Abstrak: Wild silkworm Attacus atlas is one of Indonesian native insect which has high potential to be developed. The cocoons are superior compared with others types of silk, so various processed products can be made such as handicraft, clothes and art that has a high economic value. The cocoon retrieval from nature resulting in population decline of A. atlas in nature, therefore intensive indoor rearing of A. atlas with feed and mating management to increase production is necessary. The purpose of this research was to perform intensive effort of A. atlas rearing by examining the mating management and observed the effect of the feeding treatment on the growth of wild silkworm A. atlas. The research was divided into two phases. The first experiment focussed on mating management of A. atlas done by the different length of mating period of 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours to assess its effect on egg performance, including eggs laying period, number of eggs, the average weight of eggs, eggs hatching period and the hatchability. The second stage was the provision of two types of alternative feed (guava leaves and walnut leaves) with a different frequency of feeding (3 and 4 times a day) to observe its influence on larval growth. The results showed that the different of mating duration significantly affected (p<0.05) to number of eggs. The number of eggs of the mating for 6, 12 dan 24 hours was not significanly different for each 225.80 + 24.30 eggs, 245.00 + 50.70 eggs dan 288.40 + 77.63 eggs, significantly different from the number of eggs in mating for 3 hours was 155.60 + 48.75 eggs. The egg hatchability was significantly influenced (p<0.01) by different time mating with means 92.16 + 6.57 %. Percentage of eggs hatchability with mating time of 6, 12 and 24 hours were not significantly different, but significantly different from the time of mating for 3 hours. The different time of mating did not significantly affected (p > 0.05) egg laying period (oviposition) with an average time was 5.00 ± 0.65 days. The result also showed that different time of mating was not significantly different (p> 0.05) to the time of hatching eggs with an average value of 9.80 ± 0.87 days. Moths are mated in different time of mating produced eggs that were not significantly different weighy (p> 0.05). The results at the second research showed that larvae of A. atlas liked both types of the given leaves. Interaction of treatment types of feed and the feeding frequency significantly affected (p<0.05) feed intake, digestibility, digested food, weight gain, diameter increament, mortality and instar period. Difference in feed and feeding frequency significantly affected (p<0.05) the average of larvae’s consumption from instar I to instar IV. Larvae fed with walnut leaf consumpt 0.310 g/larva (instar I) and 0.442 g/larva (instar II) higher that fed with guava leaves (0,279 g/larva; 0.392 g/larva). At the third and fourth instars, larvae fed with leaves of guava has the higher consumption average with 0.967± 0.098 g/larva and 1.211 ± 0.189 g/larva. Digestibility and digested feed were influenced significantly (p

Abstrak: Attacus atlas L. (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is one of Indonesian native insect that has a great potential economy. Fulfillment the demand of material for silk thread still rely that exist in nature, therefore, needs to be done with the use of intensive breeding male imago as effective as possible in mating. The aim of this research was to study the reproduction performance of male imagoes of wild silkworm A. atlas. This research was conducted by allow a male imago mate with three different females. The time of each mating was 6 hours. The parameters observed were the first, second and third ejaculate volume, the number of eggs per imago, egg hatching time and hatchability of eggs. The results showed that the frequency of mating significantly affect the percentage of egg hatchability. The optimum value was achieved at first mating was 53.58 ± 18.26%. The percentage of egg hatchability declined with increasing frequency of mating. The number of eggs per imago and egg hatching time was not influenced by the frequency of mating with the average number of eggs per imago 225.86 ± 34.23 eggs and the average time of hatching eggs was 11.20 ± 3.23 days
