Problems solved by technology

[0008] Another disadvantage of some typical insect farming facilities is that the insects are fed by blowing the feed onto the insects
Invasive algae can colonize the seafloor and displace native species, causing significant loss of biodiversity

Embodiment Construction

[0057] The present disclosure provides an automated insect rearing facility for insect reproduction and growth. In at least one example, the insects farmed in the provided facility are of the order Coleoptera (eg, beetles), such as Tenebrio molitor beetles (commonly known as flour worm beetles). In other examples, the provided facilities can be used to rear other suitable insects, such as flies. Insects are reared in rearing modules containing multiple tray groups. The provided facility includes components in communication with a control unit that directs and controls said components according to predetermined instructions and / or in response to feedback from a number of different sensors. Sensors may include light sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, weight sensors, moisture sensors, motion sensors, and / or video sensors, among other suitable sensors. Thus, the components can perform various facility operations autonomously via instructions from the control unit wi...

Abstract

A system for automatically controlling Tenebrio Molitor larvae rearing activities, the system comprising: a container (1500) including one or more modules (1300) configured with a plurality of trays, wherein the plurality of trays are partitioned into sets of trays having an upper tray (702) with a sieved base and a lower tray (704) to receive first objects that fall through the sieved base of the upper tray (702); a vacuum aspiration system (1302) including a vacuum and a plurality of sets of aspiration arms including a first aspiration arm (1304) and a second aspiration arm (1306), the plurality of sets of aspiration arms configured to aspirate second objects through the first aspiration arm (1304) from the respective upper tray (702) to a first collection tank and the first objects through the second aspiration arm (1306) from the respective lower tray (704) to a second collection tank; and a control unit (300) programmed to control the plurality of sets of aspiration arms to collect the objects from the respective trays of the plurality of trays.

Description

Background technique [0001] Insect farming involves the breeding of insects for substances produced by the insects, or for the insects themselves, for use as food sources, dyes, animal feed, etc. Adults are bred to produce larval eggs, which hatch into larvae. Provide food and water for larvae to promote growth and development. After a period of time (eg, six weeks), the larva begins the process of metamorphosis into a pupa and then into an adult. Most of the larvae are collected during their final developmental stages before they transform into pupae for processing into rich protein sources and fatty oils, which can be provided as human food sources or animal feed. A small number of larvae are allowed to mature into adults so that they can breed and produce additional larval eggs. This ensures the self-sustainability of the farm's insect population. Furthermore, during the larval growth process, the larvae shed their skins multiple times, which can be recycled for use in ...
