Description

[0002] Automated equipment for industrial insect breeding {The automated facilities for raising of industrial insect}

More particularly, the present invention relates to an automation apparatus for industrial insect breeding that can feed or insect insect eggs into an automatically grounded culture medium and then operate the feeder.

Generally, industrial insects raised for food are usually harvested in the larval state, but industrial insects raised for medicinal purposes are kept up to the adult state. These industrial insects are known to have various uses such as silkworm pupa, cricket by pair, and so on. (See Figs. 1 and 2)

Insects are first kept in the fermented sawdust to feed the liquid or powdered food while the larvae grow after the insect eggs hatch, and to ensure that the caterpillars grown to a certain standard do not escape from the breeding stock.

In other words, industrial insects raised for food are mostly harvested in larval state, but industrial insects raised for medicinal purposes should be raised up to adult condition, which means that the breeding prevention facility is important.

In particular, it is important to judge whether the environment such as temperature and humidity is proper while observing the breeding process during the period of insect breeding (about 2 months). The breeding image is usually a multi-stage facility structure, It is not easy to approach and look at.

In the past, most of the breeding processes in which insects have been buried or buried in the terrestrial terrain or the feeding of food has been troublesome because the manager has to move to the place where the breeding image is installed. Therefore, There is a desperate need for new technology development.
