Description

Feed composition comprising larvae powder in black soldier fly and method for producing the same}

The present invention relates to a companion animal feed composition having excellent nutritional components such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., and excellent effect of preventing skin diseases of the companion animal, and a feed manufacturing method including the same.

The number of the population raising companion animals is on a growing trend, and in the modern society, social interest in the animal rights and animal welfare of companion animals in particular is increasing. Such interest in companion animals includes efforts to improve the quality of feeding that directly affects the dog's life activities. Conventionally, food for human consumption was simply supplied to dogs.

However, in recent years, as the understanding of food and the health status of dogs has increased, it is becoming more common to supply feeds with appropriate nutritional control so as not to contain harmful ingredients to dogs.

On the other hand, feed for companion animals is greatly affected by the palatability of companion animals for feed. Even if it has excellent nutritional value, feed that cannot be consumed by companion animals due to its low palatability is difficult to meet the original purpose of nutritional enhancement.

However, companion animals have the property of not being able to control their intake by themselves, so they are likely to consume excessive amounts of feed. In addition, since economical considerations are prioritized for companion animal feed, a large amount of preservatives, pigments, food additives, etc., which are synthetic raw materials with low unit cost, are used. Accordingly, pet foods that are not sufficiently high in quality may cause diseases such as skin diseases and obesity, so caution is required.

Therefore, the demand for feed compositions for companion animals that have excellent palatability for companion animals and can be supplied at a low unit price, which excludes the use of synthetic raw materials, and that prevents diseases caused by various nutritional supply, is gradually increasing. I'm doing it.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a feed composition for companion animals excellent in nutrient components such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., and excellent effect of preventing skin diseases of companion animals, and a feed manufacturing method including the same. .

Aspects of the present invention for achieving the above object, such as larvae powder 40 to 60% by weight, blueberry powder 10 to 20% by weight, plant powder 1 to 40% by weight; And to provide a companion animal feed composition and a feed manufacturing method comprising the same; 0.1 to 5% by weight of larvae oil in Dongae and the like.

Companion animal feed composition of the present invention is rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., so as to strengthen immunity and promote digestion, and to provide excellent preventive effects against skin diseases of companion animals, including blueberry ingredients. Can be exerted.

The companion animal feed composition of the present invention may be an eco-friendly feed composition such as no antibiotics, no preservatives, no colorants, no additives, and the like. The composition comprises 40 to 60% by weight of larva powder, 10 to 20% by weight of blueberry powder, 1 to 40% by weight of plant powder, based on the total weight; And 0.1 to 5% by weight of larva oil in Dongae and the like. Such a companion animal feed composition can exert the effect of strengthening the immunity of the companion animal, promoting digestion, and preventing skin diseases.

The kind of the companion animal may be, for example, canine, feline, rodent, etc., but is not limited thereto. The feed composition may be processed into various forms, such as confectionery, bread, rice cake, cookies, jelly, etc., and is not limited in its form as long as it can be consumed by a companion animal.

The larvae of Dongae et al. are not particularly limited as long as they serve as a protein source for replacing processed meat products. Specifically, it may be a larva such as Ptecticus tenebrifer or Hermetiaillucens. The larvae of Dongae et al., in the companion animal feed composition, can exhibit the effect of lowering the production cost while implementing the content of protein and unsaturated fatty acids to an excellent degree.

The larvae of the Dongae et al. contain a large amount of protein contained in it, as well as trace nutrients necessary for animals such as calcium, and can increase immunity by reducing the occurrence of Salmonella and E. coli, promoting mental and physical development, preventing obesity, It can further realize health-promoting effects such as improving blood flow, strengthening bones, improving hair quality and activating bowel movements.

The larvae of Dongae and the like may be larvae of 15 to 18 days after birth.

If 40 to 60% by weight of the larvae powder is contained in the Dongae, etc., the protein content of the feed can be sufficiently increased.

The blueberry contains a large amount of anthocyanin components in the skin to remove waste products in blood vessels, thereby preventing the accumulation of blood vessel deposits, and the components of polyphenols and anthocyanins prevent the decomposition of elastin, a substance constituting the skin, including collagen. Therefore, it is effective against skin diseases. In addition, the blueberries contain minerals and vitamin K to prevent osteoporosis, and as they contain anticancer components, they are helpful in preventing cancer diseases.

