Description

[0001] Edible Insect Breeding System and a Breeding Method Thereof [

The present invention relates to an edible insect breeding system and a breeding method using the same, and more particularly, to a breeding method for breeding crickets in a breeding room, and a breeding cricket to be supplied as a resource source of livestock or aquaculture And an insect breeding system for breeding method using the same and a breeding method method using the same.

In general, crickets belonging to the grasshopper class cricket are crustacean insects, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, and are rich in chitosan. They are the only varieties that can be reared as feed insects in the world .

The above-mentioned omega-3 fatty acid is an essential fatty acid having a double bond at the third carbon from the end of the carbon side chain among the unsaturated fatty acids. The essential fatty acid is a constituent of cellular tissues and promotes metabolism of the body Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to prevent cholesterol-lowering effects of various kinds of cardiovascular diseases, antitumor effect and prevention of lowering of learning ability, as well as nutrients essential for body growth and brain development.

Conventionally, the breeding room of cricket has a problem in that the inside temperature is kept at 28 ~ 30 ℃ higher than the room temperature and the inside is closed and the ventilation is poor.

In addition, there is a disadvantage in that the work efficiency is lowered in a high-temperature and high-humidity working environment.

The collection mat 5 is suitably formed of a vinyl sheet, and is formed on the bottom and side surfaces and exposed to the outside by a predetermined length to cover the outer side surface.

As shown in FIG. 5, the collecting mat 5 is constructed by embedding a clamping band 52 at an end portion thereof so that the collecting band 52 is tightened when bundled, thereby preventing the cricket from being leaked, .

Alternatively, the collecting mat 5 according to another example may be formed such that one end of the collecting mat 5 is protruded from the box body 22 to a longer length so that the protruding portion 53 is used as a discharge passage So that it can be utilized.

On the other hand, the box body 22 includes a hermetic structure 62 in which a plurality of the box bodies 22 are stacked and a space is formed therein; A water supply member (64) containing an appropriate amount of water to provide moisture to the insect; A water spraying part 66 formed on the upper part and spraying moisture in a mist form; A quartz tube heater 67 capable of heating internal air; A light lamp (672) for lighting and irradiating light; An anion generator 674 for generating negative ions; An exhaust port 675 for exhausting the polluted air; A temperature sensor 68 and a moisture sensor 69 formed on the side wall, and a control unit.

The hermetic structure 62 is formed in a substantially hexahedral shape, and a space is formed therein, and openings are formed at both ends to communicate with the internal space.

Thus, the shrubs are provided so that the crickets can live inside the hermetic structure 62.

The water supply member 64 is formed on or in the interior of the hermetic structure 62.

Preferably, the water supply member 64 is made of a synthetic resin material (aka oasis) having a plurality of micropores.

Therefore, the cricket can take in water in the water supply member 64 and induce eggs to be produced therein.

The water spraying unit 66 includes a main supply pipe 661 and a nozzle 662 formed in the main supply pipe 661 and formed with pores.

As shown in Fig. 7, a nozzle 662 is formed on the upper part of the water supply member 64. [

8, the water spray unit 66 'according to another embodiment includes a main supply pipe 661 and a nozzle 662 formed in the main supply pipe 661 and having pores formed therein, A branch pipe 663 branching from the main supply pipe 661 and formed on the side surface of the hermetic structure 62 and a nozzle 662 formed in the branch pipe 663 and formed in the interior of the hermetic structure 62 And is configured to supply moisture to the water supply member 64. [

Meanwhile, the processing chamber 300 is provided with an incubator 310 for incubating eggs, a hot water supply device 330 supplying water to the insects of the feeding chamber 200, a washing machine 320 for washing the harvested insects to be processed, And a drying unit 340 for drying the laundry.

Meanwhile, a breeding method using the edible insect breeding system described above will be described as follows.

9, in the breeding method using the edible insect breeding system, the mat 5 specified in the breeding box 2 is laid, and the temperature sensor 68 and the moisture sensor 69 are mounted for each breeding box (S101) for automatically adjusting the supply of temperature, humidity, and moisture;

The water supply member 64 is placed in the breeding box 2 and the scattered water supply member 64 is moved to the incubator 310 for incubation and the larvae hatched in the incubator 310 (S102) of feeding the feed to the breeding box (2) and growing it for 5 days;

(S103) in which the food and water are supplied to the breeding box (2), the light is turned on for 24 hours so that there is no sleeping state and the adult is grown for 39 days;

Stopping the feed for 24 hours, discharging the excreta of the intestine neatly, allowing the adult to die, and then putting the adult in the washer 320 and washing (Step S104);

Step 5 (S105) in which the washed adult is placed in the dryer 340 and dried;

And a sixth step (S106) of packing and delivering processed adults.

In the second step (S102), when the larva is grown in the incubator 310 for 5 days or less, the survival rate of the larva decreases in the breeding box, and the survival rate decreases in the incubator 310 when the larva is grown for 5 days or more.

The third step (S103) can grow the adult to an optimum size for 39 days.

In the fourth step (S104), it is at least 24 hours. If it is more than 24 hours, corruption of the adult body may be worried.

The fourth step (S104) is performed twice in cold water and three times in lukewarm water.

Therefore, by growing the seedlings in a no-sleep state without water, the time required for growing the seedlings can be shortened and mass production becomes possible.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
