Few days ago a Chinese Daily reported that the Selangor local government would implement licensing for Swiftlets farms in Selangor and they want all farm’s owners in the state to abide by the new ruling.
.
Guess what? The new proposed ruling or regulations were as follows:
.
.
1) To record Swiftlets info such as swiftlets type, no of eggs, etc *
.
2) Records the number of swiftlet in farms *
.
3) Yearly renewal of license
.
4) Water in ponds in farms must change regularly to prevent breeding of mosquito
.
5) Removing and cleaning of birds shit from farms
.
6) Vaccination of babies swiftlets *
.
7) Weekly fumigate of farms *]
.
8) The farm must be constantly dry *
.
9) Farms must be 100 m away from residential areas.
.
10) Rainy season owner of farms must make sure the internal temperature maintain at 30-37C. *
.
This is what they call wanted to make Malaysia the hub of EBN trading and processing in Asia.
Do you think they could make it I guess you all already know the answer.
Those who proposed the regulations seemed very much from the Dept of Chicken Farming .
How about removing the beak of the Birds or only breed female swiftlets only as they could laid eggs.
Totally lack the knowledge in Swiftlet farming. Like I had always said, it doesn’t matter who you are, how famous you are, what position you are in, if you know nothing about Swiftlet farming you cannot simply propose rulings or regulations as these ruling would affect the rice bowl of all farmers and the whole Swiflet farming industry as well.
Good Luck to All Farmers
Malaysia Super BoleH!
