Abstract
An insect farming installation comprises: a module comprising continuous profiled containers, each continuous profiled containers being configured to be filled with substrate containing larvae, wherein the continuous profiled containers are vertically superimposed to one another, and wherein at least some of the containers are configured to be filled with substrate in a way adapted to maximize an age difference of the larvae contained in the substrates respectively filling two consecutive containers, and wherein the containers are at least partially made with a thermally conductive material.
Claims14
A method for promoting a bioconversion of insects in an insect farming installation, said insect farming installation comprising a module comprising continuous profiled containers made of a thermally conductive material having a thermal conductivity of at least 10 W m−1 K−1, the continuous profiled containers being vertically superimposed to one another, said method comprising:
- filling the containers with substrate containing seeded larvae such that an age difference of the larvae contained in the substrates respectively filling two consecutive containers is maximized.
