CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much is the appropriate income from raising silkworms per acre? (How much is the appropriate income from raising silkworms per acre?)

1. What is the cost of industrial silkworm farming?

To raise silkworms, one mu of mulberry seedlings needs to be invested about 1,800 yuan, plus one year of management after planting mulberry trees, such as weeding the mulberry field, fertilizers and pesticides generated by fertilization, etc., which requires 2,000 yuan per mu per year. In addition, the input cost of silkworm eggs, 90% of silkworm eggs are now sold in bulk, and some are packed in boxes, 5,000 eggs per box. Silkworm eggs are relatively small, no matter how many you buy, boxed or bulk, 100 eggs are only 1 yuan. If you plant one mu of mulberry trees, you can raise 100,000 silkworm eggs for cultivation, which is enough. The investment of 100,000 silkworm eggs is 1,000 yuan. The total investment cost is 4,800 yuan.

2. How much does it cost to raise silkworm pupae?

The first year of planting and management can cover the cost. I remember that when I first raised silkworms in 1993, I only raised half a sheet of silkworms on one acre of mulberry trees. The silkworm seeds were calculated by grams, and then a breeding generation was put in. The seeds were evenly stained on paper and began to be placed in the jar with a black cloth. The room was heated to maintain above 25℃. Two days later, in the morning before the sun came out, a 60-watt fluorescent lamp was used to expose the silkworms for about an hour. The larvae began to crawl out of the hard shell and began to feed for the first time. The life of the silkworm is very short. After five moltings, it begins to make cocoons and pupate in spring about 28 days. If you have never raised silkworms, it is a little difficult at the beginning, but you will learn it slowly. Now the price of silkworm cocoons is about 28 yuan per catty. One acre of adult mulberry garden can earn about 10,000 yuan a year. Growing grapes is also very hard work. Loading, pruning, hat-loading, wire drawing, spraying, etc. It takes more than two years for grape trees to bear fruit. A good variety can earn about 6,000 yuan per acre. If you want to have a high income from growing grapes, you can use winter-warm greenhouses off-season to have good benefits.

3. How many silkworms can be raised on one acre of mulberry trees?

One mu of mulberry garden in full production period can harvest about 800 kg of leaves in spring, which can raise about 1.5 silkworms. (One silkworm weighs 10 grams) If the management level is average, 500-600 kg of mulberry leaves can be harvested in spring, which can raise nearly one silkworm. But if silkworms are raised in batches in autumn, such as raising only autumn silkworms and late autumn silkworms, under normal conditions, 600-800 kg of leaves can be harvested in autumn (August-September), which can raise 1-1.5 silkworms. About 300 kg can be harvested in late autumn (September-October), which can raise about 0.5 silkworms at a time. (This answer mainly refers to mulberry gardens that adopt summer felling management for mulberry trees.)

4. How many silk cocoons can be produced? If you only raise silkworms for one season a year, how much will you earn?

Generally, one mu of land can be used to plant mulberry and raise silkworms. If the mulberry leaves are good, it can raise silkworms that are 3 sheets of paper. Each sheet of paper can produce about 45 kilograms of cocoons. There are basically two seasons a year. As far as I know, it is unlikely to raise only one season because it is related to your mulberry leaf collection problem next year. This year, the cocoon price is 48.5 yuan/kg, and the direct income is about 6,000-8,000 yuan. It takes about 2 people to collect mulberry leaves a week before the silkworms make cocoons. During the period of making cocoons, it takes about 4 people for about 3 days, and the labor cost is 80 yuan/day. The food cost is about 500 yuan, and the labor cost is about 2,080 yuan. The labor cost does not include the care of the silkworms when they are young. As for the mulberry roots, how to deal with them? When you don’t want to raise them, find a rope behind an agricultural tractor and make a bundle of 6-10, and use the tractor to pull them. Mulberry roots can be sold for money, and the feces of silkworms can be dried and sold as fertilizer. But all procedures must be watched by the person. If you don’t watch it by yourself, once there is a problem, it will directly affect your personal income.

