Abstrakt: The research trial was conducted at Division of Sericulture Crop Improvement, College of Temperate Sericulture, Mirgund, SKUAST-Kashmir during spring seasons. The three mulberry genotypes namely Kokuso-21, SKM-33 and Goshoerami were fed to silkworm right from brushing up to spinning of cocoons. Besides one control was also maintained throughout rearing period. In the current research study lowest ingesta (13.205 g) and consumption index (0.770) was recorded in Goshoerami fed silkworm batch. The digesta (8.743 g), approximate digestibility (66.209 %), reference ratio (2.959) and relative growth rate (0.177) were found to be significantly highest in Goshoerami fed silkworm batch.
