Metabolomic differences between silkworms (bombyx mori) reared on fresh mulberry (morus) leaves or artificial diets
The silkworm bombyx mori is the most important organism for producing silk. The insects are raised in a combination of natural and artificial conditions, but little is known about their physiology under these conditions.
“There are several possible uses for silkworms raised on an artificial diet. But, uncertainty exists regarding how modifying the silkworm diet improves metabolic utilisation,” Joshua Bennett, managing director at Losing Weight Fast.
