CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The first step in raising silkworms (how to do the first step in raising silkworms)

1. A beginner’s guide to silkworm farming?

1. Breeding for beginners

When a novice raises silkworms, he needs to prepare a clean, odor-free ordinary paper box or wooden box, then put the purchased silkworm eggs into the paper box, and place the box in a greenhouse that can regulate the temperature. The indoor temperature should be controlled between 21-29 degrees to promote rapid hatching of the silkworm eggs.

2. Feed mulberry leaves

Silkworms grow very fast and have a high demand for mulberry leaves. When raising silkworms, you need to prepare fresh, pesticide-free green mulberry leaves. Use a sharp knife to cut the mulberry leaves into small pieces, and then spread them on the box. Allow the silkworms to eat freely, and feed them mulberry leaves every 3-4 hours to ensure that there is enough food.

3. Suitable environment

Silkworms live in a clean environment. When raising silkworms, if the environment is too dirty, the silkworms will be infected with diseases. The boxes need to be cleaned every 2-3 days. The feces and leftover mulberry leaves in the boxes can be cleaned out, and the windows should be opened from morning to afternoon every day to ventilate the silkworms.

4. Feeding methods

When raising silkworms, the indoor temperature needs to be controlled at around 25 degrees, which is the optimal growth temperature. Silkworms of different ages like to eat different types of mulberry leaves. Silkworms aged 1-3 like to eat tenderer mulberry leaves, while silkworms aged 4-5 can be fed older mulberry leaves, which is beneficial for mulberry to absorb cellulose to spin silk and make cocoons.

2. How to raise silkworms with complete set of techniques?

1. To raise silkworms, you must first buy silkworm seeds, which are silkworm eggs. This product has the ability to hatch silkworms. Every spring, when the temperature remains around 20 degrees, silkworms will hatch from silkworms.

2. After the silkworms hatch, you need to pick mulberry leaves to feed them. The chewing ability of silkworms is not that strong, so you should choose relatively tender mulberry leaves. There should be no water or pesticides on the mulberry leaves.

3. Silkworms can be raised in paper boxes. If the scale is larger, they can be raised in special bamboo boxes, which must be breathable, hygienic and clean.

4. Raising silkworms has relatively high requirements for the environment. There must be no fumes, no mosquitoes, no mosquito coils, no spraying of pesticides, and no dust. Otherwise, the survival rate of silkworms will be affected.

5. The process of raising silkworms is very hard. Silkworms need to eat mulberry leaves day and night, and as they grow older, the amount of mulberry leaves they eat increases.

6. Silkworms usually spin cocoons in about a month. Before spinning cocoons, we need to build a frame and let them go up the mountain. It will take about two or three days for the silkworms to spin a snow-white cocoon.

3. What are the steps for ancient people to raise silkworms and produce silk?

First, process the cocoons. When the silkworms stop eating mulberry leaves, they will spin silk and make cocoons. The cocoons made at this time are our raw materials. We need to gently tear off some of the rocks on the cocoons with our hands. This can avoid interference from the chaos in the prenatal check-up.

Second, prepare boiling water. After boiling the water, throw all the cocoons into the boiling water. This process will scald the silkworm pupae inside to death. At the same time, it is also beneficial for our silk reeling work.

The third step is to take a small broom and stir the pot vigorously in a certain direction. The more you move your feet, the greater the chance that the silk threads in the cocoon will separate. When your feet are frozen to a certain degree, you will find that the head of a silk thread slowly falls out. This is the beginning of our most important silk reeling.

Fourth, we will wind the end of the silk thread we have found on the winding board. Then we can wind the silk thread. When we are looking for the thread, we must move lightly. Otherwise, if the force is too strong, the silk thread will be broken.

Fifth, we can directly use the drawn silk thread to weave silk. Generally speaking, the silk thread on a silk cocoon is very long, about 900 to 1500 meters long.

1. Steps of silkworm rearing

(1) From silkworm ants to silkworm babies

Suitable temperature: 20-25℃.

Time: 2-3 days to hatch.

Collecting ants: The young silkworms will crawl out of the egg shell like ants. Use very light gestures to collect them and lead them to the tender leaves. Note: The silkworm eggs need to be kept in a ventilated and dark place during the incubation period.

