Abstract
The present investigation was conducted to
study the rearing performance of BFC1×BFC10 double hybrid silkworm with
reference to FC1×FC2 silkworm in laboratory conditions to
determine the pre- and post-cocoon parameters.
The larval parameters results revealed that there was no significant difference
between BFC1×BFC10 larvae to FC1×FC2 silkworm as well as adult fecundity.
Further, cocoon parameters selected hybrid results were at par with FC1×FC2
cocoons. The reeling parameters such as average filament length, non-breakable
filament length, denier, and filament weight results were at par with FC1×FC2
control. These findings indicate that, the BFC1×BFC10 double hybrid silkworm
could be recommended for commercial rearing in western Maharashtra region as
this area climatic conditions are similar to the southern Indian states like
Karnataka.
