What are the various stages involved in the sericulture?

Sericulture involves several key stages:

1. Silkworm Rearing: This begins with the selection of high-quality silkworm eggs, which hatch into larvae that are fed mulberry leaves.
2. Cocoon Formation: After several molts, the larvae spin cocoons using silk threads.
3. Cocoon Harvesting: Once the cocoons are formed, they are harvested and processed.
4. Silk Extraction: The cocoons are boiled or steamed to extract silk fibers, which are then spun into silk thread for weaving and other uses.
