Satellite Silkworm Breeding Station of bivoltine silkworm germplasm, to undertake the breeding programmes in coordination with Bivoltine Breeding Lab, CSR&TI-Mysore,to undertake field trials of breeds developed by CSRTI-Mysore, SSBS-Coonoor,to undertake silkworm and mulberry evaluation trials under All India Coordinated Experiments, to impart need-based trainings and Technical guidance to stakeholders of Dept. of Sericulture, Govt. of Tamil Nadu. Satellite Silkworm Breeding Station The Satellite Silkworm Breeding Station, Coonoor, was established by the British Govt. in 1908 for manufacturing surgical suture guts for soldiers of Second World War. During 1919 the station became Sericulture Demonstration Farm-cum-Guts Section. In 1943 by acquiring lands, the Demonstration Farm was
Feed manufacturing efficiency. Livestock could be fed by grazing on grasslands, integrated or non-integrated with crops production. Livestock that are grown in stalls or feedlots are landless and typically fed by processed feed containing veterinary drugs, growth hormones, feed additives, or nutraceuticals to improve production effectiveness. Similarly, livestock are consuming grains as the main feed or as additional nutrient to the forage based feed. Processing grains for feed is aimed to get the easiest digestible grains to maximize starch availability, thus increasing the energy supply. Depending on the type of feed, the manufacturing process usually start with the grinding process. Figure 1
