1、 Mulberry leaf

Mulberry leaves are the favorite food of silkworm babies. Because mulberry leaves contain a lot of protein, after eating it, the silk vomited by silkworms will be very tough. Moreover, mulberry leaves contain a volatile substance that can be extracted, and the silkworm can easily distinguish this smell. Even if they are far away, they will climb to the place with this smell.

2、 Other leaves

Besides mulberry leaves, silkworms can also eat the leaves of many other plants. For example, lettuce leaves, lettuce leaves, elm leaves and so on. These leaves also contain protein, which can provide nutrients for it. However, some silkworm babies do not like to eat these leaves when they are young. Their favorite food is mulberry leaves.

3、 Special feed

Now some businesses use the materials extracted from mulberry leaves to make special feed for silkworms. And this kind of feed is also very suitable for sericulture. Because it contains the same substances as mulberry leaves, and some other nutrients are added, which can help silkworm babies grow more healthily.
