Beschreibung Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Behandeln von Futtermittel. The present invention relates to a device and a method for treating animal feed.
Pflanzen sind in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung regelmäßig Angriffen von verschiedenen Fressfeinden und Mikroorganismen ausgesetzt. Dabei können insbesondere Mikroorganismen An¬ griffsstoffe wie etwa bestimmte Enzyme produzieren, welche das Pflanzenmaterial anzugreifen vermögen. Derartige An¬ griffsstoffe können insbesondere eine Aufspaltung von Pflanzenmaterial erzwingen, beispielsweise durch eine Hyd- rolyse. Um sich gegen derartige Angriffe zu schützen, haben viele Pflanzen Abwehrstoffe oder Frassgifte entwickelt. Derartige Abwehrstoffe sind häufig derart ausgebildet, dass sie über Andockstellen verfügen, an welche die Angriffsstoffe oder Enzyme bevorzugt andocken, so dass sie blockiert werden und keinen Angriff auf das eigentliche Pflanzenmaterial mehr durchzuführen vermögen. Soll Pflanzenmaterial als Futtermittel für Nutztiere oder Haustiere verwendet werden, können derartige Abwehrstoffe den Ver- dauungsprozess bei Tieren beeinträchtigen. So weist bei- spielsweise die Magenflora der meisten Tiere eine Vielzahl von Mikroorganismen auf, die bei der Verdauung mithelfen und ähnliche oder gleiche Enzyme produzieren, wie dieje¬ nigen, gegen welche die Abwehrstoffe vorgesehen sind. Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Einrichtung und ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, welche Futtermittel derart zu behandeln vermögen, dass eine verbesserte Verdaulichkeit erreicht wird. Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Einrichtung und dem Verfahren gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen erreicht. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen und Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Im Rahmen dieser Beschreibung kann ein Futtermittel insbesondere ein pflanzliches Futtermittel sein und/oder Pflanzen und/oder pflanzliches Material umfassen, insbe¬ sondere Eiweißpflanzen und/oder pflanzliches Material da¬ raus. Futtermittel kann eine Mischung verschiedener Sub- stanzen, Pflanzen und/oder Materialien umfassen, insbesondere solche pflanzlicher Art. Futtermittel kann allgemein dazu vorgesehen sein, Tieren, insbesondere Nutztieren und/oder Haustieren, zur Verfütterung bereitgestellt zu werden. Als Futtermittel können auch Materialien angesehen werden, die erst nach einer noch durchzuführenden Behandlung zur Verfütterung vorgesehen sind, und/oder die unbehandelt und/oder behandelt und/oder vermischt zur Verfüt¬ terung vorgesehen sind. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Futtermittel mit anderen Materialien gemischt wird und/o- der einer Nachbehandlung unterzogen wird, bevor es den Tieren bereitgestellt wird. Plants are regularly exposed to attacks from various predators and microorganisms in their natural habitat. In this case, microorganisms may in particular produce at ¬ handle materials, such as certain enzymes which are able to attack the plant material. Such substances can handle at ¬ particular force a decomposition of plant material, for example by a hy- rolyse. To protect against such attacks, many plants have developed antibodies or poisons. Such antibodies are often designed in such a way that they have docking sites to which the target substances or enzymes preferentially dock, so that they are blocked and can no longer carry out any attack on the actual plant material. If plant material is to be used as feed for livestock or domestic animals, such antibodies can impair the digestion process in animals. Thus examples has play, the stomach flora of most animals a variety of microorganisms, which help in the digestion and produce the same or similar enzymes, such Dieje ¬ Nigen against which the repellents are provided.

Dadurch werden die Futter¬ mittelqualität und die Verdaulichkeit des Futtermittels für Tiere erhöht. Es können auch Materialien als Futtermittel erschlossen werden, die üblicherweise aufgrund ih¬ rer Unverdaulichkeit nicht verfüttert werden. Das Futter¬ mittel kann allgemein pflanzliche Materialien unterschied- licher Art umfassen, die zur Verfütterung an Tiere vorgesehen sind. Es ist vorstellbar, dass das Futtermittel als organische Trockenmasse und/oder in Flüssigkeit aufgenom¬ men und/oder angefeuchtet bereitgestellt ist.

