Abstract
Mulberry is the only sole food of silkworm Bombyx mori , which influences
on the physio-biochemical properties of the larva. In this present
investigation, the effect of mulberry leaf enriched with Aloe vera at
different concentrations viz., 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% on biomolecules and
economic parameters of silkworm hybrid FC1 × FC2 were recorded. The results of the study disclosed
that the larvae supplemented with Aloe vera at 0.5% concentration
registered maximum protein and carbohydrate content in fat body and mid gut
over respective control batches. Similarly, economic parameters viz.,
larval weight, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, filament length,
filament weight and raw silk percentage were recorded highest at the same
concentration compared with rest of the treated groups as well as control.
