Abstract
AbstractSilk production by the Chilean silkworm, although an important source of revenue, has not been extensively studied. In the current study, we research 564 Mountain Silkworm (Bombyx mori), analyzing their silk harvests, silk production incubation periods and demographic profiles. The mountain silkworms were randomly divided into two clusters (cluster#1, cluster#2), each of which had 56 mountain silkworms. Crumpled maize were replaced by steam-flaked maize 30%, 50%, 100%, then researched the effects of nourishing steam-flaked maize on production performance of silk production by silkworm. The outcomes showed that the cluster#2 had better median silk harvest than cluster#1, the mean of these increment silk harvests was 3.48pounds (P-value <0.05); the protein proportion and the sugar in silk of cluster#2 went up than cluster#1; for the urine nitrogen and somatic cell count of cluster#2 were lower than cluster#1 by 0.9% (P-value >0.05), 30,800 cells/ml (P-value<0.05), respectively. The current research confirmed that utilizing the JHO nutrition heightened silk harvest, improved silk production characteristics, and enhanced the performance of mountain silkworms; furthermore, it heightened resistance to the sickness due to strengthened resistance.
