Effect of aminoacid enrichment with mulberry leaves on the economic characters of the silkworm Bombyx mori L. was traced. Mulberry leaves enriched with amino acids showed significant effect in larval weight. cocoon Weight, shell weight, shell ratio and filament length. The amino acid concentration (leucine) at 100 ppm was very effective. Mulberry leaves enriched with amino acid (leucine at 10ppm) fed larvae recorded a maximum cocoon weight (1760mg), pupal weight (1458mg), shell weight (302mg), shell ratio(17.16%). and filament length (510M). shell weight in this treatment (100ppm) showed an increase of 34.22% over control and filament length is also 15.91% increase over the control. Various growth parameters like relative consumption rate (RCR), relative growth rate (RGR), weight gain, approximate digestibility (AD). efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) were modulated by the amino acid supplementation.
