It was found that the higher concentration (3%) of E-mox as oral administration increased the grown larval, silk gland, pupal weights and fecundity as well as, cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, silk content ratio, reeled filament weight, length and size. The obtained results suggest the use of lemon juice and antibiotic E-mox as a profitable supplementary diet for silkworm to improve its growth and productivity as well as health maintenance and growth promotion UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2016/MJAR/4116/2/459.pdf ER -
