In recent years, the county has vigorously implemented the "three new" sericulture projects (new varieties, new technologies, new machines and tools), popularized the light simplified technologies such as the intelligent centralized rearing of small silkworms on a large scale, and gradually realized the mechanization and semi mechanization of silkworm rearing. Up to now, the county has established two standardized silkworm demonstration bases and 30 specialized cooperative societies for mechanized silkworm rearing.

Liuna village standardized intelligent sericulture house covers an area of 8.6 mu, which is composed of 5 silkworm houses, 1 silkworm excrement treatment room, mulberry leaf cleaning area and leaf cutting area. The silkworm house is constructed by experts from Guangxi Shiyi agricultural science and Technology Co., Ltd. based on the "smart cloud" platform, real-time monitoring, room temperature monitoring and other equipment are installed in the silkworm farmers' homes. The expert team carries out real-time monitoring on the standardized silkworm house and provides technical guidance at any time.

Luo Shaoxian, director of the smart sericulture room of the silkworm demonstration base, said that the sericulture house adopts the operation mode of "leading enterprise + University + Party branch + base + poor households", which helps the masses to increase their income by employing poor households to pick mulberry leaves and work in the sericulture room. In the first half of the year, five batches of large silkworms were raised in the silkworm house, with a cocoon yield of more than 1250 kg. Six batches of 813 pieces of 4th instar silkworms were cultivated and sold, covering 150 poor households in liuna and liudie villages of Hongdu County, and the average income of sericulture farmers increased by more than 4000 yuan.

"It is very convenient to feed, disinfect and take cocoons in the intelligent silkworm house, which can not only save labor, but also improve the survival rate of silkworm and cocoon yield and quality." Wu Guibin, the first Secretary of liuna village in the village, said that the implementation of the separation of planting and breeding and standardization of feeding in the base has controlled the annual mortality rate of silkworm diseases below 5%, and the cocoon yield has more than doubled. Moreover, it can reeled 5A grade raw silk, with an annual output value of 120000 yuan.

Liuna smart sericulture house is a typical example of Xincheng County's success in sericulture through science and technology. In recent years, the county vigorously implemented the sericulture "three new" project, which not only provided a strong driving force for the development of sericulture industry, but also effectively drove the local people to get rid of poverty and become rich, realizing the income increase of more than 10000 poor households.
