ABSTRACT

Young age silkworm rearing center popularly called as Chawki Rearing Center (CRC) is an
important component in quality bivoltine silk production. In India commercial CRCs are not
very popular because it is not managed scientifically and economically not viable. Therefore,
an attempt has been made to suggest a working model of commercial chawki rearing center,
which is scientifically designed and economically viable. It has been observed that running a
commercial chawki rearing center to its fullest capacity is more profitable than production of
cocoon for reeling.
