Abstract
The present investigation reports the effect of folic acid as supplemented feed on haemogram and some biological parameters of Bombyx mori L. All the tested concentrations of folic acid especially 10mg/100ml significantly increased the weight of larvae ,pupae, fresh cocoon and cocoon shells. Also, treatment of folic acid increased total haemolymph protein, total haemocyte count, differential haemocyte count and corpora allata activity.
