New Silk Production Technique Does Not Require Killing Worms

Indian male Kusuma Rajaiah developed a new technique for silk production that does not require killing filamentous fungi during that process. [Note: Peace Silk's company in Oregon state already uses this technology. ] Currently, the production of silk sari involves killing at least 50,000 silkworms. Rajaiah won a patent in the production of "Ahimsa" silk. Ahimsa is a religious concept that claims non-violence and respect for all lives. However, silk production is more expensive. For example, we make Sully's Rs.2,400 using ordinary silk and make Ahimsa Silk for Rs 4,000.

Rajaiah said: "My inspiration comes from Mahatma, he told the Indian silk industry that they would be better if he could produce silk without killing silkworm, he said this to me I dreamed of not happening in my life, I am the happiest person, at least I can do this little thing. "

Rajaiah said that he began thinking seriously about "Ahimsa" silk in the 1990s. The former president's wife, Janaki Venkatraman, asked if she could get a silk sari without killing the worm. Threads for silk threads are usually produced by throwing raw silkworm cocoons into boiling water. Up to 50,000 defects are required for one Sally. Rajaiah allows the moth to escape from cockroaches by waiting 7-10 days and uses the shell to produce yarn.

Another insect that produces products for people is silkworm. Filaria is not a bug, but a moth. On the silkworm farm, mulberry leaves are supplied to the caterpillar (filaria). When caterpillars become sputum, they rotate sputum made of filaments. Harvest oysters and make silk. Without insects, many crops do not produce fruits, so farmers need insects. Insects are necessary for crop pollination. Bees, bees, butterflies and other insects visit flowers to collect honey. At the same time, they picked up some pollen and carried them with them to the next flower they visited. In this way, they help others to pollinate plants to produce good fruits.

When producing silk, shellac, carmine and other products, humans can harm insects. In silk industry, silkworms are often killed by boiling. Approximately 10,000 insects are required to produce Sally (Stancati, 2011). Shellac comes from rack insects, used as wooden veneer, edible glaze, and other uses. Carmine is a coloring agent made from crushed insects. It is used in foods, beverages, cosmetics and other products (Flinn, 2010). During harvesting, insects are killed by crushing, hot water, sunlight, steaming or baking in an oven ("insects are suffering from silk, shellac, carmine and other insect products to alleviate pain". First of all, we do not use products such as silk, shellac, carmine, etc. However, we need to use synthetic substitute.We secondly we can ask for the introduction of welfare regulation and incentives in these industries I can do it.
