In an attempt to achievea better diet for rearing larvae of the silkworm Bombyx mori and increase its productivity, different antiseptics were added to a recommended basic semi – artificial diet to prevent contamination with yeasts and molds. The tested antiseptics were potassium sorbate, propionic acid and delvocid. The results indicated that all these materials were effective in extending the shelf life of the diet as well as improving the rate of growth and productivity of silkworm B. mori. The maximum improvement in all tested criteria was occurred with supplementing delvocid to the diet, in comparison to the other tested materials.
