Insect resources are vast and diverse due to their massive
diversity. The exploitation and utilization of insect resources is
classified into different categories. The most important among them
are the insects of industrial resources which include the
utilization of silkworm, honeybee, lac insect and dye insect.
Although there are several stages of sericulture from soil to silk,
one of the important stages is the technology of feeding of the
silkworm. In recent years some antimicrobial agents have been used
in sericulture industry as a diet supplement for controlling of
silkworm diseases and to improve the production of silk. The
antibiotic feed supplementation not only prevents infections caused
by pathogens but also enhanced economic parameters in silkworm,
Bombyx mori. Antibiotics administration showed promising results in
harvesting better crop and controlling the silkworm diseases to a
significant level. The bond between antibiotics and silkworm is
further strengthened by the current use of silkworm in drug
screening and pathogen studies system due to its short larval
duration and ethically acceptable model.
