INCUBATOR DESIGN FORREVIVALS SILKWORM SEEDS
Abstract
This article analyzes the effectiveness of a new incubator design for reviving silkworm eggs. In the course of the study, an incubator based on a rotating disk was created to control the parameters of the microclimate and ensure uniform development of eggs. In this system, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels are monitored using the SCD 41 and other sensors. The results showed that using the new incubator, silkworm eggs were revived 4.1% faster than using traditional methods, and the cocoon yield increased by 5.8%. Thanks to the high efficiency of the new construction, the economic efficiency of silk production will increase and the possibility of producing high-quality silk will expand. Thus, the construction of an innovative incubator opens up opportunities for using new approaches in sericulture.
