1. 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.

2. The whole process of silkworm rearing?

There are no mulberry leaves in Liaoning, so silkworms are raised mainly on oak leaves, which are called oak silkworms. In spring, silkworms emerge from their cocoons. After mating, they lay eggs, which become small silkworms after a period of time. Silkworm farmers put the small silkworms on oak trees, which is called releasing them into the wild. There must be someone to guard the release to prevent birds from eating the larvae. After more than ten days, the larvae have become mature silkworms. They become silkworms in about two months. When autumn comes, the silkworms spin silk and become pupae, and then enter the next stage of reincarnation.

3. 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.

4. What is the whole process of silkworm rearing?

Silkworms are economic insects that spin silk and make cocoons. They are mainly used to produce silk, and some of them are used as medicine. They have high economic value. Whether it is for silk or medicine, there is a very broad market and the breeding benefits are considerable. So, what are the steps of raising silkworms?

The growth of silkworms can be divided into five stages: eggs, larvae, mature silkworms, cocoons, and moths. Under normal feeding conditions, it takes 20 to 28 days for the larvae to hatch and eat mulberry leaves, spin silk and make cocoons; it takes about 3 days to spin silk and make cocoons; it takes another 1 to 2 days to pupate; after 10 to 15 days of pupal stage, it will turn into a moth, and the total process is about 40 days, and the moth will become an adult.

5. What is the whole process of silkworm rearing?

1. Hatching silkworm eggs: Place the silkworm eggs in a warm place such as an electric blanket or pocket.

2. Feeding food: Provide silkworms with fresh, dry mulberry leaves once a day.

3. Clean regularly: Clean the paper box once a day to remove any remaining food and feces.

4. Note: When the silkworms are making cocoons, put some dry branches and bamboo strips in the paper box.
