Description

Animal external parasite control device and control method using the same {Animal external parasite control device and control method using the same}

The present invention provides an animal ectoparasite controlling device for controlling animal ectoparasites by irradiating an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength in a region that effectively controls animal ectoparasites while promoting human or animal health, directly to an animal or irradiated to an animal kennel, and It relates to the field of providing a control method using the control device.

In general, living organisms such as lice, mites, scabies, fleas, (steel) flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc. are animal parasites that live independently in the external part of livestock and, when necessary, consume blood or by-products of livestock. These animal parasites are classified as animal ectoparasites because they consume nutrients from animals when necessary while living outside the body.

Animal ectoparasites directly inflict very serious damage to animals in the process of sucking blood from animals or ingesting by-products, and at the same time act as a medium for infecting animals with various types of pathogens.

In particular, chicken teeth and mites are ectoparasites that are very frequently present in hens. As a result of extensive control of pesticides to control chicken ectoparasites, the problem of poultry ectoparasites is a problem that must be solved in the poultry breeding industry to such an extent that it caused a worldwide pesticide egg wave in 2017 and became a global social problem.

Currently, domestic and foreign livestock farms use fipronil and Bifenthrin of pyrethroid, carbamate, organophosphorus, phenylpyrazoe, Insecticides such as formic acid and 2-tert-butyl-5-(4-tert-butylbenzylthio)-4-chloropyridazin-3(2H)-one are used as animal ectoparasite insecticides, but these insecticides are very toxic to humans. It is also fatal to animals and has the characteristic of being detected even in eggs if used in large amounts. For this reason, various studies are being conducted to replace these insecticides.

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0042606 proposes an insecticidal/acaricide composition for chicken mites using an algae extract, but this patent requires a high production cost and also the algae extract itself is a kind of insecticide. There is a limit to being harmful to the human body when detected in eggs.

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0024886 discloses a Metarhizium anisopliae JEF-214 strain having a chicken mite control effect and a composition for controlling chicken mites using the same, but Metarhizium anisopliae JEF-214 The compound secreted by the strain is a kind of insecticide, and if the compound is detected in the body of poultry or eggs, there is a limit that it is harmful to the human body.

Korean Patent No. 1020364800000 discloses a mixture containing fermented plum (Prunus mume), golden (Scutellaria baicalensis) extract, Lithospermum erythrorhizon Sieb et Zucc. extract, cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) extract, and yellow white (Phellodendron Bark). Although it is suggested as a chicken mite control agent, the production of this mixture has a limitation in that a huge cost is incurred and the chicken mite acaricide effect is insignificant.

U.S. Patent Application No. 16069447 (PCT/NL2017/050022) proposes a method of suppressing the growth of harmful mites by spraying mites that are harmless to humans and poultry, but this patent has a limitation that the acaricidal effect of poultry mites is insignificant.

US Patent No. 08733283 (PCT/GB2007/002858) proposes a method of killing harmful mites by spraying mites-eating carnivorous mites, but this patent has a limitation in that the acaricidal effect of poultry mites is insignificant.

On the other hand, (steel) flies, which cause a lot of damage to livestock, cannot be easily treated with insecticides containing compounds that are harmful to humans or livestock as active ingredients, so the so-called 'fly sticky' is used as a physical method. However, there is a limit to the physical method to catch a large number of small flies at once. Usually, both methods are used at the same time in livestock houses, but the effect is still insignificant.

As such, animal ectoparasites such as mites and (steel) flies cause enormous damage to the livestock industry, but technologies developed to control animal ectoparasites so far are toxic or ineffective. There is an urgent need to develop a technology for effectively controlling animal ectoparasites.

As described above, animal ectoparasites cause enormous damage to the livestock industry, but technology for controlling animal ectoparasites while harmless to humans or animals has not yet been developed. In particular, there is a problem that an insecticidal ingredient or acaricide ingredient that kills mites using a mixture prepared by mixing a single compound or several compounds as an active ingredient is harmful to animals or humans.

In addition, even if the origin is a natural product or the microorganism itself is used, there is a problem that the insecticidal component or the acaricidal component is also harmful to animals or humans.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to irradiate an animal with an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength in a region that effectively controls animal ectoparasites while promoting human or animal health, or by irradiating an animal breeder with , to provide an animal ectoparasite controlling device for controlling animal ectoparasites, and a controlling method using the same.

Furthermore, the ultimate object of the present invention is to effectively control animal ectoparasites using the animal ectoparasite control apparatus and the control method using the same of the present invention, thereby solving the immediate problem of the livestock industry in crisis due to the animal ectoparasite problem. At the same time, it is to provide safe livestock products to mankind.

The present inventors, as a result of numerous efforts to develop a technology for effectively controlling animal ectoparasites while being safe for humans and animals, was able to complete the present invention by revealing the following characteristics of animals.

First, amphibious animals have the characteristic of becoming healthy only when they receive sunlight or electromagnetic waves, and in particular, livestock such as poultry and reptiles are amphibious animals and have a characteristic that sunlight or electromagnetic waves greatly improves health.

