DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The application takes “broad-spectrum bacteriostasis, silkworm safety and easy source” as the core design principle, discloses common and low-cost herbal medicines, and enhances the disinfection effect on silkworm seats through compound cooperation. The herbal medicines are tested to be free of acute toxicity and food rejection to silkworm larvae (1-5 instars), and the cost is only 1 / 3-1 / 2 of that of the existing chemical disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite and peroxoacetic acid). In particular, the application of the herbal compound formula to silkworm seat bacterial disease pathogen disinfection does not limit the application of silk products in the medical field.

[0016] The technical progress of the application is illustrated by specific experiments. The herbal medicines used are all commercially available products, which meet the conventional requirements of traditional Chinese medicines. The specific preparation operation and silkworm breeding method are conventional technologies.

[0017] Wormwood (dry product) has very low cost, and the annual yield of dry product per mu is more than 500 kg, and the unit price is about 2 yuan / kg; dandelion (dry product of whole grass) is large-scale planted, and the unit price of dry product is about 3 yuan / kg; honeysuckle (dry product of flower bud) is large-scale planted, and the unit price of dry product is about 8 yuan / kg (much lower than other antibacterial traditional Chinese medicines); Chinese cork tree (dry product of tree bark, silk) can be recycled to collect tree bark (without damaging trees), and the unit price of dry product is about 10 yuan / kg; sophora flavescens (dry product of root, slice) can be planted on marginal land, and the unit price of dry product is about 6 yuan / kg.

[0018] Embodiment Two practical formulations suitable for different silkworm seat scenes The mass ratio of wormwood, dandelion, honeysuckle, Chinese cork tree and sophora flavescens is 30:25:20:15:10.

[0019] 1000 g of the above-mentioned traditional Chinese medicines are weighed according to the proportion, crushed into coarse powder (particle diameter 1-2 mm), 10 L of water is added, soaked for 30 minutes, boiled with large fire, then transferred to small fire and boiled for 40 minutes, avoid paste at the bottom during the process, turn off the fire and stand for 15 minutes, filter twice with gauze (80 meshes) to remove the dregs, and about 8 L of decoction is obtained, then dilute with water according to the mass ratio of 1:1 after natural cooling to room temperature, and then pour into a sprayer for use. The prepared silkworm seat spray disinfectant is suitable for 1-3 instar silkworms, and the dosage is 15 mL / m 2.

[0020] Artemisia, dandelion, honeysuckle, Chinese cork tree, Sophora flavescens were crushed into fine powder (100 mesh); after mixing uniformly according to the proportion, it was put into an iron pan and fried for 10 minutes (the temperature was controlled at 65 DEG C), and then it was cooled naturally and stored in a sealed bag. The prepared silkworm seat dry powder disinfectant is suitable for 4-5 age large silkworms; when used, it is directly and uniformly applied on the surface of the silkworm seat, and 6g per square meter of silkworm seat is applied.

[0021] Method for use: Spray decoction: used after cleaning the silkworm seat and before feeding, used for 1 age silkworms, once every 2 days to the end of 3 age; Dry powder disinfectant: used for 4 age silkworms, 5 age 3 days each once, fed after 30 minutes after application to avoid silkworms eating too much dry powder.

[0022] After the compound formula spray or application of the application for 24 hours, the silkworms have no death, no deformity and normal feeding, which indicates that the formula is safe.

[0023] Comparison of existing main disinfection methods (florfenicol, bleaching powder, lime powder).

[0024] 20% florfenicol soluble powder is used, 0.5g of the powder is added into 10L of clean water and stirred until completely dissolved, the liquid is filled into a small sprayer, and the silkworm seat is uniformly sprayed, which is suitable for 3-5 age, 15mL / m 2 , used for 3 age silkworms, once every 3 days to the end of 5 age.

[0025] 25% effective chlorine bleaching powder is used, and a water solution containing 1% is configured, the liquid is filled into a small sprayer, and the silkworm seat is uniformly sprayed and disinfected, 15mL / m 2 , used for 3 age silkworms, once every 2 days to the end of 5 age.

[0026] Before feeding mulberry, fresh lime powder is evenly scattered on the silkworm seat, and the silkworm net is added, and then the silkworms are normally fed after climbing onto the net; 8g per square meter of silkworm seat is applied, and the silkworms are used once at 3 age, 4 age and 5 age respectively.

[0027] The existing traditional Chinese medicine disinfection is mainly single "bacteriostatic" function, the formula combines "volatile component space disinfection + contact bacteriostasis + hygroscopic component to improve the environment", and solves the problems of bacteria survival, transmission and breeding; moreover, the application avoids high-cost varieties such as traditional antibacterial traditional Chinese medicine, and selects "field easy-to-get type" herbs such as Artemisia and dandelion, so that the cost of per mu of silkworm and mulberry can be controlled within 20 yuan; in particular, the compound of the application avoids stimulating the digestive tract of silkworms and ensures the feeding enthusiasm of silkworms.

[0028] Example: The silkworm variety "Jingsong × Haoyue" was used. Each area was reared on one sheet (30,000 silkworms, divided into 50 sheets). The mulberry variety was Yu 711. The experiment was conducted during the autumn silkworm season of 2025 at Jiayuan Sericulture Farm, Gujin Village, Tangyang Town, Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province. The criteria for identifying bacterial diseases were based on the symptoms of diseased silkworms, including shortened body length, loss of appetite, loose excrement, and watermarks on the tail. The incidence rate was recorded per sheet (bacterial diseased silkworms / total number of silkworms). Parallel experiments were conducted in each group.

[0029] Table 1. Results of the incidence rate survey

[0030] Note: Existing medications are not suitable for treating very small silkworms.

[0031] Comparative Example 1 Referring to the example, the mass ratio of Artemisia argyi, dandelion, honeysuckle, Phellodendron amurense, and Sophora flavescens was 25:30:10:20:15. After the first spray disinfection, it was found that this formula affected the feeding of silkworms, so it was abandoned and the traditional method was used instead.

[0032] Comparative Example 2 Referring to the example, except that dandelion was replaced with Isatis tinctoria, the rest remained the same; the incidence of bacterial disease was 2.7-3.3%.

[0033] Comparative Example 3 Referring to the example, Sophora flavescens was omitted, and the mass ratio of Artemisia argyi, Taraxacum mongolicum, Lonicera japonica, Phellodendron chinense, and Sophora flavescens was 35:30:20:15, with the rest being the same; the incidence rate of bacterial disease was 2.5-3.1%.

[0034] Comparative Example 4 Referring to the example, the first three instar silkworms were also initially treated with a dry powder disinfectant for the silkworm bed, with 3g applied per square meter of the silkworm bed. However, it was found that the powder affected the silkworms' feeding, so the method was abandoned and replaced with the traditional method.

[0035] Comparative Example 5 Referring to the example, 4-5 instar silkworms also used spray disinfectant decoction, and the rest was the same; the incidence of bacterial disease was 2.1-2.7%.

[0036] This invention's compound formula can disrupt bacterial cell membranes while simultaneously absorbing moisture and preventing dampness, reducing the environment conducive to bacterial growth on silkworm beds. It has a strong inhibitory effect on the main pathogens of silkworm bed bacterial diseases, is easily absorbed by the silkworm bed, avoids irritating the silkworm's digestive tract, exhibits high stability, and can also mildly repel silkworm bed pests such as mites, reducing the spread of bacteria carried by pests. This invention solves the problems of antibiotic residues or poor efficacy in existing drug treatments, and further addresses the issue that existing methods cannot meet the production environment requirements of medical aesthetics.
