Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural circular production, and more particularly to a selenium-rich circular aquaculture system. Background Art

[0002] Selenium, as an essential trace element for the human body, plays a crucial role in maintaining health. It can significantly enhance the human body's immunity, help resist the invasion of harmful heavy metals, regulate the protein synthesis process, play an antioxidant role, and also show certain potential in preventing and combating cancer. Given that up to 72% of the soil in China has insufficient selenium content, which leads to generally low selenium content in natural food crops, it is particularly important to promote and popularize selenium-rich foods to improve the selenium intake of the people.

[0003] In traditional selenium-rich aquaculture methods, inorganic selenium, such as sodium selenite, is usually directly added to increase the selenium content in food. However, this method has a significant problem, that is, the selenium absorption rate is relatively low, usually less than 30%, and there is also a certain toxicity risk. In addition, using selenium-rich technology only in a single link during aquaculture, such as only using selenium-rich feed, it is difficult to achieve efficient conversion of selenium in the whole chain. This not only affects the utilization efficiency of selenium but also may bring additional environmental problems, such as the relatively high treatment cost of aquaculture waste such as chicken manure, causing a burden on the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a selenium-rich circular aquaculture system, which uses the selenium-rich yellow mealworm feces and selenium-rich chicken manure produced by the company to breed selenium-rich black soldier flies, and then uses the black soldier fly adults as selenium-rich high-protein feed. It is a circular aquaculture system that realizes efficient selenium enrichment and resource utilization of waste through multi-level biological conversion of selenium-rich yeast - yellow mealworms - chickens - black soldier flies.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A selenium-rich circular aquaculture system, characterized in that: selenium-rich yeast is added to the yellow mealworm feed, and selenium-rich yellow mealworms are obtained after feeding; chicken feed is prepared with selenium-rich yellow mealworms to produce selenium-rich eggs / chicken; the selenium-rich yellow mealworm feces / selenium-rich chicken manure are fermented as black soldier fly aquaculture feed, the yellow mealworm feces / chicken manure are degraded by black soldier flies, the worm bodies are reused for feed, and the worm feces are made into selenium-rich organic fertilizer.

[0006] Further, the selenium addition amount in the yellow mealworm feed is 3 - 10 mg / kg, and the proportion of selenium-rich yellow mealworms in the chicken feed is 5 - 10%.

[0007] Further, when breeding black soldier flies, fermented yellow mealworm feces / chicken manure are used as feed, the breeding temperature is 26 - 30 °C, the humidity is 65% - 75%, and the breeding cycle is 10 ± 1 days.

[0008] Furthermore, avoid strong light during the rearing process. After the fifth day of rearing, apply ultraviolet light for 20-25 minutes daily. Ultraviolet light (UV-B, 280-315nm) activates the black soldier flies' bodies, promoting selenocysteine synthesis by glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and enhancing selenium binding by metallothionein (MT). UV-B also converts sodium selenite in the feed into more easily absorbed selenium nanoparticles, thereby increasing selenium content. Exposure should be two hours after feeding, coinciding with peak digestion and absorption.

[0009] Furthermore, selenium-rich mealworm feces / chicken manure are pretreated and then transformed and degraded by black soldier flies. The pretreatment process involves composting the mealworm feces / chicken manure with selenium-rich straw in a 1:1 ratio for seven days to reduce ammonia nitrogen to less than 0.3%. Bentonite is then added to absorb heavy metals. The treated mealworm feces / chicken manure is then used as feed for black soldier flies, which then produce the insects and feces after breeding. Due to the heavy metal, antibiotic residue, and ammonia nitrogen content in the feces / chicken manure, it cannot be used directly. Instead, it requires composting to kill pathogens, reduce the content of heavy metals such as Cd and As, and reduce ammonia nitrogen concentration to 0.3%. This increases the survival rate of mealworm larvae to 95%.

[0010] Furthermore, the amount of bentonite added should be 2%-3% of the weight of the insect / chicken manure. The bentonite should be evenly mixed with the raw materials and allowed to stand for 2 hours before fermentation to ensure full contact between the bentonite and heavy metals, achieving an adsorption rate of 60-80% for Cd and As. Use calcium- or sodium-based bentonite, and adjust the feed pH to 6.0-7.0 to achieve the optimal adsorption range.

[0011] Furthermore, the black soldier fly feed contains 60% to 75% fermented insect feces and 25% to 40% supplementary materials. The supplementary materials can be selected from one or more of tofu dregs, soybean meal, cornmeal, wheat bran, pomace, and brewer's grains, with the protein content controlled above 40%. The addition of high-quality supplementary materials optimizes feed ratios, increases nutritional value, and reduces costs.

[0012] Furthermore, the selenium-enriched yeast is directly added to chicken feed or black soldier fly feed for feeding.

[0013] Furthermore, selenium-rich black soldier fly larvae are used as high-end protein feed for chickens, ducks, and fish, and their excrement is used as selenium-rich organic fertilizer for crop cultivation, producing selenium-rich eggs, poultry, fish, and meat. Black soldier fly excrement is used as selenium-rich organic fertilizer for crop cultivation, producing selenium-rich fruits, vegetables, and grains.

[0014] In summary, the present invention improves the biological utilization rate of selenium through multi-stage biological transformation (yeast → yellow mealworm → chicken), uses black soldier fly to achieve the closed-loop treatment of chicken manure / yellow mealworm manure, and forms a zero-emission circular system. Feeding selenium-rich chicken / yellow mealworm manure and other raw materials to black soldier fly can obtain selenium-rich black soldier fly, realizing short-cycle and rapid breeding. The obtained adult black soldier fly has a high selenium content and can be used as high-quality livestock and poultry feed. The selenium-rich black soldier fly after breeding the adults is used as feed for selenium-rich chickens, which can increase the ecological cycle of organic selenium, construct a complete agricultural resource utilization chain, reduce the waste of selenium resources, and achieve the cascade enrichment and value-added utilization of selenium elements through multi-stage biological transformation. This system realizes the efficient recycling of resources and has significant economic and ecological benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Bentonite is then added to absorb heavy metals. The treated mealworm feces / chicken manure is then used as feed for black soldier flies, and the insect bodies and feces are produced after breeding. Due to the heavy metal, antibiotic residue, and ammonia nitrogen content in the feces / chicken manure, it cannot be used directly and requires composting to kill pathogenic microorganisms, reduce the content of heavy metals such as Cd and As, reduce the ammonia nitrogen concentration to 0.3%, and increase the survival rate of the yellow mealworm larvae to 95%.

[0022] In this embodiment, the bentonite addition is preferably 2%-3% of the weight of the insect / chicken manure. The bentonite and raw materials are evenly mixed and allowed to stand for 2 hours before fermentation to ensure full contact between the bentonite and the heavy metals, achieving an adsorption rate of 60-80% for Cd and As. Calcium- or sodium-based bentonite is used, and the feed pH is adjusted to 6.0-7.0 to achieve the optimal adsorption range.

[0023] In this embodiment, the black soldier fly feed preferably contains 60% to 75% fermented insect feces and 25% to 40% supplementary materials, with the supplementary materials being selected from one or more of tofu dregs, soybean meal, corn flour, wheat bran, pomace, and brewer's grains, with the protein content controlled to be above 40%.

[0029] Manure pretreatment: Mix insect manure / chicken manure with selenium-rich straw in a 1:1 ratio and compost for 7 days, then add 2-3% bentonite to absorb heavy metals.
