US Patent 3,794,499 (granted Feb. 26, 1974) describes an artificial feed for domestic silkworms (Bombyx mori) that combines a conventional mulberry-leaf-powder feed with at least 30% unicellular green alga such as Chlorella or Scenedesmus. The patent covers the background on sericulture and artificial diets, example feed compositions, and a rearing-trial table (chlorella content 0-90%) showing faster growth, a shorter larval period, more uniform pupation, and heavier cocoons at 30% or more. It ends with two claims and the references cited.