(2) Feeding silkworms

The living habits of silkworms are: sleep when full, eat when awake;

Living environment: Plastic or wooden flat box,

Note: The mulberry leaves should be fresh. You can also collect them in a plastic bag each time, use a few leaves every day, and sprinkle some water on the rest and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. The collected leaves will have some dust, so you can wash them and dry them. You must dry them, otherwise the young or adult silkworms will have diarrhea if they eat them.

(3) Silkworms spin silk and make cocoons

Molting: After molting once, the larvae become the second-instar larvae. Each time the larvae molts, they become one year older. They molt a total of four times.

Cocooning: 7-8 days after molting four times, the owl stops eating mulberry leaves, its body starts to shine, and it begins to look for a suitable place to start cocooning.

Note: Put some supporting objects in the silkworm box to help the silkworms make cocoons.

(4) About silkworm droppings

Silkworm feces, also known as silkworm sand, has the effects of curing dampness, itching, removing internal heat, removing rheumatism, and improving hearing and eyesight. Many elderly people dry it and make it into pillows for their newborn babies to sleep on. Silkworm feces, black particles, can be used as medicine in traditional Chinese medicine and are also good nutrients for plants.

(5) Silkworms break out of their cocoons

The silkworm sheds its skin for the final time (fifth time) in the cocoon and becomes a pupa. After about 7-10 days, the pupa turns into a silkworm moth and emerges from the cocoon.

Note: The fat one is the mother of the silkworm, and the thin one is the father of the silkworm. Let the father and mother of the silkworm live together, and you can see a lot of silkworm eggs the next day. If you protect them well, these silkworm eggs can hatch again in the spring of the next year.

5. What is the sequence of steps used by ancient people to raise silkworms and produce silk?

Before silkworms were raised in captivity, the ancients knew how to use wild silkworm cocoons to draw silk. It is still difficult to determine when they began to raise silkworms artificially. However, as early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, sericulture had already made great progress, which shows that the development of artificial silkworm breeding was long before the Yin and Zhou dynasties.

From ancient documents, we can see direct records about sericulture. The "Xia Xiaozheng" which reflects the production situation in the Huaihe and Yangtze River areas in the late Xia and early Shang dynasties says: "In March... mulberry trees were cultivated... concubines and daughters began to raise silkworms." This means that in the third month of the Xia calendar (the fourth month of the lunar calendar), mulberry trees should be trimmed and women began to raise silkworms. The oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty not only contain words such as silkworm, mulberry, silk, and silk, but also some complete oracle inscriptions related to silk production.

First, process the cocoons. When the silkworms stop eating mulberry leaves, they will spin silk and make cocoons. The cocoons made at this time are the raw materials. The ancients would gently tear off the rocks on the cocoons with their hands.

Second, you need to prepare the water. After boiling the water, throw all the cocoons into the boiling water. This process will scald the silkworm pupae to death. At the same time, it is also conducive to the spinning work.

The third step is to take a small broom and stir the pot vigorously in a certain direction. The more times you stir, the greater the chance that the silk threads in the cocoon will separate. When you stir to a certain degree, you will find that the head of a silk thread slowly falls out. This is the beginning of the most important process of spinning.

Fourth, wind the end of the silk thread you have found on the winding board. Then you can start winding the silk thread. When you are searching, you must move lightly. Otherwise, if you use too much force, the silk thread will be broken.

Fifth, the drawn silk thread can be used directly for silk weaving. Generally, the silk thread on a silk cocoon is very long, about 900 to 1500 meters. The working people in ancient China used this method to make high-end silk that was both good quality and cheap.

6. What is the process of raising silkworms?

step

(1) Place the silkworm eggs in a clean and odor-free silkworm rearing box. From the time the silkworm eggs leave the warehouse, they will naturally hatch into larvae in about 11 days (including the shipping time) at room temperature of 21-29°C.

(2) The larvae begin to have an appetite about 40 minutes after hatching, and can be fed. You can cut the mulberry leaves into small pieces with a knife and put them in the silkworm box. The silkworms will actively climb onto the mulberry leaves to eat. For 1-3 day old silkworms, you can choose tender mulberry leaves, and for 4-5 year old silkworms, you can use ordinary mulberry leaves.

(3) Silkworms grow well in an environment of 22-29°C, with the optimum temperature being around 27°C. Feeding can be done in the morning or at noon.
