IMPLEMENTATION OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES USING A MECHATRONIC SYSTEM IN SILKWORM FARMS TO ENHANCE SILK WEIGHT

Preventive measures play a crucial role in ensuring the health and productivity of silkworms in silk farming. In this study, we focus on the implementation of preventive works using a mechatronic system to increase the weight of silk. Disinfection is recognized as a vital tool in combating silkworm diseases by neutralizing pathogenic microbes. The disinfection process targets worm houses and areas where disease transmission is more prevalent during warm feeding. By eliminating potential sources of infection, final disinfection is carried out at the end of the current worm feeding season, particularly in locations with a higher incidence of infectious diseases among silkworms. The integration of a mechatronic system in the preventive measures demonstrates its effectiveness in promoting healthier silk production.