There may be a physical interruption or obstruction of the response, such as by radiation with radio waves and / or microwaves.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zum Behandeln von Futtermittel, insbesondere mit einer hierin beschrie¬ benen Einrichtung. Das Verfahren umfasst das Bereitstellen einer Mischung, welche Wasser und zu behandelndes Futter- mittel umfasst, in einem Hydrolysebehälter, sowie das Durchführen einer Hydrolysereaktion der Mischung im Hydrolysebehälter. Das Wasser und das Futtermittel können bereits als Mischung zugeführt werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist vorstellbar, dass Wasser und Futtermittel je- weils getrennt eingeführt werden. Dabei kann das Futter¬ mittel bereits vorbefeuchtet sein und/oder als organisches Festmaterial zugeführt werden. Die Hydrolysereaktion kann durch geeignete Mikroorganismen innerhalb der Mischung und/oder durch zusätzlich zugeführte Mikroorganismen durchgeführt werden. Der Mischung und/oder dem Wasser und/oder dem zu behandelnden Futtermittel kann ein Anfüt- terungsmittel zugeführt werden, insbesondere bei und/oder vor Beginn der Hydrolysereaktion. Das Anfütterungsmittel kann wie oben beschrieben ausgebildet sein, und etwa ein Zucker sein. The invention further relates to a method for treating animal feed, in particular with a beschrie herein ¬ surrounded device. The method comprises providing a mixture comprising water and feed to be treated in a hydrolysis container, and the Performing a hydrolysis reaction of the mixture in the hydrolysis tank. The water and the feed can already be supplied as a mixture. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that water and feed are introduced separately. In this case, the feed ¬ medium may already be pre-moistened and / or fed as organic solid material. The hydrolysis reaction may be carried out by suitable microorganisms within the mixture and / or by additional microorganisms. A feed may be added to the mixture and / or the water and / or the feed to be treated, in particular at and / or before the start of the hydrolysis reaction. The anvil may be formed as described above, and may be a sugar.
Die Hydrolysereaktion kann überwacht werden, etwa durch eine hierin beschriebene Sensoreinrichtung. Dies ermög¬ licht eine Steuerung und insbesondere ein Abbrechen der Hydrolysereaktion zu einem geeigneten Zeitpunkt, etwa bei Einsetzen und/oder unerwünscht hohen Reaktionsrate einer die Produkte der Hydrolysereaktion umwandelnden Phase wie einer Acidogenesephase . Beispielsweise kann die Reaktion im Hydrolysebehälter abhängig vom Einsetzen einer Acidogenesephase und/oder Säurebildungsphase beendet werden. Dazu kann eine Sensorein¬ richtung und/oder die Steuereinrichtung dazu ausgebildet sein, das Einsetzen und/oder Erreichen einer vorbestimmten Reaktionsrate einer Acidogenesephase und/oder Säurebil¬ dungsphase zu erkennen und/oder bei Überschreiten eines bestimmten Säureanteils und/oder bei einer Änderung des Säureanteils und/oder des Säuregehalts und/oder der Säu¬ rekonzentration insbesondere mindestens einer bestimmten, während einer Acidogenese- und/oder Säurebildungsphase hergestellten Säure, zu erkennen und die Hydrolysereaktion entsprechend anzuhalten. Dazu kann die Sensoreinrichtung Sensorsignale von der Sensoreinrichtung erfassen und/oder verwenden . Allgemein kann der Hydrolysebehälter und/oder die Einrichtung zum Behandeln von Futtermittel als separates Modul ausgebildet sein, etwa innerhalb eines Containers. Es ist vorstellbar, dass ein Reaktorbehälter, insbesondere ein separater Behälter eines Biogasreaktors, in welchen sonst die Hydrolyse und die Acidogenese der Biogaserzeugung stattfinden, bevor das Substrat in einen zweiten Reaktor zur Erzeugung von Methan umgefüllt wird, während einer Stillstandszeit, während der Biogasreaktor nicht zur Pro¬ duktion von Biogas verwendet wird, als Hydrolysebehälter für die Behandlung von Futtermittel eingesetzt wird. Ein hoher Wasseranteil der Mischung aus Wasser und Futtermit¬ tel gibt den Mikroorganismen der Hydrolyse günstige Umge¬ bungsbedingungen, so dass diese sich leicht vermehren können. