 Bombyx mori is an ideal lepidopteran species representative of many scientific studies, a model of studies for medicine and a significant insect from an ecological standpoint. Silkworm pupae, SP, have been studied extensively due to their high nutritional value and potential for use in various industries. SP is a byproduct that was previously discarded in large quantities but now has the potential to be used as an alternative feed ingredient source of essential fatty acids, EFAs. Research suggests that SP can provide a variety of benefits including improved health markers, reduced feed costs and minimized environmental impacts. However, caution must be taken when considering SP usage, as some precautions should be observed. Overall, the study of SP provides us with persuasive arguments for continuing to develop the seraculture industry. This article was authored by Mihaila Habianu, Anca Giorga and Teodor Mihalsia.
