Abstract:Egg viability, hatchability, and development are significant factors in the natural silk industry. Life cycle modification is an important aspect that must be considered to perform effective and efficient mass-rearing and quality control. This study aimed to improve the mass rearing efficiency of Samia chintya ricini through a life cycle modification technique by refrigeration. The study was conducted by storing S. c. ricini eggs in the refrigerator at a temperature of 5°C for one to seven days. Observations w… Show more
