Abstract

This study investigates the development and implementation of energy-efficient devices for maintaining optimal microclimate conditions in silkworm rearing facilities. Microclimate parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, and air circulation are critical for silkworm growth, cocoon quality, and overall productivity. The research involved the installation of automated heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting systems equipped with real-time sensors in three sericulture buildings. Results showed that these devices stabilized temperature and humidity, improved air circulation, reduced silkworm mortality, and enhanced cocoon weight and silk thread length. Additionally, energy consumption decreased by approximately 29%, demonstrating both economic and environmental benefits. The findings highlight the importance of integrating energy-efficient technologies in sericulture to ensure sustainable production and improved biological outcomes.
