After arriving in Sabah, we headed straight to a Swiftlet
farm not far away from K. Kinabalu town. My schedule for that day is to visit
a single storey 20 x 80 ft Swiftlet farm adopting a Dog Kennel design. By the
time I had finished viewing, it is already 7pm. Tire and exhausted after the
farm visit and a dinner with my host I requested to go back to my hotel early
as I slept at 4 am the day before my flight.
As I reached the Hotel, my intention is to hit the bed. As
usual I will check my email and make some replies before I sleep. As I did....
I receive this astonishing email from Mr and Mrs.T, a diehard user of Love
Potion. They use Love Potion on a monthly basis without fail, spraying and pouring it into the humidifiers.
I am very happy to have received this email and
congratulates them on their achievements. A very humble and kind couple who had
started their first Swiftlet farm 2011 (Aug 15).
Below is the email from Mr. and Mrs.T. I am planning to visit
this Swiftlet farm soon and observe it myself and see how Love Potion has
helped them in achieving more than 1000
nests in less than 2 years..... to be precise 1.5 years as they only started to
use Love Potion after it had operated for 6 months.
The combination of Love
Potion, GS-9 external sound and P-9 Internal sound had helped the nests growth
immensely.
Hi James,
First of all, my husband is your big fan (every day he must
check your blog for any new update), and he has some questions and hope to get
your advice.
Our birdhouse opened sound on 15 Aug 2011. After 6months, we
only started to use love potion and after sometimes only changed the external
sound to GS-9. Two months ago, after using the remix p9 we can see
an obvious change in the nest growth.
Please have a look at our records of the nests and obvious 打底 (count together)
25 NOV 2012 -Ground floor(198), 1st first (225), second
floor (235).
1 May 2013 -Ground floor(232), 1st first (267), second floor
(276).
18 Aug 2013 -Ground floor(337), 1st first (338), second
floor (327).
On 27 Aug 2013, we sold about 8.3kg, own taken say about
1kg.
Talk about location, next to our birdhouse is a mountain as
hutan simpanan (our birds always come back from the mountain direction), after the mountain, there is an estate of palm oil, could we assume that food source will
not be a problem in future?
Close to our birdhouse there are another 2 birdhouses. One
is a year older than ours, and another
one started the same year. Both results seemed not so cheers.
We do plan to get a loan to build another birdhouse
(maybe not far from our existing
birdhouse) but lately the price of raw nests has been low, and we are really
upset.
Based on the above results,
Do you think it is too fast to build another birdhouse ? Or wait until a certain number of nests then only
build another one?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Mr and Mrs.T....
I believe if one does it properly from good micro to good farm design and from choosing the right Aroma to right Sound to get a few thousand nests in a short period of time is not impossible.
In the above case Mr and Mrs.T had proven it again good Aroma and sound are vital. Never a afraid of changing Swiftlet farm's sounds the only fear is that you might have changed the wrong sound. It means you may have bought the wrong sound from people you believe is professional but there are not.
Good Swiftlet farming All!