As in the past, when blueberries are used in liquid form such as concentrate or blue, it is difficult to be used for feed. In the present invention, the blueberry is used in a powder form so that it can be easily mixed with larva powder in Dongae, etc. when preparing feed, and also, compared to the liquid form, the scent is not strong, so that the companion animal reduces discomfort in ingesting the feed. I can.

When the blueberries are mixed in less than 10% by weight, the effect of preventing skin diseases may be insignificant, and when mixed in more than 20% by weight, various side effects may occur.

The plant powder may be at least one selected from grains, vegetables, grasses, and leaves. For example, the grain may be rice, glutinous rice, barley, beans, corn, millet, millet, etc., but is not limited thereto. As an example, the grain may use the glutinous rice. Glutinous rice is not only not irritating to the stomach, so it is not irritating to the stomach, so it improves nutrient absorption, and the texture of glutinous rice makes the ingredients stick together in the process of mixing each ingredient during feed manufacturing. Can exert.

The grain may be contained in 5 to 15% by weight. When the glutinous rice is included in the above amount, stickiness and stickiness are appropriate, so that the ingredients in the feed can be more easily mixed. As a result, it can help the shape and texture of the feed.

The vegetables include leafy vegetables such as cabbage, cabbage, spinach, and garland chrysanthemum, stem vegetables such as onions, green onions, asparagus, bamboo shoots, and celery, root vegetables such as radishes, potatoes, pork potatoes, carrots and sweet potatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, It may be fruit vegetables such as watermelon, strawberry, melon, eggplant, or a mixture thereof, and is not limited thereto. For example, as the vegetables, root vegetables, specifically, pork potatoes, carrots, or a mixture thereof may be used.

The pork potato is rich in minerals such as vitamin C and potassium, which enhances immunity, promotes digestion, and helps to recover from fatigue. In addition, unlike ordinary potatoes, it has a low calorie content and a low content of carbohydrates, so it can help manage weight of companion animals.

The carrots are rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, so they help improve vision, and can prevent eye diseases, amblyopia, and night blindness. In addition, it is helpful for skin beauty and is good for promoting digestion. The dietary fiber contained in carrots is twice that of Chinese cabbage and 4 times that of spinach, and this dietary fiber is good for improving the intestinal environment and preventing visceral diseases.

The vegetables may be contained in an amount of 5 to 15% by weight. When the pork potato is included in the above content, the feed can be made to have an appropriate carbohydrate content. When the carrot is included in the above content, the effect that the dietary fiber contained in the carrot exerts is excellent, but when the content exceeds 15% by weight, the dietary fiber is consumed excessively and there is a concern of side effects such as indigestion and insomnia. There is.

The grass may be herbs such as lavender, rosemary, sage, peppermint, thyme, and chamomile. The leaves may be leaves of tea trees such as green tea. These may be contained in a small amount of 0.1 to 5% by weight without large limitation on the kind.

The oil in the Dongae et al. can provide oil to the feed to exhibit a shiny appearance, and can further improve the sensory properties such as taste and aroma of the feed. In addition, oil in Dongae et al. has a longer shelf life than other oils, so it can act as a preservative to prevent feed damage. The oil in the copper ae may be contained in an amount of 0.1% to 5% by weight.

In addition to the above ingredients, the feed composition may further include additives such as flavorings, food colors, and sugars used in the art. The feed composition may further contain physiologically active ingredients such as various vitamins and minerals, and nutritional ingredients such as unsaturated fatty acids and amino acids. The additives, physiologically active ingredients, or nutrients may be included independently of each other within the range of 0.1 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

The feed production method including the feed composition is not particularly limited. For example, obtaining a powdered larvae on Dongae et al., obtaining a mixture of larvae powder, blueberry powder, plant powder and oil on Dongae et al.; Kneading the mixture; And heat-treating and freeze-drying the molded article.

For example, the powdered larvae in Dongae etc. may be obtained by heat-treating the larvae in Dongae and then grinding. More specifically, the larvae are added to the Dongae et al. in boiling water at 80 to 100° C. to pick up the Dongae et al. floating on the water surface, and then dried and pulverized to obtain the larva powder on the Dongae et al. Blueberry powder obtained by crushing dried blueberries may be prepared, and glutinous rice, pork potatoes, and carrots may be cooked using a steamer, and then pulverized to prepare a powder form. Caterpillar oil can be prepared in Dongae, etc.

