On July 28, women workers at Ankang Wo Si Silk Factory in Shaanxi Province are pleased to organize and package the freshly-drawn natural colored silk cocoon, marking a breakthrough in the technology that has moved from the laboratory to production. Reeling women in the just out of color silk finishing packing This technology is ankang college sericulture laboratory director, associate professor Hu Beili use "silkworm is domesticated from the wild silkworm" theory, found in 1998, all over the well-being of the Qinling and Palestinian Mountains Wild silkworms, which have been eliminated as pests, have a very good utilization value.
