ABSTRACT Effect of mulberry leaves enrichment with milk powder and Nival solution (50ppm and 100ppm concentrations on growth and characteristics of cocoon silkworm Bombyx mori L. were studied. Silkworm larvae were fed on fresh mulberry leaves of shin-ichinose enriched with supplementary nutrients frombeginning of 1 st instar until end of 5st instar, once a day. Fresh mulberry leaves technique in sericulture. Results showed that indicated that 100ppm food supplement is the optimum dose for the better performance of rearing and reeling parameters of silkworm Bombyx mori. The present study was only an attempt to assess the influence of Milk Powder and Nival solution which is used extensively as a food additive by virtue of its nutritive and medicinal properties. Screening of such growth promoting tonics that are readily available in the market may prove to be useful in augmenting commercial silk production.
