm powder, houttuynia cordata, and rice flour dough are kneaded, which also causes problems in producing them in a ring form.

Minerals such as sulfur, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, etc. can be all in a form that can be normally included, and in particular, it is preferable that the main material of calcium is a shell.

In step S3, the dough obtained in step S2 may be molded into a noodle shape in an extruder and then cut into a ring shape.

The step S4 is preferably dried by a freeze-drying method, a natural drying method, or hot air at 40 to 60 ° C.

At this time, when the hot air condition is less than 40 ° C, drying is not performed properly, and when it exceeds 60 ° C, the water content is low and the drying occurs.

In addition, the present invention provides a feed containing brown goose prepared by the above manufacturing method.

The feed containing the brown mealworm larvae prepared according to the present invention can prevent or reduce dietary allergies of companion animals by including the brown mealworm larvae as a protein source. For example, it is possible to improve the companion animal's quality of life by improving associated symptoms such as itching, dermatitis, skin redness, edema, and transepidermal water evaporation.

Example 1 Preparation of brown mealworm powder

Brown mealworm larvae fed with wheat bran, hwangchil, bean curd, lettuce, onion, radish and cabbage mixture for 120 days after hatching of brown mealworm were harvested when they were 7 years old.

The harvested larvae were starved for 3 days to remove feces contained in the body and washed. The washed brown mealworm was dried with hot air at 50 ° C, and then pulverized to prepare a powder.

Example 2 Preparation of brown mealworm feed

250 parts by weight of brown mealworm larvae powder prepared in Example 1, 100 parts by weight of water, 200 parts by weight of wheat bran, 200 parts by weight of rice flour, 10 parts by weight of houttuynia cordata extract, 10 parts by weight of plum extract, 10 parts by weight of sulfur, 10 parts by weight of phosphorus 6 parts by weight of potassium, 10 parts by weight of calcium, and 3 parts by weight of sodium were mixed and kneaded.

The dough was put into an extruder and molded into a noodle shape, then cut and molded into a ring shape.

The round mold was dried in hot air at 50 ° C to prepare a feed including brown gourd.

Evaluation Example 1 Skin disease improvement evaluation

A companion dog with a skin disease was used as the test subject, and the experimental subject A (3 animals) was fed the brown mealworm feed prepared in Example 2, and the comparison subject B (3 animals) was fed a normal feed.

(1) Transepidermal water loss (TEWL, transepidermal water loss)

TEWL is a method of measuring the amount of water evaporated through the skin and is an internationally recognized evaluation method as an index that indirectly indicates malfunction due to a lack of epidermal lipid layer.

The higher the value, the more severe the degree of dysfunction of the skin lipid layer.

Subject A
(Brown mealworm feed) Week 0 Week 4 Comparison B
(general fodder) Week 0 Week 4 One 14.4 13.6 One 14.2 14.1 2 14.1 13.2 2 14.3 14.4 3 11.6 10.0 3 12.2 12.5 average 13.4 12.3 average 13.6 13.7

As can be seen in Table 1, the effect of reducing the amount of transepidermal water evaporation of the subject A fed with the feed containing the brown meal prepared in Example 2 was shown.

This means that the ingredients in the feed supplement the lipid layer of the skin, or restore the function of the lipid layer while partially reducing skin inflammation and itching.

(2) Pruritus Visual Analogue Scale (PVAS)

PVAS is an internationally recognized evaluation method for evaluating patients' pruritus.

It was measured in the range of 0 to 10 points as the degree of itching subjectively evaluated by the dog's guardian according to the above evaluation method, and was evaluated as not scratching (0 points) to extremely scratching (10 points).

Subject A
(Brown mealworm feed) Week 0 Week 4 Comparison B
(general fodder) Week 0 Week 4 One 4 3 One 3 3 2 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 3 3 3 average 3.3 2.3 average 2.7 2.7

As can be seen in Table 2 above, a decrease in pruritus was observed in test subject A who fed the brown gourd feed prepared in Example 2, but there was no change in pruritus in comparison subject B.

(3) Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index (CADESI)-04

CADESI is an internationally recognized evaluation method that clinically evaluates the skin conditions in canine atopic dermatitis patients.

The overall condition of the skin, including redness, lichenification, hair loss, and self-injury lesions, was quantified and measured in the range of 0 to 180 points, and the higher the score, the worse the skin condition.

Specifically, for 3 items [erythema, lichenification, excoriation/alopecia] in 20 skin areas, grade 4 [asymptomatic (0 points), weak (1 point), moderate (2 points), severe (3 points)] were added.

A score ranges from a minimum of 0 (no symptoms) to a maximum of 180 (severe symptoms in all items).

Subject A
(Brown mealworm feed) Week 0 Week 4 Comparison B
(general fodder) Week 0 Week 4 One 49 24 One 46 37 2 40 35 2 41 42 3 35 30 3 38 40 average 41.3 29.7 average 41.7 39.7

As can be seen in Table 3, in the case of subject A fed the brown mealworm feed prepared in Example 2, a decrease in skin lesions was observed, but in the case of subject B, only one animal showed improvement, and two animals showed some increase From this, it was found that the improvement of skin lesions was remarkable when feeding brown gourd feed.
