Overview

Study demonstrates that alternative feeds affect the growth of silkworms, suggesting broiler chicken feed could enhance development.

Key Points

  • Silkworms fed a combination of broiler chicken feed and mulberry leaves had the best growth outcomes.
  • Survival rates were notably high at 80% for silkworms on the recommended combined feed treatment P6.
  • Alternative feeds like castor leaves and cassava leaves showed no survival in silkworms, indicating their unsuitability.
  • Broiler chicken feed combined with mulberry leaves yielded results comparable to the control in terms of feed consumption and growth.
