Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.("Kraig Labs") has entered the rapid growth rearing phase for its third spider silk production cycle of the season. During this phase, the silkworms experience exponential growth in preparation for spinning the company's proprietary recombinant spider silk cocoons.
To support this growth, Kraig Labs has expanded its production space. The company is closely monitoring the health and performance of the silkworm colony, with reports indicating that the BAM-1 Hybrids are the most robust strain to date.
Kraig Labs has adopted a batch-rearing process to minimize overcrowding and manage the need for fresh, dry mulberry during the rainy season. This approach supports silkworm health and ensures optimal conditions for rearing and cocooning.
COO Jon Rice stated that Kraig Labs has made significant advancements in spider silk production capacity, attributing these achievements to strategic investments in facilities, equipment, silkworm genetics, and a knowledgeable team. The company is experiencing breakthroughs nearly every week as they advance their production capacities for cost-effective, commercially scalable spider silk.
This progress underscores Kraig Labs' commitment to leading the industry in spider silk production, positioning the company for continued success and innovation in the field.
