Abstract

Provided is a method for producing BSF. The method comprising: providing adult black soldier flies in a breeding farm of black soldier fly; and providing, in the breeding farm, an induction medium comprising sawdust and, on the induction medium, a breeding induction apparatus having a plurality of breeding grooves in which to allow the adult black soldier flies to lay eggs.

Claims

1. A producing method for black soldier flies, the method comprising:

providing adult black soldier flies in a breeding farm of black soldier fly; and

providing, in the breeding farm, an induction medium comprising sawdust and, on the induction medium, a breeding induction apparatus having a plurality of breeding grooves in which to allow the adult black soldier flies to lay eggs.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the breeding farm comprises a breeding net with 80˜

100 meshes to prevent invasions from the outside.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the breeding induction apparatus is formed of flower foam or wood.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the breeding grooves are formed on either or both sides of the breeding induction apparatus.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein open side of the breeding groove has a geometric shape selected from the group consisting of round shape, elliptical shape, and polygonal shape.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a diameter of the open side of the breeding groove ranges from 3 mm to 5 mm.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a depth of the breeding groove ranges from 7 mm to 10 mm.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein a providing density of adult black soldier flies ranges from 8,000 to 12,000 (cm³/head).

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the providing a breeding induction apparatus is performed 3 days after performing the providing adult black soldier flies.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the induction medium comprises a combination of organic waste and sawdust or rice husk in the ratio of 3:

1.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the induction medium comprises a combination of organic waste and calf starter and sawdust in the ratio of 2:

1;

1.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the breeding farm further comprises a stench removing unit to remove a stench emitting from the inside.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising rearing pupae of black soldier flies in a rearing medium comprising sawdust of which a relative humidity ranges from 0% to 40%.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the rearing is performed under a condition that a density of pupae ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 (head/240 cm²), temperature is 27±

3°

C., and the rearing medium comprises a combination of organic waste and sawdust in the ratio of 3;

1.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the organic waste is crushed to be combined.

16. The method of claim 1 further comprising, posterior to the supplying adult black soldier flies, spraying water in the breeding farm two or three times a day to supply water.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the breeding farm is situated indoors and further comprises an air conditioner to maintain temperature of the breeding farm at 29±

5°

C.

18. The method of claim 13 further comprising removing a stench emitting from the rearing medium by a stench removing unit.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the breeding farm or the rearing medium is situated in a vinyl greenhouse having an illuminator or in a building with a transparent ceiling to maintain a photoperiod of the rearing medium at 14L:

10D.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the number of breeding induction apparatuses in the breeding farm of black soldier fly is 8.

21. The method of claim 13, wherein temperature of the rearing medium is maintained at 27±

3°

C. by an air conditioner.

22. The method of claim 14, wherein the organic waste is crushed to be combined.
