His First Swiftlet Farm

A couple of weeks ago I was in Kelantan to inspect a Swiftlet farm owned by Mr. W. The Swiftlet farm was designed by me. It had started operation for almost 4 months now. There are about 30 nests inside and other new nest markings.

I was there to see it myself how Love Potion and the Dripper had helped Mr.W’s farm. He also applied the Netting system where he put Plastic Netting on most of the corner boards. After installing the Netting he sprayed them with Love Potion.

This is his first Swiftlet farm, and he had never harvested any nest before. It is a good opportunity to harvest and bring home some nests for his family.

A 3 storey Swiftlet farm.

The upper 2 floors converted into a farm.

 Entrance Hole directly faces the Sun. Who says it won't work. It depends on how the partitionings are being set up.

Netting on corners...it is better than fake nests

 Love Potion with Dripper, dripping into the Humidifier. Droppings are everywhere.

A timer control the humidifier. Dripper cover uses to protect the timer from droppings

A bottle hung on the Nesting room

Another bottle on the Lower floor

 Droppings with plenty of feathers. This is what we want to see. Many Swiftlet farmers are longing to see this. You see feathers you see the nests soon

 White thick droppings with feathers

Full cup nest in the corner with plastic netting

  Nests on both sides, both corners



First time harvesting, worth a million dollars



Some spare Love Potion at the control room.

Mr. W's farm is using a special external sound , a B-52 mixed specially tuned for his area. He is using the hypnotic series internal sound. The nests are clean and white, Love potion and the good sounds do help to improve nests quality.

Enjoy the photos.

Note: This farm is using the 3rd Generation Love Potion

Good Swiftlet Farming All.