Caterpillar oil may be mixed with the blueberry powder, glutinous rice powder, pork potato powder, carrot powder and Dongae, and a small amount of vitamins and minerals may be added and stirred. Thereafter, the larva powder is added to the Dongae et al., and agitation is performed once more to obtain a mixture. Such sequential stirring may exert the effect of allowing the mixture to be more uniformly mixed.

After kneading by adding drinking water to the mixture, it can be spread out in a thin cloth form, and then added to a processing machine for 3 to 4 hours. Through the processing machine, it is possible to form a feed form having a size of about 0.2mm to 0.6mm. Thereafter, the feed may be put into a heat treatment machine to harden and heat treated at 75°C to 85°C for 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Then, the feed can be packaged by putting it in a packaging machine and manufactured in a marketable state.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail through the following examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples.

Example 1: Preparation of feed containing larva powder and blueberry powder in Dongae et al.

The larvae were put in boiling water at 80~100℃, and the larva powder was prepared on the pulverized Dongae lantern after drying. Blueberry powder (14%, 350g), glutinous rice (10%, 250g), pork potato (10%, 250g), carrot (10%, 250g), Dongae oil (1%, 25g), vitamins (3%, 75g) and minerals (1%, 25g) were stirred, and then larva powder (55%, 1280g) was added to Dongae et al. and stirred once more to obtain a mixture. The mixture was kneaded and spread out in a thin cloth form through a processing machine, and then put into a feed maker and processed into a size of 0.4 mm. Then, it was put into a heat treatment machine and heat-treated at 80° C. for 1 hour.

Comparative Example 1: Feed not containing blueberries

A feed was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that blueberries were not included.

Comparative Example 2: Feed containing a small amount (less than 10% by weight) of blueberries

A feed was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 8% by weight (200g) of blueberries was included.

Comparative Example 3: Feed containing blueberries in liquid form

A feed was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 8% by weight (200g) of blueberry concentrate was included instead of blueberry powder.

Comparative Example 4: Feed containing a small amount (less than 40% by weight) of larva powder

It was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the larvae of Dongae deungae larvae powder was included in 35% by weight (870g).

Comparative Example 5: Feed prepared by different stirring order

It was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the oil was stirred in Dongae deungae larva powder, blueberry powder, glutinous rice powder, pork potato powder, carrot powder and Dongae at once to obtain a mixture.

Comparative Example 6: Feed that does not contain oil in Dongae et al.

Feed was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Dongae et al. did not contain oil.

Comparative Example 7: Commercially available feed

<Experimental Example 1>

Investigation of feed preference

After preparing the feed prepared according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and the commercially available feed of Comparative Example 7, a certain amount was directly fed to 5 dogs (subjects 1 to 5 below), and the remaining feed Acceptance was measured by measuring the weight of. That is, the feeds of Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 to 6, and 7 were fed each of the feeds of Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 7 for 5 dogs with known feed intake amount, and then compared with the feed intake amount (Table 1) (Experiment The five dogs used in were sorted with similar age, weight, etc., and in order to unify the intake conditions of each sample feed, each sample feed was consumed 4 hours after the last feed.)

As shown in Table 1, the preference of Example 1 was higher than that of Comparative Example 7 (commercially available feed), and Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 4 also showed acceptable preference. On the other hand, Comparative Examples 3, 5 and 6 had poor preference, but Comparative Example 3 contained blueberries in a liquid form and had a strong scent, and in the case of Comparative Example 5, the texture may not be good because the mixture is not evenly mixed, Comparative Example 6 can be interpreted as a result of reducing the flavor because oil is not included in Dongae et al.

Experimental Example 2

Evaluation of skin disease improvement efficacy of companion animals

After preparing the feeds of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2, five dogs of similar age and weight and suffering from mild skin disease were selected to ingest a certain amount of each feed for 14 days, and then skin diseases (Very improvement: ◎, slight improvement: ○ No change: △, worsening: X) Intake of various medicines for Korea was temporarily stopped.

As shown in Table 2, compared to the case of ingesting Comparative Example 1, which is a feed that does not contain blueberries, it was found that when Example 1, which is a feed containing blueberries, was ingested, the effect of improving skin diseases was shown. I can. In addition, it can be seen that when Comparative Example 2, which is a feed containing a small amount of blueberries, was consumed, the effect of improving skin diseases was hardly observed.
