Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of insect breeding, and in particular relates to a large-scale breeding production line for black soldier flies. Background Art
[0002] Black soldier fly larvae can feed on organic waste, such as kitchen waste and livestock and poultry manure, and convert organic waste into insect feces and highly nutritious insect bodies. Insect feces are natural organic fertilizers, and insect bodies contain high protein and high energy. They can not only be used directly as feed for the aquaculture industry to reduce aquaculture costs, but also can be used to extract biochemical raw materials such as antimicrobial peptides and chitin, with huge room for value-added.
[0003] With the expansion of modern aquaculture, the intensification and scale of livestock and poultry manure is also increasing. Traditional composting takes a long time and has low efficiency. Using black soldier flies to treat livestock and poultry manure can not only convert the organic matter left in the manure into its own nutrients, but also produce high-protein nutritious feed, realizing the organic recycling of biological waste.
[0004] At present, the breeding of black soldier flies is mainly carried out in ground troughs or breeding frames. This breeding method has the following problems: first, it occupies a large area, has a dirty and poor environment, has low efficiency, requires a lot of manpower, and is difficult to promote. Second, due to its simple structure, it is impossible to achieve large-scale breeding, and the degree of automation is low, resulting in low production efficiency. If a large-scale breeding line is to be formed, it can only be done by simply superimposing multiple breeding lines, which increases the manufacturing cost of the equipment and also increases the production cost.
