Three silkworm races viz., pure Mysore (PM), bivoltine (CSR2) and crossbreed (PMxCSR2) were analyzed for their protein concentrations. Quantitative protein estimation was carried out in different body tissues of silkworms. Data obtained are statistically analyzed with one way ANOVA at p<0.05 significance level and presented in the result section. Results revealed that, significantly higher (at p<0.05) proteins were recorded in bivoltines compared to crossbreeds and multivoltine silkworms. Bivoltine silkworms were comparatively superior in protein concentrations tested in different body tissues and the experiment can be adopted for screening and characterization of different silkworm breeds.
