METHOD FOR SUPPPLYING WATER IN THE REARING OF LIVESTOCK AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING BLOCKS OF AN AQUEOUS GEL

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.
