Description

{Apparatus for Rearing Imago of Industrial Insects for Breeding of Industrial Insects}

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a breeding machine for adult insects for breeding industrial insects, and more particularly to a breeding machine capable of using adult insects for harvesting industrial insects at the adult stage.

Generally, insects are used in various fields such as learning, pet, pollen medicament, natural enemy, environmental purification, feed, food and medicinal use.

In particular, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has highlighted edible insects that have fast breeding and high feed efficiency and high nutrient content such as protein, vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids as a solution to future food shortages .

There are seven kinds of silkworms such as silkworm pupa, grasshopper, flowerbug (white spider mite larva), and lily of the valley (lepidoptera larva) since Korea was first recognized as a raw material for the food called " It is designated as edible insect and distributed.

 The global insect market is growing by more than 6% a year, while edible insects are popular as alternative food sources and new high-income items. Experts expect this growth to continue.

Also, at the end of 2016, the number of insect farms in Korea increased by 74.2% from the previous year to 1261 households.

Various technological developments and continuous research on industrial breeding facilities and breeding methods have been carried out in accordance with the trend of insect industry.

Conventionally, an appropriate size plastic box is used for insect breeding. Insect breeding boxes are placed on a multi-stage shelf for mass rearing of insects.

For example, Korean Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 20-2012-0000770 discloses a technique relating to an insect lifting apparatus in which a plurality of sucking baskets are arranged on a shelf of a frame provided with a plurality of shelves at regular intervals.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2002-0001648 discloses a method for mass-feeding crickets, which is a method of transferring crickets hatched from a hatchery to a plastic container made of plastic and raising them until they become adult.

Korean Patent No. 10-1634678 discloses a technique for a box-shaped box-shaped breeding box and a box-shaped partition wall for breeding crickets that are formed of a wall material of DANPLA material and have a columnar opening.

However, such a conventional insect breeding box has a problem in that the efficiency of mass rearing is reduced because it is bulky compared to the breeding space.

Korea Public Utility Model Publication No. 20-2012-0000770 (2012.02.02.) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2002-0001648 (2002.01.09.) Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1634678 (June 23, 2016)
