How can silkworms not die? Where is the best place to put it?

For silkworm babies, I believe many people will love them. Soft and cute little guys are growing tenaciously every day. How many days does it take for silkworm eggs to hatch? How do you keep them alive? Where is the best place to keep it?

In fact, sericulture can be a hobby or a way to get rich. The purpose of sericulture is different, so naturally there will be different emphases in the specific preparation and operation. Below, we will learn and analyze the sericulture knowledge from the two major directions of "hobby sericulture" and "entrepreneurship sericulture".

"Love sericulture" operating guide

If it is out of personal interest, the most important thing is to understand the growth process of silkworm babies and take good care of their health.

1. silkworm egg hatching

Different varieties of silkworms will have different incubation times. Generally speaking, they can be divided into "over-year eggs" and "non-over-year eggs". The former will not hatch until the spring of the next year in the natural environment, while the latter will basically hatch in about 10 days.

2. Silkworm farming

1) What do babies eat?

Generally, silkworm babies will want to eat after hatching for half an hour. At this time, the breeder is the mother. She must prepare soft and juicy mulberry leaves. She can cut them into several strips with scissors and put the silkworm babies on the mulberry leaves to let them feed freely.

When the silkworm baby grows up, besides mulberry leaves, you can also feed some elm leaves and grape leaves, which should be tender!

Mulberry selection:

Young silkworms must have tender leaves, and large silkworms must add appropriate amounts of old leaves to promote silking.

The moisture on mulberry leaves should be dried, and the black and moldy mulberry leaves should not be eaten by silkworm babies.

2) Where does the baby live?

You can prepare a box with a moderate space and a lid. Just poke a few holes in the lid to let the silkworms breathe, which is good for the survival of the young silkworms.

In addition, we must ensure that the temperature of the space where the silkworm baby is located is 25℃-28℃ is the best.

(3) What is the growth process of silkworm babies?

Basically include: hatching-grow-spin silk-cocoon into pupa-cocoon into moth-male and female mating-male moth death-female moth death after laying eggs. (40-60 days)

Do you feel sad looking at it? I remember that when I raised silkworms, I would be sad for a long time every time I saw the silkworms I raised die in such a way. However, this is also the inevitable continuation of life. Many animals die after reproduction. There are two things in life: survival and reproduction. Therefore, in the maintenance of time to give these small life enough care to do it!

"Start a business sericulture" operation guide

If you want to start a business by breeding silkworms, then it is not feelings, but market factors. Because you want to profit is certainly to large-scale breeding silkworm is feasible. Then there will be more precautions in the breeding process.

1. variety selection

Large-scale breeding is definitely to choose the variety that spits more silk. Generally, it is better to choose the "production seed" that has been bred through multiple generations of hybridization. In this way, the silkworms raised are fatter and spin more silk, so they naturally earn more.

Specific can choose "farming mulberry","Greater China" and other varieties.

2. silkworm feeding

Silk has pure white, also have color, this and feeding is directly related, raise white silkworm, can feed some young silkworm feed after feeding mulberry leaves, raise color silkworm, wait for silkworm to 3-5 instar can add color silkworm feed.

Mulberry leaves and feed channels should be opened up. It is best to plant mulberry trees on several acres of land while raising silkworms. In the long run, it can effectively save costs, that is, people say "planting mulberry and raising silkworms".

3. site disinfection

Large-scale breeding is definitely to build silkworm rooms (greenhouses, cement compartments can be, about 30 square meters), which needs to prevent silkworm diseases, otherwise the loss is too great. "Xiao Te Ling" is a disinfection tool used more often by silkworm farmers at present.

In addition, in the sales channel, if you can reach an order agreement with a reliable silk company, it will be more secure. In the long run, it will be easy to form a complete production and marketing chain, thus developing a good ecological and economic environment.
