1. Mulberry leavesMulberry leaves are silkworms' favorite food. Because mulberry leaves contain a lot of protein, after eating them, the silk produced by silkworms will be very tough. Moreover, mulberry leaves contain a volatile substance that can be extracted, and silkworms can easily detect this smell. Even if they are far away, they will crawl towards the place where the smell is. 2. Other LeavesIn addition to mulberry leaves, silkworms can also eat leaves of many other plants. For example, lettuce leaves, romaine lettuce leaves, elm leaves and so on. These leaves also contain protein, which can provide it with nutrients. However, some silkworms do not like to eat these leaves when they are young. Their favorite food is still mulberry leaves. 3. Special feedNow some businesses use substances extracted from mulberry leaves to make special feed for silkworms. This kind of feed is also very suitable for raising silkworms. Because it contains the same substances as mulberry leaves, and also adds some other nutrients, it can help silkworms grow more healthily. |
