| Abstract | ||||
| Mulberry leaves have a high nutritional value for larval silkworm so fortification with plant and animal extracts that contain antioxidant and phytochemical properties and amino acids improve the sericultural industry. Data cleared that, Mulberry leaves that fortified with 2.5% Aloe Vera recorded the highest value in all traits significantly. Although, Taurine with a recommended dose showed the high value in all biochemical analyses after Aloe Vera the results differed in biological and cocoon traits. Also, Moringa oliefera 2% registered high value in biological and cocoon traits after Aloe vera and some biochemical analysis after Aloe vera and Taurine. From the previous results 2.5% Aloe vera is more effective in all parameters than any aqueous extracts understudied. | ||||
