The Effect Of Copper Nanoparticles (CUNPS) In Food On The Feed Efficacy Of The Silkworm, Bombyx Mori (L.) (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bombyx mori, the silkworm, is a significant economic insect as well as a tool for converting leaf protein into silk protein. The purpose of this study was to compare the feed efficacy of silkworm B. mori (V instar larvae) fed by V-1 mulberry (Morus indica) leaves and different concentrations of Copper nanoparticles treated V-1 mulberry (Morus indica) leaves to physiological parameters such as Food Consumption (FC), Food Utilization (FU), Approximate Digestibility (AD), Consumption Index (CI), and Co-efficient of Food Utilization (CFU). Green synthesis of Copper nanoparticles employing Copper precursor (CuSo4) and Morus indica leaf extract as a decrease and stabilize agent. The larvae were exposed to varied concentration (25 %, 50 %, 75 %, & 100 %) of produced Copper nanoparticles. The feed efficiency of larva (5th instar) was found to be 25 % higher in the Copper nanoparticles treated group than in the control and additional treated groups (50%, 75%, and 100%) in the current study. According to this study, Copper nanoparticles have some growth stimulating action and can be employed to boost silk give up in marketable silkworm rearing with reference to Sericulture.
