  • Method for supplying water in the rearing of livestock and device for producing blocks of an aqueous gel
    Patent number: 12329184
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing blocks of an aqueous gel, comprising: a step of forming a compound by mixing: i. an aqueous substrate; and ii. the gelling agent, —a step of drawing off the compound; —a step of in-line cooling of the compound so as to bring it below a second temperature at which it gels; —a step of transferring to a distribution line; —a step of cutting the gelled compound into blocks at the outlet of the distribution line; and—a step of distributing the blocks of gel into a farming container immediately after the gel is cut into blocks. Such a method allows blocks of gel to be produced continuously and as required in the context of rearing livestock, in particular rearing insects. The invention also relates to a corresponding device.

  • GEL COMPRISING A LIQUID COPRODUCT FROM AGRO-INDUSTRY AND USE THEREOF FOR REARING INSECTS
    Publication number: 20190343148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gel used as a source of water and/or nutrients for rearing insects. The gel comprises 90 to 99.6% by weight of an aqueous substrate comprising at least 25% by weight, of the total weight of the aqueous substrate, of a liquid coproduct from agro-industry, 0.3 to 2% by weight of a gelling agent, and 0.1 to 5% by weight of a preservative, the percentages by weight of aqueous substrate, gelling agent and preservative being expressed over the total weight of the gel.
