Cutting leaves to feed silkworms has its finer points; seeking advantages and avoiding harm is key
The young silkworm stage (instars 1-3) is a critical period in silkworm rearing. Only careful feeding and scientific management can lay a good foundation for disease-free, high-yield production in the later stages. In rural silkworm rearing, some silkworm farmers, fearing trouble and wanting to save effort, still mostly use whole leaves to feed silkworms during the young silkworm stage, resulting in uneven development of the young silkworms and serious waste of mulberry leaves. (1) Avoiding loss of silkworms: During the young silkworm stage, especially for 1st-instar silkworms, when whole leaves are used, the leftover mulberry leaves that the silkworms have not finished eating often shrivel and curl into tube shapes, wrapping some silkworms inside them, while young silkworms move
