Local Hot Spot: Intelligent Sericulture In Napo, Guangxi Opens A Broad "Mulberry Machine"

In sericulture, people have an inherent understanding of fresh leaves. However, the author recently visited the "full age intelligent industrial silkworm rearing workshop" located in Yongle Industrial Park of Napo County, and the scene is amazing!

This is an air-conditioned house with constant temperature and humidity. There is no traditional Chinese style cocoon in sericulture. There are only white plastic baskets arranged orderly from 8 to 10 floors. This is a special "small nest" for silkworm babies. A fat white silkworm baby is eating, they eat not the green mulberry leaves, but mud like special feed. Silkworm babies in the growth process, intelligent machinery instead of artificial "move". A whole set of brand-new silkworm rearing modes, such as incubation, collection of ants, rearing of small silkworms, rearing of large silkworms, mounting, cocooning and cocoon picking, can be completed step by step in the workshop.

"This kind of artificial feed industrialized silkworm rearing is a subversive technological revolution in sericulture, which can realize the separation of planting and breeding and all-weather silkworm rearing." Luo zhilang, head of Napo County, said that in recent years, the county has actively explored the development mode of "company + cooperatives + farmers + technical assistance" through attracting investment and leading enterprises, so as to promote the agglomeration and development of silkworm industry in the whole county; Research and development of "full age intelligent industrial silkworm rearing" technology, and officially entered the production stage this year.

"The first batch of rejuvenation started on February 25 this year, and now cocooning has begun. The breeding time is nearly half a month shorter than that of silkworm rearing with artificial mulberry leaves. This achievement is at the leading level in China." Napo Tongyi New Silk Technology Industry Co., Ltd. feed silkworm technical Director Tian fafang said.

According to reports, traditional artificial silkworm rearing, affected by season, climate, environment and personnel, a person can only raise one or two silkworms a month at most, with a low yield ratio. The "full age intelligent industrial silkworm rearing" realized that silkworm rearing did not depend on the weather, did not look at the season, did not pollute the environment, realized the annual cocoon production, the production capacity increased more than 5 times, and the quality of silk produced could be reeled to 5A grade raw silk. Due to the separation of planting and breeding, sericulture farmers only grow mulberry and do not raise silkworms. Compared with the traditional cultivation and breeding, the income of sericulture farmers per mu can reach 10000 yuan per mu.

The standard workshop, clean environment and highly intelligent facilities are refreshing. The workshop is divided into feeding, equipment, mounting and cocoon picking areas according to their functions. In the feeding area of five years old, the staff only put white plastic baskets and mounting tools on silkworm babies, so that a batch of silkworm babies can be successfully cocooned and cocooned. "Employment can be achieved at home. I feel very good. My monthly salary is more than 4000 yuan." Li Yi, an employee from longtun, Xianong, Donghan village, Chengxiang Town, said.

It is reported that Napo Tongyi new silk technology and Industry Co., Ltd. has built a standardized intensive sericulture demonstration base of 500 mu in Napo County to develop small silkworm co breeding and large silkworm breeding. The base can increase the income of more than 2000 households and 10000 people in the surrounding areas. At present, the company is promoting the construction of a cocoon and mulberry leaf acquisition, industrial silkworm rearing, white factory silk production, green silk cloth, refining and dyeing, digital printing as one of the whole industry chain of cocoon and silk processing.

"Through the acquisition of mulberry leaves, we no longer need to raise silkworms at night, but also greatly reduce the risk of silkworm breeding by picking leaves in the daytime and raising silkworms at night." Lin Jinwei, chairman of the company, said.