5. How much labor is needed to raise silkworms on one acre of land?

At least 2 people are needed to raise silkworms on 1 mu of land.

Silkworms can be raised 4-5 times a year, and the average breeding time is about 30 days.

Normally, one acre of mulberry garden can raise one silkworm seed at a time. From mulberry garden maintenance, silkworm seed breeding, to silkworm cocoon extraction and other links, at least two people are needed to take care of it.

One acre of mulberry garden with proper management can harvest 40-50 kilograms of silk cocoons. The average price of silk cocoons is 40 yuan per kilogram. Therefore, raising silkworms for one season can generate an income of 1,600-2,000 yuan, and the annual income can reach 8,000-10,000 yuan.

6. How much land is needed to raise 20 million silkworms?

One sheet of silkworm eggs can produce 30 kilograms of cocoons.

One sheet of silkworm eggs contains about 25,000 good quality eggs. One acre of mulberry garden with medium or above fertility can raise two and a half sheets of silkworm eggs a year and produce 75 kilograms of cocoons.

Silkworm seeds generally refer to mulberry silkworm seeds and tussah silkworm (wild silkworms that eat oak leaves), including original mother seeds, original original seeds, original seeds and first-generation hybrid seeds.

One sheet of silkworm seed contains 28,600 mulberry leaves. They grow slowly and silkworms are needed five times a year. Generally, they are planted in spring and harvested in the following year. Generally, one acre of land can feed one or two sheets of silkworm seed.

It takes 1,200 kilograms of mulberry leaves to raise one silkworm seed

7. How many kilograms of silk cocoons can be produced from one acre of mulberry trees?

One acre of mulberry can produce the following amount of cocoons: Generally, one acre of land can be used to grow mulberry and raise silkworms. When the mulberry leaves are good, it can raise silkworms the size of 3 sheets of paper. Each sheet of paper can produce about 45 kilograms of cocoons, which is basically two seasons a year. As far as I know, it is unlikely to raise only one season because it is related to your problem of picking mulberry leaves next year. This year's cocoon price is 48.5 yuan/kg, and the direct income is about 6,000 to 8,000 yuan.

8. How many silkworms can be raised in one acre of mulberry forest?

The number of silkworms that can be raised in one acre of mulberry forest depends on many factors, including the age, variety, number, growth conditions, etc. of the mulberry trees. Generally speaking, one acre of mulberry forest can raise about 10,000 silkworms. However, if scientific management and careful care are carried out, this number may be higher. It should be noted that the maintenance and management of mulberry trees is very important. It needs to be pruned and fertilized in time to maintain a healthy growth state.

In addition, the feeding and management of silkworms is also very important, including the design, ventilation, temperature, feed and water sources of silkworms in the silkworm room. Only by doing a good job in these aspects can we achieve the maximum effect of raising silkworms in mulberry forests.

9. How many silkworms can be raised in one acre of mulberry forest? What are the benefits of raising silkworms?

One mu of mature mulberry forest can raise silkworms for 2-4 seasons a year, raising 4-6 cocoons, each of which can produce about 50 kg of fresh cocoons. Based on the average market price of 40 yuan per kilogram this year, the output value per mu is 4×50×40=8,000 yuan, with costs of 200 yuan for silkworm seeds and 100 yuan for disinfectants, a total of 300 yuan. Mulberry gardens can be used comprehensively, such as raising chickens and intercropping peanuts to increase economic income.

10. I want to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms. How many silkworms can I raise in a year if I plant one acre of mulberry trees?

Generally, one mu of land can be used to plant mulberry and raise silkworms. If the mulberry leaves are good, it can raise silkworms that are 3 sheets of paper. Each sheet of paper can produce about 45 kilograms of cocoons. There are basically two seasons a year.
