- Abstract
Aims: In this study, survey questions were asked to breeders dealing with silkworms in the districts of Defne, Antakya, Samandag and Yayladag in Hatay province and the general situation of silkworm breeding was determined. Methods and Results: When the general situation of silkworm breeding in Hatay province was examined, it was determined that there were problems in the supply of mulberry leaves, breeding problems, diseases and sales of the obtained cocoons. In the study, those who did not have land constituted 53.8% of the respondents. The lack of land of the breeders makes it difficult to obtain mulberry leaves. Other problems are that silkworm rearing is difficult and it is not a profitable business. Conclusions: Silkworm breeders participating in the survey have problems in terms of mulberry leaves, care and feeding, and disease and pest control due to the fact that they do not have more land. In addition, there are problems in the sale of the cocoons obtained, and alternative solutions should be produced to eliminate these problems. Kozabirlik, which is the only union in this field in our country, should provide more support to silkworm breeders both in Hatay and other provinces. Significance and Impact of the Study: There are few studies on silkworm breeding in Turkey. Within the scope of this study, the general situation of silkworm breeding in the districts of Hatay, Defne, Antakya, Samandag and Yayladag was determined, the problems were determined and solution suggestions were presented.
