1. New technologies and methods for silkworm breeding?

1. Preparation

Before raising silkworms, be sure to prepare a clean, odor-free cardboard box, and then poke some small holes on the top of the box to facilitate ventilation.

2. Incubation

Place the silkworm eggs in a carton at a temperature of 21-29°C. The incubation time is generally about 11 days.

3. Feeding

(1) When the silkworms are about to hatch, put an appropriate amount of fresh mulberry leaves into the cardboard box for the silkworms to eat.

(2) When silkworms are in the young stage, they can be fed with fresh and tender mulberry leaves. When they are in the adult stage, they can be fed with ordinary mulberry leaves.

(3) Before feeding, be sure to check the mulberry leaves carefully to pick out diseased, moldy, and insect-infested leaves, and make sure there is no water on the leaves, otherwise the silkworms will easily suffer from diarrhea after eating them.

4. Cleaning

(1) The old mulberry leaves in the cartons must be removed regularly and replaced with fresh mulberry leaves. All silkworm feces in the cartons must be cleaned up.

(2) When changing mulberry leaves to clean the feces, you must use a brush. The silkworms on the old mulberry leaves can be gently swept onto the new mulberry leaves, and then the silkworm feces and old mulberry leaves in the cardboard box are cleaned, and finally the new mulberry leaves are put into the cardboard box.

(3) If there are dead silkworms in the carton, be sure to clean it up immediately to prevent other silkworms from being infected.

2. How to raise silkworms?

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.

3. How to raise silkworms?

Step/Method 1

Prepare a cardboard box of corresponding size according to the number of silkworms you raise, put A4 paper on the bottom of the box, and place a board on the box to prevent mice from eating the silkworms.

Step/Method 2

Put the silkworm eggs into a box, place the box in a place with suitable temperature, and sprinkle a little water in the box to increase the hatching rate.

Step/Method 3

Use scissors to cut the fresh mulberry leaves into pieces and feed them to the silkworms. Be sure to wipe the water off the selected mulberry leaves with a rag, otherwise the silkworms will get sick after eating them.

Step/Method 4

When the silkworms grow up and are about to spin silk, they will not like to eat much. At the same time, their feces will change from dark green to turquoise. You can put the silkworms that are about to spin silk in a box. Do not open the lid frequently and wait patiently for them to turn into silkworm pupae.

4. How to raise silkworms at home?

1. To raise silkworms at home, you need to prepare a paper box or a wooden box and put a layer of cotton wool in it.

2. Place the silkworm eggs in a container and control the ambient temperature at around 20 degrees to allow them to hatch quickly.

3. After the silkworms hatch, they need to be fed fresh mulberry leaves once a day.

4. Place the young silkworms in a ventilated and semi-shaded environment.

5. 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.

6. How to learn the complete set of techniques for raising silkworms?

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.
