How does sericulture done

Expert Answer
Process of sericulture:
- A female silkmoth lays hundreds of eggs at a time.
- The eggs laid by the silkmoth are stored on cloth or paper and kept under hygienic and appropriate conditions.
- The eggs are warmed to a suitable temperature for larvae to hatch from eggs.
- The larvae feed on mulberry leaves kept in clean bamboo trays and increase enormously in size.
- After 25-30 days, the caterpillars are moved to a tiny chamber of bamboo in the tray to spin cocoons.
- The caterpillar or silkworm spins the cocoon inside which develops the silk moth.
- The cocoons are kept under the sun or boiled or exposed to steam.
- The silk fibres separate out from the cocoon using special machines. This process is called reeling the silk.
- Silk fibres are then spun into silk threads, which are woven into silk cloth by weavers.
