SWITLETS FARM IN LONG THANH, VIETNAM

Received these pictures from a student of mine from Vietnam. This Swiftlet farm just started its Swiftlet sound few months ago. Many Swiftlets came and play and birds droppings could be observed in the Nesting areas. A good indication of birds adapting to the environment of the farm.

It is located at Long Thanh not far from HoChi Minch City. It is using my External and Internal sounds. I specially remixed this set of sound for Long Thanh area. There are few Swiftlet farms in this vicinity which some are doing quite well.

This Swiftlets farm is built according to my specifications. All walls are insulated to prevent heat during Hot season. The internal environment is well controlled by a computer system. He is no ordinary Joe. He is brilliant and hardworking. He would be a successful Swiftlet farmer.

His Swiftlet farm is using the followings:

1) Hi-Nests B-52 Amplifier ( Specially tuned for Swiftlet Sound)
2) Hi-Nest GS-18 Tweeters
3) Love Potion Powerful Hormone
4) Swiftlet Farmer external sound
5) Swiftlet Farmer Internal sound
6) Hi-Nest GS-18 Tweeters pooling tweeters

Good Swiftlet farming All.

燕窩出口中國雙倍成長 加工廠料增至36間

中国报
2016年5月25日

獨家報導：邱玉珊
（吉隆坡25日訊）馬來西亞燕窩出口商公會會長拿督蔡千根指出，自2014年，我國正規燕窩恢復出口至中國市場后，至今每年取得雙倍的出口增長；預料我國獲得中國認證的出口加工廠將從今年19間，增加至36間。

他說，2014年下半年開始，我國燕窩出口至中國數量為6.5噸，2015年出口量為12.6噸，今年的出口目標為24噸。

“我們預料出口量會持續雙倍增加。”

他告訴《中國報》，截至目前，獲中國批准出口淨燕至中國的大馬加工廠已從原來的8間，增加至今19間，而中國官員在近期會來馬，為另外17間進行鑑定；因此預料今年內可增加至36間加工廠。

他說，來自中國的45家燕窩產業國際聯盟成員主席鍾建明于24日拜訪獸醫局，並由獸醫局副總監蘇萊曼接待。

他透露，蘇萊曼向中國聯盟成員介紹馬來西亞官方對溯源燕窩產業的監督管理與各項有關安全燕窩生產的流程與出口數據，同時準備在增多17家備案企業準備審核中，預料中國國家認證認可監督管理委員會將嚴格審核並通過。

中國業者有信心

蔡千根引述鍾建明談話指出，中國燕窩業者對馬來西亞政府與中國政府的有關部門監管下的燕窩生產鏈，表明有信心推廣溯源燕窩產品，中國政府部門與馬來西亞進出口商公會配合下對19家認證“一盞一碼”燕窩出口商企業的溯源燕窩產品表明感到樂觀。

蔡千根強調，馬中雙方多年來，推廣健康長久的溯源燕窩產品鏈目標，正確引導新消費理念給消費者帶來食品安全。

出席者交流會有常務副主席陳曉彤、副主席關勇文、劉洪和史蘭波，以及獸醫局燕窩組主任艾農。

蔡千根促縮短出口程序期限

蔡千根透露，中國燕窩業者針對我國正規燕窩必須耗時4至6週才能出口 到中國出售，促我國獸醫局商討，縮短出口程序期限。

他說，我國燕窩出口至中國，必須取得5份認證，即衛生部衛生許可證、獸醫局發出的良好獸醫衛生規範認證及原產地證書、燕窩品質檢驗認證以及貿工部的農產品免稅認證。

“這些認證程序耗時4至6週，由于政府部門已邁入電腦化，所以這些鑑定和申請程序已規範和順暢進行，獸醫局也會探討，縮短批核天數。”

此外，他說，隨著我國正規燕窩出口中國已進入正常軌道，目前，燕窩商收購燕窩價格每公斤3000令吉至3500令吉，相較2年前的1200令吉，大馬燕窩已恢復昔日平穩。

“當前，我們只是面對在中國市場通過不正規渠道進入市場的‘水貨’燕窩，不過馬中兩國已著手處理認證，確保消費者購買符合溯源認證的正規大馬燕窩。”

