Requirements and rules for storing mulberry silkworms' food according to their age in special silkworm boxes

\nCaring for mulberry silkworms requires careful attention to their environment and food supply. Mulberry leaves, the primary food source for silkworms, must be kept in a specific manner to ensure the health and productivity of the silkworms. The leaves should be kept in the form of branches brought from feeding mulberry trees and placed on a shelf or log inside the silkworm box. Maintaining the proper temperature and humidity levels is crucial for the well-being of the silkworms. The food should be kept at a temperature of 16-17°C and a relative humidity of 70-75%. It is essential to adapt the food to room temperature when storing it, especially if it has been exposed to cold, rain, or sunlight. The food should be stored in layers with a thickness of 45-50 cm to ensure that it remains fresh and suitable for consumption by the silkworms. Adhering to the recommended feeding schedule is also important. Providing the silkworms with the correct amount of food each day helps to regulate their growth and development. Overfeeding or underfeeding can lead to reduced viability, increased disease levels, and lower productivity of the cultivated cocoons. By following these guidelines and ensuring proper care for the mulberry silkworms, farmers can maximize the productivity and quality of their silk production.\n
