Sericulture is the practice of raising silkworms and harvesting their silk. The most widely employed species of the silkworm in sericulture are the larvae of the domestic silkmoth, also known as "Bombyx Mori." For the creation of "wild silks," other varieties of silkworms (such as Eri, Muga, and Tasar) are also raised in captivity. Culturing mulberry trees, which have numerous benefits, including the production of leaves that serve as food for silkworms, is the first step in the sericulture industry, promoting employment, economic growth, and health. The result of sericulture is the creation of high-quality silk thread and high-protein food for people and animals. When supply chain management is done carefully, sericulture provides a rare end- to-end sustainable industry with little negative environmental impact. Poly-fibroin, sometimes known as silk, is a naturally occurring polymer with the adaptability of plastic and the benefit of biodegradability. Markets may now obtain the single protein monomer, silk fibroin, solubilized in water, at huge production sizes, thanks to recent advancements in (bio)harvesting technology.