所有的燕窝都被偷了 ALL NESTS STOLEN

这是在预料之中，隨著原料燕窩的價格最近大大的增加。上个星期竊賊闖進了我的一個燕屋農場。

你想要什麼都可以拿，但請饶了幼燕子。可悲，真的很可悲......所有的燕子蛋、 幼燕子和小燕子都死在地上。對不起，我不想示出死燕子和幼燕子的照片，由于我对它们很敬重。

有5個燕屋農場在這排店屋。就在这5个燕屋農場之中，他們決定進我的燕屋農場...KNNBCB。

他們沒有從入口洞進來，因为我已經安裝了警门，也不从前門。他们把沉重的石棉板移开。這些都是老店使用厚重的4毫米硬質纖維板的。他們把钉子扒了而且没有把纖維板弄破。它是專業或者熟悉這個行業的人的作品。

我有兩層的天花板。在普通的天花板上，還有另一個較厚的水泥板保護它免受熱和小偷。两个都被砸壞了。

這就是為什麼人們在安裝倒鉤線，雙層铁屬屋顶和甚至有24小時的保衛。

嗯，這就是养燕行业里的重要組成部分，所有成功的燕屋農場都會莫名其妙的遭遇它。

對我來說真的很糟糕的一天。

大家都有好燕屋農場。

ALL NESTS STOLEN

It is expected, as the price of raw nests has increased tremendously lately. Thieves broke into one my of Swiftlet farms last week.

You can take what you want but please spare the life of the young chicks. Sad, real sad.... all eggs, chicks, and young birds were left to die on the floor. Sorry, I won't be showing the pictures of the dead chicks and young birds, as I have high respect for them.

There are 5 units of Swiftlet farms here at a roll of shop lot. Among the 5 farms, they decided to break into my farm.....KNNBCB.

They didn't come in from the Entrance hole as I have installed alarm there, neither the front door. They removed the heavy asbestos roof. These are old shops which are using the thick 4mm hardboard. They removed the nails properly without breaking the board. It is the works of professional or people who are well versed in this industry.

I have two layers of ceilings. On top of the common ceiling, there is another thicker cement board to protect it from heat and thief. Both were smash broken.

That is why people are installing barb wire, double layered metal roof and even some with a 24-hour security guard.

Well, this is part and parcel of Swiftlet farming industry where all successful farms will somehow encounter it.

A really bad day for me.

Good Swiftlet farming All.

您需要更换您的燕子聲音 YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR SWIFTLET SOUNDS

"嗨James 師傅, 自从换了您的HP 12XH內部和Tornado-X 燕子外部聲音之后的3個月，燕窝的數量從 100增加到162。我非常驚訝，簡直不敢相信它。我叫我的工人数了三次。我相信他們因为他們是不善於計算。然後我自己來算一次，兩次，的確是 162个 燕窝總數。也就是說，在3個月内增加了62个燕窝。 我無語了"。

這就T先生告訴我通過我們的電話談話。他的燕屋农场4年前開始了聲音。位於麻坡，柔佛2層高的商店。頂層被轉換成燕屋农场。燕屋农场是由他自己建造的。學習從書本，當地的师傅们，朋友，网络上，部落格，等等。

它在3年後还是沒有那麼好的成绩仍不到100个燕窝。很艱難地達到90个燕窝，它就在停止在90到100个燕窝將近一年的时间。然后這時他才认识了我的部落格。那是去年的事。它是通過一個朋友的建議。他閱讀了我的部落格之后開始打电话和whatsApp我。

我仍然記得他問了很多傻的問題。這也是我很感興趣的地方。愚蠢的問題挑戰我。因為它並不常見。我想要那些问题能讓我思考不僅僅只是基本的養燕。當我說基本你明白我的意思......溫度低於30度c，濕度 75-90%，等等...

