- Abstract
Since the beginning of civilization, being the most valuable textile, silk, with its natural structure, brightness, softness, durability and flexibility, is obtained from silk cocoon which the silk worm knits. Silkworm is discovered in China for the first time during 2600 BC. Noticed to be a valuable product, silk cocoons crossed the Chinese borders in 419 AD., and entered to the Anatolia during the Byzantine Empire in 552 AD. With a history of 1500 years around Anatolia region, the silkworm production, despite having periods of crisis from time to time due to economic and social reasons, continues to be an indispensable part of the production till today because it is traditional for farmer families in rural areas. In this study, the chronological development of silkworm breeding and silk cocoon production in Anatolia and Bilecik will be examined, and then the role of Turkey in production of silk cocoons and raw silk in the world will be emphasized. By explaining the properties of natural environment of silkworm breeding, the place of silk production of Bilecik in Turkey is shown with graphs, charts, photographs and distribution maps and examined in detail and reviewed. At the end of the study, the basic problems of silkworm breeding are shown and some solutions are offered to increase the silkworm breeding in Bilecik.