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Futtermittel vor Zuführung zur Mischung und/oder in den Hydrolysebehälter zerkleinert wird, um eine möglichst große Angriffsoberflä¬ che für die Mikroorganismen zu bieten. Das beschriebene Verfahren kann je nach Wasseranteil, Futtermittelart und Behältervolumen innerhalb von Stunden oder eines oder we- niger Tage durchgeführt werden. The hydrolysis reaction may be monitored, such as by a sensor device described herein. This allows light ¬ a controller and particularly a cancel the hydrolysis reaction at an appropriate time, such as insertion and / or undesirably high reaction rate of the products of the hydrolysis reaction converting phase as a Acidogenesephase. For example, the reaction in the hydrolysis vessel may be terminated depending on the onset of an acidogenesis phase and / or acidification phase. This can be arranged to a Sensorein ¬ direction and / or the control device to detect the insertion and / or reaching a predetermined reaction rate of a Acidogenesephase and / or Säurebil ¬ making phase and / or upon exceeding a certain acid component and / or a change of the acid moiety and / or the acid content and / or the säu ¬ reconcentration in particular, to identify at least one specific, produced during a Acidogenese- and / or acid-production phase acid and the hydrolysis reaction stop accordingly. For this purpose, the sensor device can detect and / or use sensor signals from the sensor device. In general, the hydrolysis container and / or the device for treating feed can be designed as a separate module, for example within a container. It is conceivable that a reactor vessel, in particular a separate vessel of a biogas reactor, in which otherwise the hydrolysis and acidogenesis of biogas production take place before the substrate is transferred to a second reactor for producing methane, during a downtime, while the biogas reactor not to Pro ¬ production of biogas is used as hydrolysis tank for the treatment of feed is used. A high water content of the mixture of water and Futtermit ¬ tel are favorable Conversely ¬ mental conditions the microorganisms hydrolysis, so that they can easily be multiplied. It can be provided that the feed is crushed before allocation to the mixture and / or in the hydrolysis tank to provide the greatest possible Angriffsoberflä ¬ che for the microorganisms. The process described can be carried out within hours or one or several days, depending on the proportion of water, type of feed and container volume.

Fig. 2 schematisch ein Ablaufdiagramm zum Behandeln von Futtermittel. Fig.l zeigt eine Einrichtung zum Behandeln von Futtermittel 10. Die Einrichtung 10 umfasst einen Hydrolysebehälter 12, welcher als Hydrolysereaktor ausgebildet sein kann. Über eine Wasserzufuhreinrichtung 14 und eine Futtermit- telzufuhreinrichtung 15 kann dem Hydrolysebehälter 12 jeweils Wasser und/oder Futtermittel zugeführt werden, etwa aus geeigneten Vorratsbehältern. Alternativ kann eine Zufuhreinrichtung für eine Wasser/Futtermittel-Mischung vorgesehen sein. Über eine Mischungsabfuhreinrichtung 16 kann die Mischung aus dem Hydrolysebehälter 12 abgelassen werden. Die Zufuhreinrichtungen 14, 15 und die Abfuhreinrichtung 16 können jeweils geeignete Leitungen, Ventile und/o¬ der Steuereinrichtungen aufweisen, um die gewünschte Zufuhr und Abfuhr von Material zu ermöglichen. Insbesondere können die Zufuhreinrichtungen 14, 15 und/oder die Abführeinrichtung 16 durch eine Steuereinrichtung 22 der Einrichtung 10 ansteuerbar sein. Im Hydrolysebehälter 12 ist eine Rühreinrichtung 18 vorgesehen, welche sich in diesem Beispiel zu drehen vermag, um die Mischung innerhalb des Hydrolysebehälters 12 mittels Rührflügeln zu bewegen und/oder zu mischen. Eine Sensoreinrichtung 20 ist dazu vorgesehen, die Mischung und/oder Hydrolysereaktion innerhalb des Hydrolysebehälters 12 zu überwachen. Die Sen¬ soreinrichtung kann insbesondere ein oder mehrere Sensoren aufweisen, die zur Überwachung eines Säuregehalts und/oder des zeitlichen Verlaufs eines Säuregehalts, insbesondere des Gehalts einer bestimmten Säureart wie Essigsäure, aus¬ gebildet sind und die entsprechende Sensorsignale an die Steuereinrichtung 22 zu übertragen vermögen. Ferner