Proteins are made up of many different amino acids linked together. The structure of amino acids in silkworm pupae is very similar to that of Koi. So a Koi’s body efficiently converts silkworm pupae and helps it grow big quickly.

Freshness of silkworm pupae is key

Due to the sterilization process, silkworm pupae retain their original form for as long as 10 years. You may be using silkworm pupae as Koi food; but if they are 10 years old, that would not be good for your Koi, of course.
