Field study was undertaken to know the impact of standardized feed additives on reeling traits of silkworm hybrid, Bombyx mori L. PM × CSR2. Silkworm hybrid were reared on mulberry leaves fortified with feed additives flour combination of horse gram + grain amaranthus (50:50) dusting on leaves lead to significantly longer filament length, higher cocoon filament weight, superior denier, lower sericin content, higher fibroin content and renditta, in chosen farms of three farmers each in selected five villages of Kolar district.
