$\alpha$-Amylase를 첨가한 인공사료가 가잠의 성장 및 혈당량에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 = Studies on the Effects of $\alpha$-Amylase added to Artificial Diet on the Larval Growth and the Amount of Blood Sugar of the Silkworm, Bombyx mori L.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

상엽이 20% 함유된 누에의 인공사료에 있어서 5영 5일째에 $\alpha$-Amylase를 첨가시켜 사료를 종이한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 소화율은 자웅잠 다같이 대조구에 비하여 높았으며, 자잠은 웅잠보다 높았다. 2. 체중에 있어서는 웅잠은 대조구와 같은 수준이었으나 자잠의 체중이 대조구에 비하여 증가되었다. 3. 견질에 있어서는 견중, 견층중 다같이 대조구에 비하여 증가되었다. 4. 사료의 효율은 처리구가 대조구보다 높았으며, 그 정도는 자잠이 더 현저했다. 5. 5령 7일에 있어서 누에의 혈당량은 대조에 비하여 적었다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of $\alpha$-amylase, added to artificial diet, on the larval growth and on the amount of blood sugar of the silkworm Bombyx mori L.. The artificial diet containing 20% mulberry leaf powder was fed on the 5th instar silkworm. The results obtained were summarized follows: 1. The digestibility in both sexes was increased by feeding artificial diet with $\alpha$-amylase and increase of the digestibility was greater in the female than in the male. 2. Larval body weight was increased in the female but was the male, compared with those in each sex of the control, respectively. 3. There was an increase of the single cocoon weight and cocoon shell weight, as compared with that of the control. 4. It was evident that the artificial diet containing $\alpha$-amylase was more effective than the control, and the effect of the diet was considerable higher in the female than in the male. 5. The amount of the blood sugar on the 7th day of 5th instar was decreased as compared with that of the control.
