This year’s first batch of full-age artificial feed sericulture in Xiangzhou, Guangxi was a complete success
On March 28, in the greenhouse standardized silkworm room of the Silkworm Artificial Feed Breeding Demonstration Base of Guangxi Yingchun Silk Co., Ltd., staff were harvesting the first harvest of the year. The batch of white silkworm cocoons marks another step forward based on the success of the artificial feed sericulture project in Xiangzhou County last year.
“This is the cocoon we use to raise silkworms with artificial feed. Feeding silkworms with feed saves a lot of time and energy. In the past, we had to feed mulberry leaves several times a day. Now we use feed to raise them. We only feed them once for 1 to 3-year-olds and twice for 4-year-olds. Feed three times at 5 years of age. It is not affected by climate and weather and can be raised all year round. The yield of each cocoon like this is about 80 kilograms. This time we raised 1.5 cocoons and the expected yield is 120 kilograms. Feed feeding The silkworm cocoons are white and strong,” technician Qin Muzhen said happily.
Artificial feed sericulture is a new model that replaces traditional mulberry leaf breeding and realizes batch artificial breeding. It has the advantages of not being subject to seasonal restrictions, saving labor, less frequent feeding, and reducing silkworm diseases. The first batch of artificial feed silkworms raised in this year’s artificial feed sericulture project in Xiangzhou County collected ants on February 23 and began to form clusters and cocoons on March 20; the variety is Guisan No. 5, which is a special variety for artificial feed. Since entering the breeding stage in late February this year, the entire growth process of silkworms has been in good condition.
With the successful trial of the artificial feed sericulture project, the traditional sericulture industry will be promoted to transformation and upgrading, so that sericulture will no longer be restricted by season and scale, and can be done all year round Chemical breeding can help farmers stabilize and increase their income.
