Silkworm breeding methods and precautions

Silkworm breeding methods and precautions

Sericulture is a traditional industry in our country and has existed for about three or four thousand years. But even after so many years of existence, various problems still arise in the process of silkworm breeding. Let’s talk about the silkworm breeding methods and precautions.

1. Location selection

Choose a place with suitable climate, fertile soil and plenty of sunshine for silkworm breeding. Silkworm breeding sites should be kept clean and sanitary to avoid the breeding of pathogenic microorganisms.

2. Mulberry planting

Plant high-quality varieties of mulberry trees to ensure adequate supply of mulberry leaves for silkworms to eat. The row spacing and planting density of mulberry trees should be reasonably determined based on actual conditions to ensure the growth quality and yield of mulberry trees.

3. Feeding and management

During the breeding process, the quality of mulberry leaves must be ensured, and fresh mulberry leaves should be picked in time to prevent them from becoming moldy and deteriorating. The stocking density should be moderate to avoid overcrowding which may lead to silkworm diseases. Clean silkworm feces regularly to keep the silkworm breeding environment clean.

4. Temperature and humidity control

The suitable temperature range for the growth and development of silkworms is 20-30 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is controlled at 60%-80%. When the temperature and humidity are not suitable, it will affect the growth and development of silkworms and even cause diseases.

5. Pest and disease control

Strengthen the monitoring of pests and diseases, and adopt a combination of biological and chemical control to prevent and control pests and diseases in a timely manner. Pay attention to the growth and development of silkworms, and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner.

6. Silkworm breeding types and feeding patterns

Choose the appropriate breeding type and feeding mode according to actual conditions, such as spring silkworms, summer silkworms, autumn silkworms, etc. Reasonably plan the breeding cycle to ensure the quality and yield of silk .
