“…It is well known that mulberry leaves provide significant amounts of vital nutrients, particularly protein and AAs [95]. According to Raghuvanshi et al [96], proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, sterols, and minerals are the primary nutrients found in mulberry leaves. The crude protein composition is generally similar to that of most legumes.…”

“…A crude protein level ranging from 15 to 28% was determined by many authors [96][97][98][99][100][101][102]. As noted by Srivastava et al [103], beyond the high concentration of crude protein (15.31-30.91%), mulberry leaves contain fat from 2.09 to 4.93%, carbohydrates from 9.70 to 29.64%, energy from 113 to 224 kcal/100 g, ash from 14.59 to 17.24%, and neutral detergent fiber from 27.60 to 36.66%.…”

The silkworm Bombyx mori, the second most varied group of insects, is a fascinating insect that belongs to the Lepidoptera species. We aimed to deepen our knowledge about the composition and significance of amino acids (AA) from the sericulture chain to fish. AAs are the most prevalent molecules throughout the growth process of silkworms. We described AAs classification, occurrence, metabolism, and functions. Online datasets revealed that the essential AAs (EAA) level in fish meal and silkworm pupae (SWP) is comparable. SWP have a high content of methionine and lysine, which are the principal limiting AAs in fish diets, indicating that SWP have nutritional potential to be added to fish diets. Additionally, an overview of the data analyzed displays that SWP have a higher protein efficiency ratio than fish meal, the classical protein-rich source (>1.19 times), and compared to soybean meal, the second-most preferred source of protein in aquaculture (>2.08 times), indicating that SWP can be considered effective for animal feeding. In this study, we provide an overview of the current knowledge concerning AAs, paying special emphasis to EAAs and explaining, to some extent, certain mechanisms and functions of these compounds, from mulberry leaves to larvae–pupae and fish diets.

Treatment wise feeding was administered to the larvae of Bombyx mori during the 4th and 5th instar. Four treatments were applied involving two, three, four and five feedings/ day. Among these, treatment T4 which provided five feedings/ day was found to be the most effective, as it recorded the lowest disease incidence (2.6%), highest weight of 10 matured larvae (39.01 g), significantly highest effective rate of rearing (97.4%), single cocoon weight (1.767 g), single shell weight (0.37 g), cocoon-shell ratio (21.23%), highest cocoon yield (16.48 kg), longest filament length (839.00 m), filament weight (0.30 g) and denier (3.22). However, with respect to cocoon yield, filament length, filament weight and denier it was found at par with treatment T3 which provided four feedings/ day (16.22 kg, 830.20 m, 0.29 g and denier 3.19, respectively). Hence, it is suggested to give fresh feed maximum times as per availability of labourers.
