Mealworm ( Tenebrio molitor ), on the other hand, is known as an immature larva of an insect named brown rice goby with a beetle neck. The wheat worms can be fed mainly as feed insects of other organisms. There are more than 100 kinds of goose breeds in the world, generally dark brown and glossy, and white after the faults are taken off. The worms that are kept as feed insects or pets are known to be native to southern United States. Common wheat worms are about 20mm to 25mm, and Super Milworm (scientific name: Zophobas morio ) is about 40mm to 50mm. Milworm is a typical insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis and is a very clean insect that eats grain and has excellent conditions as a pet. In some cases, the size of the object is increased by improving the general worm, which is sometimes called the giant worm, or the super worm in Japan.

Therefore, the present inventors have been continuing research to develop a feed that can promote growth during animal breeding and improve immunity to pathogenic bacteria.

(1) Specification test

Loss Broiler 54, an average body weight of 39g, was introduced into the broiler chickens of the Animal Habitat of Sunchon National University in the following manner.

The test specimens were divided into 3 groups of 3 treatments, 6 groups of repetition per group and 54 specimens in total.

The diets of Example 1 and Example 2 were mixed and fed on the basis of the control diets, respectively, during the breeding period.

The test diets and water were freely vegetarian, and lighting and other specification controls were carried out according to common practice.

(2) Measurement of weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion rate

Body weight was measured repeatedly from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm every week from the start of the test until the end of the test. The weight gain was calculated by subtracting body weight at the beginning of weight loss. The amount of feed intake was determined by repeating the measurement of the amount of feed after repeated weekly measurement of body weight and subtracting the remaining amount from the feed amount. The feed conversion ratio was obtained by dividing the feed intake by the weight gain. The results are shown in Table 4 below.

As shown in Table 4, when feeding the normal broiler chicks using the feed containing the general wheat-worm feed additive of Example 1 of the present invention and the feed containing the feed additive containing the Super-mill-worm of Example 2, There were no significant differences in the intake and feed conversion ratios between the control and the control.

(3) Mortality rate

The mortality rate was calculated by dividing the mortality of the broiler chickens by survival rate after raising the broiler chickens for 5 weeks. The results are shown in Table 5 below.

As shown in the above Table 5, when the feed containing the general wheat-worm feed additive of Example 1 of the present invention and the feed containing the feed additive containing the Super-mill-worm of Example 2 were used, There was no significant difference between the control group and normal control group.

(4) Analysis of weight and organ weight of broiler

The body weights were measured first by the method of Deaton et al. (1974). The weight of each meat and the weight of the organs were measured by removing the viscera after unhairing and measuring the proximal, distal, total excretory lumbar and abdominal muscles in the breast and ribs And the surrounding fat was extracted. The weight of chickens, feces, heart, liver, proximal, pancreas, cecum, kidney, small intestine, and large intestine were each weighed and weighed. The results are shown in Table 6 below.

As shown in Table 6, there was no significant difference in organ weights among the test groups.

≪ Test Example 2 >

Salmonella enteritidis (2.35 ㅧ 10 ⁷ ) and E. coli O-157 (3.70 ㅧ 10 ⁷ ) were mixed at a ratio of 1: 1 and oral administration was made to 1-day-old chicks using a 1 ml micropipette tip.

Then, Loss Broiler 54, an average body weight of 39g at 1 day of age, was exposed and raised at the broiler farm of Sunchon National University Animal Husbandry in the following manner.

The test specimens were divided into 3 groups of 3 treatments, 6 groups of repetition per group and 54 specimens in total.

The diets of Example 1 and Example 2 were mixed and fed on the basis of the control diets, respectively, during the breeding period.

The test diets and water were freely vegetarian, and lighting and other specification controls were carried out according to common practice.

After 1 week of feeding, the body weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were measured in the same manner as in Test Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 7 below and the mortality was measured and shown in Table 8 below.

As shown in Table 7, when the feed containing the common wheat-worm feed additive of Example 1 of the present invention and the feed containing the feed additive containing the Super Murum-worm of Example 2 were used, The weight gain during the week was not significantly different from the control group.

As shown in Table 8, when the broiler infected with the pathogens was fed using the feed containing the general wheat-worm feed additive of Example 1 of the present invention and the feed including the feed additive containing the Super-mill-worm of Example 2, Was significantly reduced to one - third of that of the control group fed the feed.

As described above, when the feed containing the herbicide and insect-containing feed additive of the present invention is fed to a normal animal, there is no significant difference in the amount of gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio compared with the case of feeding the general feed, And if it is fed to an animal infected with a pathogenic bacterium, the immunity against the pathogenic bacterium is greatly increased, which can greatly reduce the mortality rate and promote the growth of the animal. Thus, by reducing the mortality rate of animals, it is possible not only to increase the profits of livestock farmers who raise cattle such as poultry such as chickens and ducks, livestock such as cows and pigs, or fishermen who cultivate aquaculture fish, It is expected that even in the home where pets such as beards, monitors, geckos, reptiles, rodents and fishes are raised, it is easy to raise pets without taking any special hospital measures without the burden of the pathogen infection.
