ABSTRACT
The silkworm hybrids CSR2 × CSR4 and ND7 × CSR2 (Jayalakshmi) reared on mulberry shoots supplemented separately with dusting of nine different feed additives along with maintaining unsupplemented control showed that inclusion of 5g / 10 g flour of horse gram + grain amaranthus (50 : 50) daily once in feeding schedule recorded maximum silk gland weight, larval volume, silk gland volume, silk gland tissue somatic index and maximum leaf percentage consumed by both silkworm hybrids when provided from fourth instar up to spinning, over the unsuppplemented control.
Key words :
Bombyx mori, Feed additive, Late age, Larval attributes, SGTS1, Silkworm.
