Why does sericulture always get sick?

The first reason is that the weather has changed, and the weather is hot and cold. The second reason is that there is something wrong with mulberry leaves, they are not fresh, or there is water on them. The third reason is that the silkworm baby has diarrhea or pathological changes, and the silkworm itself has problems. The fourth reason is that the containers containing young silkworms have pungent smell, which stimulates silkworms and affects their growth.

1, mulberry leaf preservation method:

The mulberry leaves brought back can be kept in the refrigerator for about 7 days. When feeding, take out the mulberry leaves and leave them at room temperature for about 10 minutes before feeding. If the mulberry leaves are stained with dew, they need to be dried before feeding.

2. The importance of temperature:

Silkworm is a temperature-changing animal, and its body temperature is controlled by the temperature of the feeding environment. It is required to keep the whole age at 25 ~ 30℃, but the requirements for external temperature are different at different stages. Generally, the requirements for the young silkworm stage are higher, while the requirements for the big silkworm stage are lower.

3, the importance of humidity:

The main function of humidity on sericulture is to keep mulberry leaves fresh. When we were young, we should pay more attention to keeping the humidity of sericulture environment, because we eat less mulberry leaves, which are tender. We can cover the silkworm box with a wet cloth. When you are a big silkworm, as long as the silkworm rearing environment is not particularly dry.

4, the importance of oxygen:

The growth and development of silkworm babies need oxygen as much as human beings, so it is impossible to completely seal the silkworm baby feeding box.

Tips for feeding silkworm babies

1. Silkworm babies should not be exposed to irritating gases, such as mosquito-repellent incense and toilet water.

2, can't put the silkworm baby in the sun for a long time, so it is easy to cause the death of the silkworm baby.

3, you can't often touch the silkworm baby with your hands, so the silkworm baby is easy to get sick with bacteria.

Wash the mulberry leaves for the silkworm baby, but be sure to dry the water after washing, and don't let the silkworm baby touch the water, or it will die.

5. If the silkworm baby dies abnormally, it should be cleaned up immediately. After taking out healthy silkworm babies, disinfect the feeding box with boiling water.

6. If the mulberry leaves turn black or dry, they can't be used any more.