um- fasst die Einrichtung 10 eine Anfütterungseinrichtung 24, welche an einen Anfütterungsmittelvorrat 26 angeschlossen sein kann. Über die Anfütterungseinrichtung 24 ist ein Anfütterungsmittel wie Zucker und/oder ein zuckerhaltiges Material in den Hydrolysebehälter 12 einführbar, insbeson- dere in die Wasser/Futtermittel-Mischung innerhalb des Hydrolysebehälters 12. Die Anfütterungseinrichtung 24 kann durch die Steuereinrichtung 22 ansteuerbar sein. In den hier gezeigten Beispielen beträgt der Wasseranteil etwa 70%, um eine schnelle Hydrolyse größerer Mengen von Fut¬ termittel zu ermöglichen. Fig. 2 shows schematically a flow chart for treating feed. FIG. 1 shows a device for treating animal feed 10. The device 10 comprises a hydrolysis container 12, which may be designed as a hydrolysis reactor. Water and / or feed can be supplied to the hydrolysis container 12 via a water supply device 14 and a feed device 15, for example from suitable storage containers. Alternatively, a feed device for a water / feed mixture may be provided. About a mixture removal device 16, the mixture can be drained from the hydrolysis 12. The feed devices 14, 15 and the discharge device 16 may each be suitable conduits, valves and / o ¬ the control means comprise, to provide the desired supply and discharge of material. In particular, the feed devices 14, 15 and / or the discharge device 16 can be controlled by a control device 22 of the device 10. In the hydrolysis container 12, a stirring device 18 is provided, which is able to rotate in this example to move the mixture within the hydrolysis container 12 by means of stirring blades and / or to mix. A sensor device 20 is provided to monitor the mixing and / or hydrolysis reaction within the hydrolysis tank 12. The Sen ¬ soreinrichtung may in particular comprise one or more sensors for monitoring an acid content and / or the time course of an acid content, particularly the content of a certain type of acid such as acetic acid, are formed from ¬ and capable of transmitting to the control means 22, the corresponding sensor signals , Furthermore, the device 10 comprises a feeding device 24, which may be connected to a feeding agent reservoir 26. By means of the feeding device 24, a feeding agent such as sugar and / or a sugar-containing material can be introduced into the hydrolysis container 12, in particular into the water / feed mixture within the hydrolysis container 12. The feeding device 24 can be controlled by the controller 22. In the examples shown here, the water content is about 70% to enable a rapid hydrolysis of larger quantities of Fut ¬ feedingstuff.
Figur 2 zeigt ein Flussdiagramm eines Verfahrens zum Behandeln von Futtermittel, welches insbesondere mit der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Einrichtung durchgeführt werden kann. In einem Schritt S10 wird eine Mischung aus Wasser und Fut- termittel in einem Hydrolysebehälter bereitgestellt. Die Mischung kann bereits als Mischung in den Behälter eingeführt werden, oder es können Wasser und Futtermittel se¬ parat eingeführt werden. In einem Schritt S12 kann über eine Anfütterungseinrichtung ein Anfütterungsmittel , ins- besondere ein zuckerhaltiges Anfütterungsmittel , in den Hydrolysebehälter 12 und/oder die Wasser/Futtermittel-Mischung darin eingeführt werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann Anfütterungsmittel stromaufwärts des Hydrolysebehäl¬ ters 12 etwa in eine Wasserzufuhreinrichtung und/oder eine Futtermittelzufuhreinrichtung und/oder eine Mischungszufuhreinrichtung eingeführt oder einführbar sein. In einem Schritt S 14 wird eine Hydrolysereaktion im Hydrolysebe¬ hälter 12 durchgeführt und in diesem Beispiel durch eine Sensoreinrichtung überwacht. Während der Hydrolysereak- tion, die durch das Anfütterungsmittel beschleunigt sein kann, werden Abwehrstoffe des Futtermittels durch von den Mikroorganismen erzeugte Angriffsstoffe belegt und er¬ schöpft. Während der Hydrolyse können bei intakten Pflan¬ zen vorkommende Polymere in Oligomere, Dimere und/oder Monomere zerlegt und die Abwehrstoffe eliminiert oder un¬ wirksam gemacht werden. Wird es der Reaktion im Hydrolysebehälter 12 erlaubt, weiter zu