The benefits of adding medicinal plant extracts into the diet of silkworms (Bombyx mori L.) to improve their nutrition, enhance the quality and value of the silk they produce. Since silkworms play a crucial role in the sericulture industry, their diet directly influences their growth, health and silk quality. It has been found that adding plant extracts to mulberry leaf can lead to significant improvements, such as increased silkworm weight, better cocoon quality and higher resistance to diseases. Various studies have explored different plant extracts, demonstrating these additions not only promote health of silkworms but also result in superior silk production and hence offers a sustainable way to boost the profitability of sericulture.
