SILKWORM BREEDING

Silkworms feed exclusively on mulberry leaves (Morus alba) in large quantities.

They develop in a warm and humid environment On large shelves protected from light and air flow.

At the end of a month and four successive moults, the silkworms multiplied their weight by 10,000; They then lose their appetite and start weaving a cocoon (about 21 days) to prepare their metamorphoses.
