Research on material temperature monitoring and early warning strategy under high density breeding condition of Black Soldier Fly(BSF)
To identify more effective strategies for monitoring material temperature in Black Soldier Fly breeding,the study examined the impact of material temperature depth,monitoring methods,and locations on the monitoring effectiveness during the conversion of chicken manure into feedstock.This was conducted under high-density feeding conditions in a laboratory setting.The findings revealed that the surface temperature of black soldier fly breeding materials was notably higher than at other depths,decreasing as the depth increased,and there was a positive correlation between surface and depth temperatures(P<0.05).Thermal resistance,infrared sensors,and thermal imaging were all effective in measuring material temperature.Correlation analysis with thermal resistance measurements showed that infrared sensors provided superior correlations,with the quadratic polynomial equation demonstrating the highest accuracy(R2=0.952).Temperature measurements at different locations indicated that the average center temperature throughout the breeding cycle was significantly higher than at the periphery,making it a key monitoring point for high-temperature early warnings in black soldier fly breeding.These results offer a scientific foundation for further research into material temperature control strategies and an intelligent control system for black soldier fly breeding environments.