Second, shady animals not only dislike sunlight or electromagnetic waves, but also weaken and die when exposed to sunlight or electromagnetic waves. In particular, ectoparasites of animals such as lice, mites, scabies, fleas, flies, and cockroaches are representative shady animals. When exposed to sunlight or electromagnetic waves for a long time, it has the characteristic of dying.

The sunlight formed during the solar fusion process is an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 100 to 1440 nm. Among the sunlight emitted from the sun, light with a shorter wavelength is absorbed in the atmosphere, and light with a wavelength of 280 to 700 nm reaches the Earth's surface.

The present inventors have studied the effect of electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 280 to 700 nm reaching the earth's surface on the positive animals and the negative animals by wavelength. As a result, attention has been paid to electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm among the above electromagnetic waves. It was confirmed that electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 400 nm play a positive role, such as inducing vitamin D synthesis and accelerating metabolic processes in bipolar animals. In particular, in humans, it even plays a role in reducing the incidence of diseases such as obesity and diabetes. In contrast, it was confirmed that electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm are fatally harmful to shady animals and thus play a negative role in debilitating and killing shady animals.

In addition, the inventors of the present invention, animal ectoparasites are a kind of shady animals, and when irradiated with sunlight (electromagnetic wave) in a wavelength range of 300 to 400 nm, the ectoparasites of the animal are killed. Accordingly, the present inventors confirmed that the animal ectoparasites were very effectively killed as a result of irradiating light in a wavelength range of 300 to 400 nm to the animal ectoparasites.

In the case of short-wavelength electromagnetic waves of 100 to 280 nm, because the energy is strong, it has a strong sterilization effect by destroying nucleic acids and DNA such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and microorganisms. It has been confirmed that the skin, eyes, and immune system are fatally detrimental.

On the other hand, long-wavelength electromagnetic waves exceeding 400 nm are not harmful to amphibians because their energy is weakened as the wavelength becomes longer, but their effect on animal ectoparasites is insignificant, so it is also confirmed that the effect of eradicating animal ectoparasites is very small. did.

For this reason, the inventor of the present invention confirmed that it is possible to control animal ectoparasites only by selecting and generating an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm, which has a good effect on positive animals but is fatally harmful to negative animals, and completed the present invention. it was done

Therefore, the present invention provides a device for periodically generating electromagnetic waves in a wavelength range of 300 to 400 nm, and when this device is used in a livestock breeder, it is of great help to the health of livestock, which is an amphibian animal, and completely kills external parasites of the animal. It provides an innovative concept animal ectoparasite control device and a control method using the same.

The animal ectoparasite control apparatus and the control method using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention exhibit the effect of effectively controlling ectoparasites of animals such as lice, mites, scabies, fleas, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc. It shows the effect of solving the current problem of the livestock industry, which is in crisis due to the ectoparasite problem.

Furthermore, the apparatus for controlling animal ectoparasites and the control method using the same according to the present invention show the effect of improving livestock breeding productivity by completely eradicating animal ectoparasites, while being beneficial to the health of the human body or animals.

In addition, the animal ectoparasite controlling device and the controlling method using the same according to the present invention control animal ectoparasites by a physical method rather than a chemical method, so that the pesticide compound used in the chemical method does not accumulate in the animal body or eggs Therefore, by providing safe livestock food to mankind, it has the effect of contributing to the health of human beings around the world.

The present inventors collected about 30 chicken teeth in order to test the killing effect of ectoparasites in animals according to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves, transferred to a laboratory, and placed on a culture dish, and then conducted an experiment. The distance between the chicken teeth and electromagnetic wave irradiation was about 15 cm, and the death of chicken teeth over time was confirmed. The standard of death of chicken teeth was when the chicken teeth were no longer moving, and the status of chicken teeth was checked after about 6 hours for each wavelength. For the accuracy of the experiment, a total of 3 experiments were performed, and Table 1 shows the average value of the experimental results.

Table 1. Extinction rate of chicken teeth after 6 hours of electromagnetic wave irradiation for each wavelength

The short-wavelength electromagnetic waves of about 290 nm or less had high energy, and all chicken teeth collected before 6 hours had passed. However, it was judged that it cannot be used in an animal ectoparasite control device because the energy is so high that it has an extremely harmful effect on the eyes and skin of positive animals as well as negative animals.

After irradiation with electromagnetic waves of 300 to 400 nm for about 6 hours, the mortality rate of chicken teeth was about 95%.

On the other hand, from the electromagnetic wave wavelength of about 410 nm or more, the energy was weakened, and the chicken lice death rate was significantly reduced, and only about 5% or less was observed.

Through the results of this experiment, it was confirmed that the wavelength of electromagnetic wave that can be used for the animal ectoparasite control device is most suitable between 300 and 400 nm.

Experimental Example 2: Experiment to prove the death of chicken mites through specific electromagnetic waves
