인공사료의 White Ginseng 첨가가 누에의 성장에 미치는 영향

Effect of Dietary White Ginseng on Larval Growth of Silkworm, Bombyx mori

인공사료육에 있어서 White ginseng이 누에의 성장에 미치는 영향을 알기 위해서, 애기누에 및 큰누에들을 4수준의 Ginseng extract를 함유한 인공사료로 사육하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Ginseng extract를 함유한 인공사료를 먹은 누에의 체중은 46.6 mg ginseng extract level, 139.9mg ginseng extract level, 279.8mg ginseng extract level의 순으로 무거웠다. 특히 누에의 체중증가는 46.6mg ginseng extract level에 있어서 대조에 있어서 보다 상당히 많았다. 따라서, 인공사료육에 있어서 알맞은 양의 White ginseng은 누에의 성장을 양호하게 하는 효과가 있다고 생각된다. 2. Ginseng extract를 함유한 인공사료를 먹은 누에의 혈당량은 함유하지 않은 인공사료를 먹은 누에보다 현저하게 감소하였다.

The effect of dietary white ginseng on growth of silkworm larva was studied with several young and grown silkworm larvae divided into four groups and fed ad basal artificial diet containing different levels of ginseng extract. The four levels of ginseng extract added to basal artificial diet were: 0 (control), 46.6, 139.9 and 279.8 mg per g of dry diet. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The body weight of silkworm larvae fed ad basal artificial diet containing different levels of ginseng extract was increased in 46.6mg ginseng extract level, 139.9mg ginseng extract level and 279.8mg ginseng extract level order. The body weight was greatly increased in 46.6mg ginseng extract level than in control. It is, therefore. considered that a little white ginseng was effective for larval growth in silkworm rearing with artificial diet. 2. The blood sugar content of silkworm larvae fed on an artificial diet containing several levels of ginseng extract was remarkably decreased as compared wilt that of the control silkworm larvae.
