Such insect larvae contain about 50% protein and more than 15% fat, large amounts of calcium and potassium, and are therefore suitable for use as feed for livestock such as chickens and pigs. As larva feeds, live larvae, semi-dry larvae or dry larvae can be used as a whole, and dry larvae can be used as a powder by grinding.

In addition, insect larvae have inherent antiviral properties and when used as feed for livestock such as chickens and pigs, it is reported that when the livestock ingest more than 5% of the daily feed intake, the bird flu and foot-and-mouth disease prevention effect is high have.

Since the breeding of insect larvae is carried out using livestock feces or food wastes, it is a good way to solve the problem of disposal of animal litter and food waste.

In addition, it is known that the modified fodder soil, which is a larva of larvae that occurs when insect larvae are raised, has a property of improving soil properties. Thus, insect larvae have the advantage of solving the problem of livestock feces and food waste disposal, as well as profit from sales of larvae and sale of cultivated larvae.

However, there has been a problem in that it is difficult to effectively recover the larvae grown when insects are larvae of flies such as flies. In other words, there was a problem that it was difficult to easily separate livestock fodder, food waste, feces, and larvae, which were fed larvae used to breed insect larvae.

Further, the conventional device for breeding insect larva has a problem in that the composition is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.

Therefore, it has been desired to develop a new insect larva rearing apparatus and method that can easily separate a well-grown insect larva, livestock fractions, food waste, and fecal soil, and has a very simple structure and remarkably low manufacturing cost .

The cylindrical member 10 has a closed bottom and a closed top. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical member 10 may be a circular tube or a rectangular tube, and the material thereof is preferably rigid such as plastic or metal.

The lid member 20 covers the upper portion of the cylindrical member 10, and at least a portion corresponding to the open portion of the upper portion of the cylindrical member is formed in a net shape. In this embodiment, the lid member 20 is constituted by the fixing portion 22 and the net 24, and the fixing portion 22 is formed in an inverted U-shape in section so that the upper portion of the tubular member 10 And the net 24 is fixed to the inside of the fixing portion 22 and covers the upper portion of the cylindrical member 10. [

Here, the fixing portion 22 may be made of plastic or metal, and the net 24 may be made of plastic, metal, or synthetic fiber.

The pores of the net 24 are suitable for inserting young insect larvae hatched from eggs and suitable for exiting the foliar soil but it is desirable that the larvae have a size such that the insect larvae grown to some extent can not escape. The size of the hole of the mesh 24 can be set differently depending on the kind of insects.

The cylindrical member 10 is provided at the upper portion of the upper portion and is connected to the fixing portion 22 of the lid member 20 to fix the lid member 20 to the cylindrical member 10 12).

Here, the fixing portions 22 and 12 are fixing members for fixing the cylindrical member and the lid member in a state in which the lid member is covered on the cylindrical member.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the cylindrical member 10 is designed to have a small height in comparison with the bottom surface. When the height of the insect larvae is relatively low, the larvae of the insect larvae are almost completely consumed at the time when the insect larvae are almost grown, ) Can leave only insect larvae and foliar soil. That is, through this, it is possible to collect eggs of many insects per area, and the collected eggs can be hatched so that the larvae can digest all of the food in the tub member, thereby collecting the largest number of larvae per volume.

Although the fixing member is formed on both sides of the cylindrical member 10 and the lid member 20 in the present embodiment, even if the fixing member is designed to be constituted only in either the cylindrical member 10 or the lid member 20 .

Although the fixing member is integrally coupled to the cylindrical member 10 and the lid member 20 in the present embodiment, the lid member 20 is made of a flexible net, and the fixing member is made of a flexible net A high elasticity band member for fixing the mesh to the upper portion of the cylindrical member 10 at an upper portion of the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 10 in a state of covering the upper surface of the cylindrical member 10.

The feeding device 100 is placed in the scattering chamber of the insect with the cover member 20 covering the upper part of the cylindrical member 10 so that the insects scatter the eggs 40. At this time, it is preferable that the food height line 50, which is the highest height of the food, is positioned on the net 24. It is preferable that the temperature and the humidity of the scattering chamber are adjusted to be optimal for the scattering of the insect.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which eggs are scattered by insects. In the case of flies, a sufficient amount of scattering can be obtained when the feeding device 100 is placed in the scattering chamber and the elapsed time is 2 to 3 hours.

Subsequently, when the insect eggs are scattered, the feeding apparatus 100 is moved to the feeding chamber. At this time, the insect larva (42) hatching from the egg has a characteristic of disliking the light and digs into the net (24) of the sludge type prey. The temperature and humidity of the breeding room should be adjusted to the optimal condition for hatching and rearing of the insects.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the larvae 42 hatch in the eggs 40 as described above. In the case of flies, hatching from eggs takes about 3 hours.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the larva 44 of the digested insects in the form of sludge grows while eating the food 30 from the upper layer and discharging the fecal soil 60, while moving to a lot of food. As a result, the food 30 is reduced and the food height line 50 is gradually lowered, and the fecal soil 60 is gradually increased.

Then, as shown in Fig. 4, the insect larvae 46 continue to grow in the breeding device 100, so that only the larvae 46 that have been grown with the fecal soil 60 are left. In the case of the larvae, it takes about 3 days for larvae to multiply in laying.

Thereafter, the feeding device 100 is turned upside down to shake the extruded soil 60 out of the net 24 so that only the larva 46 that is grown in the feeding device 100 is left, and then the lid member 20 is separated, Collecting.

Next, another embodiment of a method of using an insect larva using the insect larva growing apparatus configured as described above will be described.

First, the cylindrical member 10 is filled with sludge-shaped food of an insect larva including animal husbandry or food waste. The feeding device 100 is placed in the scattering chamber of the insect with the upper part of the cylindrical member 10 not covered with the lid member 20 so that the insects scatter the eggs 40. At this time, it is preferable that the temperature and the humidity of the scattering chamber are adjusted to be optimal for the scattering of the insect. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the insects scattered eggs 40 in this manner.

Subsequently, when the insect eggs are scattered, the feeding apparatus 100 is moved to the feeding chamber. The insect larvae (42) hatching in eggs have a characteristic of disliking light and dig into the sludge-shaped food as shown in Fig. In this state, the upper portion of the cylindrical member 10 is covered with the lid member 20. The subsequent process may be performed in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily separate a larva of a well-grown insect from an animal husbandry fraction, food waste, and feces. That is, not only insect larvae can be classified quickly and easily, but also insect larvae can be classified into 100%. Therefore, when the present invention is used, productivity of insect larvae can be remarkably increased.

In addition, since the apparatus of the present invention is very simple in structure and the manufacturing cost is remarkably low, the productivity of insect larvae can be increased at a lower cost than in the prior art by using the present invention.

In addition, when the present invention is used, since the well-grown insect larvae can easily separate insects and larvae from the sludge food that is made of livestock powder or food waste, the insect larvae can be separated into 100% As well as being able to get a good quality of the feces. These good quality fertilizers are used as compost for crops and are the best remedies to improve soil properties. Therefore, by using the present invention, it becomes possible to obtain the best quality fecal soil which is a by-product in the production of insect larva.
