Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to black soldier fly breeding, in particular to a black soldier fly breeding method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The black soldier fly breeding generally uses kitchen garbage, poultry manure and the like as feed. In the case of using poultry manure as feed, there are defects: the manure is directly used for breeding after being crushed, the black soldier fly larvae have weak digestion capacity for active proteins, fats and other organic matters, and the feed cannot be fully utilized; in addition, the manure is easy to breed bacteria, and the types of bacterial flora are uncontrollable, which causes great risk to the survival and reproduction of the black soldier fly. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the defects of the prior art, the present application provides a black soldier fly breeding method.

[0004] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows:

[0005] A black soldier fly breeding method, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: sterilizing the manure by heating to obtain sterile manure;

[0007] Step 2: randomly taking multiple portions of soil at the breeding site and multiple portions of sterile manure, adding an equal amount of sterile manure to each portion of soil, and stirring to obtain a mixture;

[0008] Step 3: adjusting the water content of the mixture to 50% (±10%), adjusting the pH to 7-8, and fermenting for 5 days; sampling and qualitatively analyzing each portion of the mixture to determine whether it contains protease and lipase; if yes, retaining it; if no, discarding it; repeating the analysis every 5 days for a total of 3 times; the mixture that remains after the analysis is inoculum slurry; it is necessary to adjust the water content, because too high water content will result in insufficient internal air, making it difficult for most bacteria to effectively ferment; the qualitative analysis of enzymes can save a lot of time and cost compared with the complicated quantitative analysis;

[0009] Step 4: stirring and mixing each inoculum slurry with corresponding sterile manure according to a weight ratio of 1:90, and fermenting for 10 days to obtain pre-prepared feed;

[0010] Step 5: inoculating black soldier fly larvae into each pre-prepared feed according to an inoculation amount of 1000 individuals / L, and cultivating for 10 days;

[0011] Step 6: comprehensively evaluating the optimal pre-prepared feed according to three indexes of the survival number of black soldier fly larvae, the weight of the larvae and crude protein, and using the corresponding inoculum slurry of the optimal pre-prepared feed as fermentation strain for amplification;

[0012] Step 7: inoculating fermentation strain into sterile manure, inoculating black soldier fly larvae into the fermented manure at an amount of 1000 individuals / L for cultivation until the black soldier fly reaches the delivery standard.

[0013] Further, the feces are chicken feces, wherein the ash content is ≥20% and the water content is ≥55%.

[0014] Further, the heating sterilization method is: 2L / L of 120℃ steam is introduced into the feces, 1 time per 8s, for a total of 8 times. A pulse heating method is adopted to avoid excessive heating, which leads to an increase in the viscosity of the feces and affects subsequent mixing and fermentation. It is found through experiments that the viscosity of the feces obtained by the pulse heating method is slightly smaller than that obtained by traditional boiling heating.

[0015] Further, the soil in step 2 is passed through a 60-mesh sieve before being added to the sterile feces. Screening can remove hard stones and other impurities.

[0016] Further, the stirring speed in step 2 is 500-1000r / min, and the stirring time is 25min. The mixing of feces and soil can easily produce clumping, so it is necessary to stir for a long time at a high stirring speed to break up the clumps.

[0017] Further, the method for adjusting the water content of the mixture is: heating the mixture to 45-55℃ until the water content is 50%. Too high a temperature can easily cause a significant increase in the viscosity of the feces.

[0018] Further, the stirring speed in step 4 is 30-60r / min, and the stirring time is 2-3h. Very gentle stirring is used to avoid damaging the bacterial strains.

[0019] Further, the cultivation method is: air temperature 30-35℃, relative humidity 70-75%, ventilation amount 50-90mL / s, and turning over every 20min.

[0020] Further, the expansion method is: the inoculated slurry is added to beef extract peptone culture medium at a weight ratio of 1:200, the air temperature is 30-35℃, the relative humidity is 70-75%, the ventilation amount is 50-90mL / s, and the expansion is ended when the bacterial activity is ≥100000CFU / g.

[0021] Further, the inoculation method of the fermentation bacterial strain in step 7 is: the fermentation bacterial strain is mixed with sterile feces at a weight ratio of 1:1000. The activity of the expanded fermentation bacterial strain is very strong, and multiple inoculations are not required.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present application are: first, the original pathogenic bacteria in the feces are killed by heating to avoid the pathogenic bacteria becoming the dominant community in subsequent cultivation; second, the indigenous bacteria in the soil of the breeding site are selected to construct the fermentation strains, and the indigenous bacteria have stable architecture and strong adaptability to local climate and water source. The fermentation strains with the functions of decomposing protein and fat are obtained through screening as the final production strains, which reduces the breeding risk of black soldier fly and improves the product quality of black soldier fly.

[0026] Step 2, randomly take 29 portions of soil (numbered 1-29# respectively, each portion is passed through a 60-mesh sieve) and 29 portions of sterile feces from the breeding site (in this embodiment, it is the Aotou Town of Conghua District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province), and add an equal amount of sterile feces to each portion of soil to obtain a mixture; the stirring speed is 500-1000r / min, and the stirring time is 25min.

[0027] Step 3, heat the mixture at 45-55℃ until the water content is 50%(±10%), adjust the pH to 7-8, and ferment for 5d; sample each portion of the mixture to qualitatively analyze whether it contains protease and lipase, and if so, retain it, otherwise discard it; repeat the analysis every 5d, a total of 3 times, and the mixtures retained after the analysis are the inoculum slurries. In this embodiment, the mixtures numbered 5#, 11# and 12# are retained after 3 times of analysis.

[0028] Step 4, mix the inoculum slurries 5#, 11# and 12# with the corresponding sterile feces according to the weight ratio of 1:90, and stir at a speed of 30-60r / min for 2-3h; then ferment for 10d to obtain 5#, 11# and 12# pre-prepared feeds.

[0029] Step 5, inoculate black soldier fly larvae into 5#, 11# and 12# pre-prepared feeds according to an inoculation amount of 1000 individuals / L, and cultivate for 10d; the cultivation method is: air temperature 30-35℃, relative humidity 70-75%, aeration amount 50-90mL / s, and turning over every 20min.

[0030] Step 6, the optimal pre-prepared feed is determined by comprehensively evaluating the survival number of black soldier fly larvae, the weight of the larvae, and the crude protein.

[0034] From Table 1, the worm index obtained by the pre-prepared feed numbered 11# is optimal, so the mixture 11# is selected as the fermentation strain in the subsequent.
