This are the Nests harvested from one of my Swiftlet
farms last weekend. It is 2.5 years old Swiftlet farm located in one of
the busiest congested town in Selangor
The weight of the
Green color box is 1.166 kg, it is a large box. The total weight of the Green
color box together with Nest is 5.652kg. After deducting the weight of the box, the nett weight of the
Nests is 4.486kg.
Well I am happy with the result of 4.486kg after 2.5 years. I
don’t ask for more and I am satisfied.
Everywhere is possible to do Swiftlet farming, but it
depends on how you do it. Swiftlet farming is no different from other
businesses. It needs skill, right knowledge, courage and perseverance. When I
say knowledge, I mean real and genuine knowledge. It is not building or
constructing a house and install Nesting Planks and Tweeters. I have seen and
visited too many failed Swiftlet Houses, they rarely practice and follow the
basic knowledge of Swiftlet farming.
After so many years of providing free information on my
blog, people still never learned. I still find many Swiftlet Houses struggling
to meet the basic requirement of the Micro (Temperature, Light,etc).
Why?..........Maybe…this is the norm. In the Market
Economy, it is always and no matter how well the economists plan and implement
the Economic policy. Somehow it will go back to “ 10% people controlling 90% of the market and the 90% of people are sharing the 10% that is left”.
I find it similar in
Swiftlet farming. 10% Swiftlet farm capturing all the young Swiftlets
which the rest (90%) are sharing what is left. Young Swiftlet is the future of
a Swiftlet farm.
So where do you want to be? The 10% that is controlling or
the 90% that share what is left?
Why do some businesses succeeded after changing hand? The
new owner took over the failed business or company and changed the whole
management later the businesses grow. Now is it because of the business or
management?
I knew many people that buy failed Swiftlet houses at a
bargain price and turned it around successfully.
I believe the least
you ask the more you will get.
So go and do a successful Swiftlet farm.
Good Swiftlet farming All!
