The Samarinda silk sarong is a typical made using imported yarn raw materials from China. Quality mulberry plants are needed to support silkworm cultivation (sericulture). obtained by in vitro propagation techniques. purpose of this study was determine the differences quality cocoons and threads feeding cuttings. research stages consisted rearing silkworms, handling spinning. results showed tha...

The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth, Bombyx mori and being a primary producer of silk is an economically important insect. These days the silk is emerging as a resource for solving a broad range of biological problems. The silk (Abresham) is popularly known as Abresham muqriz (muqriz means cut) in Unani medicine. Its cocoons are extensively used as an ingredien...

The study aimed to revive the Sericulture in our area after three decades of absence and investigate role supplemental feeding on silk glands, larval growth, some economic traits cocoons mulberry silkworms (Bombyx mori). Larvae 5th instar fed vitamin C during their 4th instars showed a significant increase length (6.953 ± 0.248 mm). Mature larvae weight (3.690±0.129 g). Vitamin was most effecti...

Studies reveal that during processing of cocoons, natural polymers in the cocoon become sufficiently swollen under water, and depending on external ambience, climatic temperature, humidity, sericin contained does not evaporate, suffocate well water. As a result, moisture content decreases there are many breaks yarn due to poor spinning, which increases fiber waste. In order prevent these proces...
