Description

Cocoon breeding automation device {Cocoon breeding automation device}

The present invention relates to a cocoon breeding automation device, and more particularly, by hatching a silkworm in a pupae state and automatically supplying food and water thereafter, as well as adjusting the temperature and humidity according to breeding conditions according to the growth state of the silkworm. It relates to a cocoon breeding automation device capable of breeding healthy cocoons.

In general, insects are used in various fields such as learning, pets, pollinators, natural enemies and environmental purification, feed, food and medicine, etc. The Food and Africulture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Edible insects, which are fast, have high feed efficiency, and have high nutrient content such as protein, vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids, are attracting attention as a solution to the future food shortage.

In Korea, in 2014, Gosae (brown mealworm larva), called mealworm, was recognized as a food ingredient for the first time. and is being distributed.

In order to breed these edible insects, management such as medium filling, feeding, stocking of insect eggs, water supply, fecal collection and discharge, observation, harvesting, and washing are necessary during the growth period of the insects.

Conventionally, for mass breeding of edible insects, a breeder directly supplies food and moisture with an insect breeding box placed on a multi-level shelf. It was necessary to repeatedly proceed with the work that had to be placed in the .

Such repetitive work inevitably requires a lot of labor, and there is a problem in that the time taken to supply food and water also increases.

On the other hand, as is known, a cocoon is a cocoon in which the larvae of the silkworm moth and the insect houseworm moth grow, and the larva of the silkworm moth, the silkworm, grows using mulberry leaves as the main food, then makes a cocoon and pupates therein. Silk, also called silk, can be produced from the created cocoon.

In addition, silkworm has a high content of essential amino acids necessary for the human body, and as an edible insect designated as an edible insect in the Republic of Korea as described above, a high economic effect can be expected in mass breeding.

However, it is impossible to cure the disease in silkworms. In general, in the case of higher animals such as humans or livestock, if they get sick, the disease can be cured by taking medicine or receiving an injection. If you catch it, it is impossible to cure it, and because it is highly contagious, there is only one way to prevent it.

In addition, when a silkworm hatches from an egg, it turns into an ant silkworm, molts 4 times for about 24 days, eats mulberry, grows, builds a cocoon, pupates, and then turns into a moth and lays eggs after 15 days. In this process, it is very important to create environmental conditions suitable for silkworm physiology so that the silkworms can grow in a comfortable environment.

On the other hand, in the case of silkworms used for food, they are usually dried silkworms for 3 days of 5 instar and are used as health functional food for lowering blood sugar. There is a problem that the value as a health functional food for lowering blood sugar is greatly reduced as the blood sugar lowering effect is also reduced at the same time.

Therefore, in order to produce good quality 5 instar and 3 days dried silkworms, it is necessary to collect the silkworms on the 3rd day of the 5th instar. In some cases, the exact time for silkworm collection is missed because labor must be intensively administered at one time, and in some farms, if mulberry leaves remain in the mulberry field to increase production, the product is increased rapidly and the quality of the product is lowered.

In particular, in the case of silkworms, as described above, when a disease occurs, it cannot be treated, so there is only a way to prevent the disease.

And looking at the temperature and humidity conditions required for breeding of silkworms, the suitable temperature for cracking silkworm eggs is 15~25℃ and the humidity is 75~80, and for silkworms (1st to 3rd instar silkworms) is 25~26℃, and the humidity is It should be as dry as possible within the range where the mulberry does not dry out, and it is preferably 75 to 80, and for large silkworms (4th to 5th instar silkworms), keep the humidity at 23~24℃ and humidity 65~75, but at least 20℃ at the 4th instar stage. It should not fall below the temperature, and when building a cocoon and at the age of 5 years, it is necessary to thoroughly prevent overhumidity and manage ventilation rather than temperature. In addition, 3 times a day is suitable for mulberry supplied as food for gakryung.

As described above, sensitive temperature and humidity control according to age is very important for silkworms, and it is important to accurately collect them on the 3rd day of the 5th instar, which is the most effective as a health functional food. The device is in great need.
