Abstract
Description
飼育装置において飼育対象とする生物は、例えば、節足動物等の小生物である。飼育対象の生物は、例えば、食用、飼料用、研究用等に用いられる生物である。飼育対象の生物のうち昆虫としては、コオロギ、イナゴ、バッタ等があげられる。本例における飼育対象の生物は、昆虫のうち、バッタ目のコオロギやイナゴを好適な例として説明する。
本例における飼育装置は、飼育対象の生物の産卵期における飼育を行う。つまり、飼育装置は、成長した飼育対象の生物が産卵する間を飼育する。特に、飼育装置は、産卵された卵の収集を目的とする。なお、本例における飼育装置は、卵から孵化させ、孵化した幼虫を成長させるための装置と連結して、飼育対象の生物の一生を飼育する装置とすることもできる。
飼育装置1の構成について、図1-図5を参照して説明する。飼育装置1は、図1に示すように、飼育エリア形成部材10、コンベア20、給餌装置30、産卵床シート41、保護シート42、産卵床シート保持部材51、保護シート保持部材52、残餌回収容器61、産卵床シート回収容器62、保護シート回収容器63を備える。さらに、飼育装置1は、図示しないが、コンベア20及び給餌装置30を制御する制御装置を備える。
飼育装置1の動作について、図1-図6を参照して説明する。まず、作業者が、産卵床シート41aを産卵床シート保持部材51に巻回した状態で、産卵床シート保持部材51をフレーム11に設置する。さらに、作業者が、保護シート42aを保護シート保持部材52に巻回した状態で、保護シート保持部材52をフレーム11に設置する。産卵床シート保持部材51及び保護シート保持部材52は、コンベア20の上流側に設置される。
他の例の飼育装置2の構成について、図7を参照して説明する。上記の飼育装置1は、飼育エリアA1,A2の底面に、餌供給エリア及び産卵床エリアを有する構成とした。この他に、飼育装置2は、飼育エリアA1,A2の底面に、産卵床エリアのみを有する構成としても良い。この場合、産卵床シート41及び保護シート42が、コンベア20のベルト23の上面において、コンベア20の幅方向のほぼ全体に亘って配置される。この場合、給餌は、例えば、止まり部材に給餌容器(図示せず)を設置すれば良い。
