from the Dec 2023 letter to shareholder:

"We started 2023 with a concentrated program to strengthen our production silkworm strains with the goal of increasing their robustness and tolerance for the commercial production environment. We undertook this program because our study of our previous attempts to ramp up production indicated that our laboratory strains may have been overly inbred or otherwise lacked the necessary robustness to carry out our production objectives.

This process involved selective breeding over many generations and isolating target traits while crossbreeding with more robust specimens. The ultimate goal was to create two, and ultimately four, separate strains of our silkworm, which, when crossed with each other, would produce significant hybrid vigor. This program has been very successful."

sounds like they spent a year improving the old DS...but since the Indian consultants were announced on 11-27-23 and the 25 kilos was pr'd on Dec 14th, im not sure how much they could have done in that time period...but in a July 19th pr, it was announced that 2 sericulture experts with 50 yrs of experience between them were hired and improved many protocols and proceedures that enhanced production...so maybe they had a positive impact on the production of DS...
