Abstract

Silkworm need higher protein & probiotic in their diet to help its body repair cell & to make fiber exclusively at V instar. Nutrition of silkworm is sole factor which at most individually quality and quantity of silk (Laskar and Datta, 2000). Hence in the present investigation an attempt is made to study the impact fortification of castor leaf with certain food probiotic microorganism Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on some larval weight & larval length of Eri silkworm Philosamia ricini. Data is collected and subjected to the statical analysis. The results indicate that there is a better larval weight and larval length when yeast (probiotic) were used. Silkworm were fed 3 different doses of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) along with castor leaf (100ppm, 200ppm, 300ppm foliar spray) and one control at Once a day , Twice a day and Trice a day.
