Silkworms are one type of live food that has begun to be intensified in their cultivation activities Indonesia. This study aimed determine the effect feeding/dried substrate different doses on growth performance silkworms. The second aim was appropriate dose dry for silkworm cultivation. used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments media at 114 g/m2 (D10), 228 (D20), and 324 (D30) dan without as control (D0). With 3 replications each treatment. A starter obtained from 30 days. research conducted Warung Benih Farm Depok 33 Data were analyzed using Analysis Variance (ANOVA) Duncan's further test confidence level 0.05. results showed absolute weight growth, population best productivity treatment addition an biomass 48.67 g, 59458 individuals, & 0.556 was/cycle.
