Leaf quality: -
Quality of mulberry leaf in addition to proper maintenance of temperature/humidity plays significant role in the development of healthy silkworm.
Leaf quality plays an important role in the production of quality cocoons. The young age worms are fed with tender, succulent leaves which contain sugar, less amount of fibre, starch but, high moisture and protein that are suitable for chawki worms. Hence, the top tender leaves of mulberry plant are used to feed the young age worms. The late age worms are fed with matured leafs available at the bottom of the mulberry trees.
The leaf during its feeding time should not contain dust particles or water droplets on the surface of leaf. Disease attacked, wrinkled, weak leaves, poor quality leaves should not be fed to the worms. Feeding bottom matured leaves to chawki worms, tender leaves to mature worms should be avoided.
Leaf requirement:
Silkworm attains nearly 10,000 times of weight starting from hatching to spinning stage, therefore, feeding quality leaf plays an important role in the development of silkworm.
Leaf Requirement (about 400 eggs per DFL’s)
S.No.---.Silkworm Stage.---.Quantity of mulberry leaf
Required (approx.) (Kgs)
1)1st Instar. ---. 2-4
2)2nd Instar. ---. 4-8
3)3rd Instar. ---. 30-40
4)4th Instar. ---. 80-90
5)5th Instar ---.600-650
The requirement of leaf will differ from race to race. The consumption of leaf also varies with season. During summer the quantity of leaf required will be a little higher since, drying of leaf will be faster hence additional feeding may be required.
I hope this will help pls mark me as the brainliest