verlaufen, werden in nachfolgenden Acidogenese- und Acetogenesephasen auch für die Ernährung und Verdauung von Tieren wertvolle Stoffe abge- baut. Daher kann es vorteilhaft sein, die Reaktion zu be¬ enden, bevor derartige säurebildende Phasen erfolgen. Dazu kann der Säuregehalt, insbesondere der Essigsäuregehalt und/oder der Gehalt an kurzkettigen Säuren, innerhalb des Hydrolysebehälters 12 überwacht werden. Geht aus der Über¬ wachung hervor, dass die säurebildende Phase eingesetzt hat oder in einem unerwünscht großen Umfang an der Reaktion teilnimmt, kann die Hydrolyse abgebrochen werden, etwa in¬ dem die Mischung aus dem Hydrolysebehälter entnommen wird, beispielsweise über eine Mischungsabfuhreinrichtung. Dies kann etwa in einem Schritt S 16 erfolgen. Nach dem Entfer- nen aus dem Hydrolysebehälter und/oder beim Beenden der Hydrolysereaktion kann eine Weiterbehandlung der Mischung aus Wasser und Futtermittel erfolgen, etwa Erwärmen und/o¬ der Trocknen und/oder Rausfiltern des Futtermittels aus der Mischung und/oder Verdichten des Futtermittelanteils. Es ist auch vorstellbar, dass die Hydrolyse durch Hinzu¬ fügen eines reaktionshemmenden Materials beendet wird, etwa zum Verändern des pH-Wertes der Mischung in einen für die Hydrolyse und/oder Acidogenese ungünstigen Bereich. Durch die Vorbehandlung des Futtermittels im Hydrolysebe- hälter 12 wird die Verdaulichkeit des Futtermittels er¬ höht, was beispielsweise bei der Tiermast eine effizien¬ tere Fütterung ermöglicht. FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a method for treating animal feed, which can be carried out in particular with the device shown in FIG. In a step S10, a mixture of water and feed is provided in a hydrolysis tank. The mixture can already be introduced as a mixture into the container, or it can be introduced water and feed se ¬ ready. In a step S12, a feeding means, in particular a sugar-containing feeding agent, can be introduced into the hydrolysis container 12 and / or the water / feed mixture therein via a feeding device. Alternatively or additionally Anfütterungsmittel can upstream of Hydrolysebehäl ¬ ters about 12 in a water supply means and / or a feed supply means and / or introduced a mixture supply means or be insertable. In a step S 14 a hydrolysis reaction in Hydrolysebe ¬ container 12 is carried out and monitored in this example by a sensor device. During the hydrolysis reaction, which may be accelerated by the aftertreatment agent, antibodies of the feedstuff are evidenced by pollutants produced by the microorganisms and exhausted . During hydrolysis occurring polymers in oligomers, dimers and / or monomers can be decomposed in intact Pflan ¬ zen and eliminates the repellents or made un ¬ effective. If the reaction in the hydrolysis tank 12 is allowed to continue, valuable substances are also degraded in the subsequent acidogenesis and acetogenesis phases for the nutrition and digestion of animals. Therefore, it may be advantageous for the reaction to be ¬ end before such acidifying phases take place. To For example, the acid content, in particular the acetic acid content and / or the content of short-chain acids, within the hydrolysis tank 12 can be monitored. It is apparent from the over ¬ monitoring that the acid-forming phase has begun or taking part in an undesirably large amount of the reaction, the hydrolysis can be terminated, the mixture is removed from the hydrolysis tank as in ¬, for example the a mixture discharging device. This can be done approximately in a step S16. After the distances nen from the hydrolysis tank and / or stoppage of the hydrolysis reaction can be carried out further treatment of the mixture of water and feed, such as heating and / o ¬ the drying and / or filter out the feed from the mixture and / or compaction of the feed portion. It is also conceivable that the hydrolysis paste by adding ¬ a reaction-inhibiting material is terminated, for example to change the pH of the mixture in an unfavorable for hydrolysis and / or acidogenesis area. By pretreatment of the feed in the hydrolysis-container 12, the digestibility of the feed is he ¬ höht, allowing efficien ¬ tere feeding, for example, in animal feed.
