Indoor feeding method for wild silkworm

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for cultivating wild silkworm in the room. The wild silkworm is put into cultivating device and the temperature and humidity are also controlled according to silkworm age. The invention is characterized in that said cultivating device is equipped with cover and air- change port on the wall, the device is provided with mimeograph paper, and the cultivating method comprises: (1) preparing branch: collecting mulberry twigs with 4- 6 mulberry leaf, covering cut on branch with water cotton ball, and covering outer side with water- proof layer; (2) collecting larva; (3) feeding with mulberry leaves; (4) removing sand; (5) cocooning. The invention is suitable for the growth habit of wild silkworm, realizes cultivation in the room and guarantees survival rate, and it greatly saves working time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for raising animals, in particular to an indoor method for raising wild silkworms. Background technique [0002] The wild silkworm (Bombyx mandarina M.) belongs to Lepidoptera insects, and it has a common origin with the silkworm. After a long period of natural selection, the wild silkworm has formed a population with regional characteristics. At present, the research hotspots of wild silkworm are mainly: ecological research, research of control methods, evolution research and transgenic research of resistance gene. Due to long-term natural selection, the existing wild silkworm populations are much more resistant to adverse environments than silkworms, and wild silkworms and silkworms can mate and breed fertile offspring. With the continuous research on the resistance of silkworms In recent years, wild silkworm has attracted great attention in the field of seriology as a comparative material for the study of silkworm ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Because wild silkworms are wild insects, when the above method is used for indoor breeding, the following problems will be encountered: (1) the hatching time of wild silkworms is quite different, and the collection rate of ants is low by adopting the method for collecting ants concentrated above, or it may cause ants The hunger of silkworms affects the physique of ant silkworms; (2) The larvae of wild silkworms have strong crawling ability and will climb out of the breeding containers of silkworms, and during mating, adults will fly indoors and cannot collect eggs; (3) Wild silkworms and Bombyx mori is different, and does not concentrate on eating regularly. If the existing mulberry leaves or broken mulberry leaves are used to feed, the mulberry leaves will quickly dehydrate and dry, making wild silkworms unable to eat normally; As a result, the mortality rate has risen sharply, so it is impossible to use the existing sand removal method with bare hands. At the same time, wild silkworms do not eat regularly and intensively, so it is difficult to use the net removal method to remove sand

[0006] Due to the above problems, the results of the existing experiments on raising wild silkworms indoors are not satisfactory, which affects the research on wild silkworms.
