Application Methods of Baijiu in Sericulture Production
Baijiu is made by fermenting grain or certain fruits, has a bactericidal effect, and is commonly used as a disinfectant, cleaning agent and preservative. At the same time, it is also a traditional Chinese medicine that can promote blood circulation, lift the spirits and enhance the action of medicines, and is known as the "chief of a hundred medicines." Therefore it is also widely used in @#@250@#@ industry, both preventing disease and increasing yield.
1. Egg surface disinfection. Soak silkworm eggs in 60-proof baijiu, and after about 60-70 seconds immediately remove them, shake off the excess liquid, spread out the silkworm eggs and let them hatch. This allows the ants to emerge earlier, and the ants emerge uniformly, grow robustly and suffer fewer diseases.
2. Mulberry leaf surface disinfection. Add 50 grams of baijiu to 500 grams of cold boiled water and evenly spray it on 15 kilograms of mulberry leaves; after they dry slightly (about 10-20 minutes) feed them to the silkworms. It has an inhibitory and killing effect on pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time, it can also improve the temperature and humidity environment of the silkworm room. If dew-covered leaves are picked in the morning or rain-soaked leaves are collected after rain, they can be directly sprayed with baijiu.
3. Silkworm bed disinfection. Spraying baijiu around the silkworm bed can purify the environment and drive away mosquitoes and flies.
4. Harmonizing various medicines and enhancing drug efficacy. Add 250 milligrams of chloramphenicol to 50 grams of baijiu, 50 grams of fresh lime and 500 grams of cold boiled water to make a suspension and feed it to the silkworms. It has a special effect in treating bacterial diseases, and is clearly superior to pure chloramphenicol in treating viral diseases.
Use 2000 grams of 50-60-proof baijiu to soak 30 grams of garlic, 15 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, 12 grams of earthworm, 10 grams of Epimedium, 10 grams of Isatis root, 8 grams of Coptis chinensis, 8 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 8 grams of Phellodendron amurense, 8 grams of Gentiana scabra, 6 grams of Angelica sinensis, 6 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 6 grams of mulberry mistletoe and 6 grams of licorice for more than 10 days, then feed it to the silkworms. It can effectively inhibit and treat cytoplasmic polyhedrosis, densonucleosis and viral softening disease.