我勸他要安裝一些分區並刪除不需要的那些。更改內部和外部的聲音和使用Love Potion. 我教他重新置放所有的內部高音喇叭。

他是相當悲觀的。他很怕更换了聲音之后，燕子会會飛走和遷移。

我向他保證，這將永遠不會發生。我告訴他，甚至一些我有多过2000个燕窝的燕屋农场，我們仍然更换聲音。這是為了防止停滯。但是要確保聲音來自可靠的來源。在市場上現在自稱它可以做奇跡等等的這些聲音。我們都不知道他們如何記錄聲音。一些可能会嚇跑燕子。

如果你想要燕窝的数量增加你不得不做一些事情。不要坐著等。那些坐著等待的日子已經過去。現在我們在競爭激烈的環境中繁殖燕子。優勝者得到所有而輸家一無所有。為什麼我说繁殖燕子？是的，我們都在養殖燕子。所有的燕子來自燕屋农场（燕子屋）。

如果你知道如何照顧你的燕屋农场，提供一個更好的內部環境，很自動的燕子會繁殖得更快。

眼見為實。目睹他燕屋农场的成果之后。他現在比以前任何時候都更有信心。

我也為他感到高興。當他的燕屋农场做的好的时候，這意味著它提供更多的燕子停留和培育的地方。換句話說，他的燕屋农场帮助創造更多的生命，（年輕燕子） 間接的説我是帮了他的人，我也分享好"業力"。

YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR SWIFTLET SOUNDS

“Hi Sifu James, after changing to your HP-12XH internal and Tornado-X Swiftlet external sound for 3 months the  number of nests has increased from 100 to 162. I was so surprised and couldn’t believe it. I asked my workers to recount them three times. I don’t trust them as I know they were not good at calculation. Then I count it again myself, twice, indeed it is 162 nests in total. That means increased of 62 nests in 3 months.  I was speechless”.

This is what Mr.T told me through our telephone conversation. His Swiftlet farm started sound 4 years ago. A 2 storey shop lot located in Muar, Johor. The top floor was converted into a Swiftlet farm. He built the Swiftlet farm by himself. Learning from books, local Sifus, friends, online, blogs and so on.

It wasn’t so good after 3 years the number of nests still below 100 pieces. It was struggling to reach 90 pieces of nest and it remained at 90 to 100 nests for almost a year. Then he came to know about  my blog. It was last year. It was through a friend’s recommendation. He started to call and whatapps me after reading my blog.

I still remember he asked many silly questions. That is what I was interested about. Silly questions challenged me. Because it is not common. I wanted questions that could make me think beyond just the basic of Swiftlet farming. When I say basic you know what I mean….temperature below 30c, Rh 75-90%,etc…

I had advised him to install some partitions and removed those that are not needed. Change the Internal and External sound and use Love Potion.I taught him to reposition all Internal tweeters.

He was quite pessimistic. He's afraid  after changing the sounds Swiftlets would fly away and migrate.

I assured him this will never happen. I told him, even some of my Swiftlet farms that have more 2000 nests we still change sounds. This is to prevent stagnation. But make sure the sounds come from  a reliable source. There are so many sounds in the market now claiming that it could do wonders and so on. We do know what they recorded in the sounds. Some may frighten birds. 

If you want the number of nests to increase you have to do something. Don’t sit and wait. Those days of sitting and wait are over. Now we are breeding Swiftlets in a competitive environment. Winners take all and losers left with nothing. Why do I say breeding Swiftlet? Yes, we all are breeding Swiftlets. All Swiftlets came from Swiftlet farms ( Birds Houses).

If you know how to take care of your farms, providing a better internal environment, automatically Swiftlets would breed faster.

Seeing is believing. After witnessing the result of his Swiftlet farm. Now he is more confident than before.

I am happy for him too. When his farm is doing well that means it’s providing  more places for more Swiftlets to stay and breed. In other words, his farm is helping to create more life, (young swiftlets) indirectly I am the person who helped him and I shared  the good “karma” too.

一个被复制的燕屋農場設計 A DUPLICATED SWIFTLET FARM DESIGN FOR ALL

W先生閱讀我的博落格之后決定打電話給我。他不知道養燕有這麼多東西要学习的。他認為他所需要知道的都知道了。

一向来他以為養燕就是讓人來安裝一些木板，开個洞，播一些燕子鳴叫的聲音然後就坐下來等待。他正在等待一面走进银行一面笑的時刻。他等了又等，隨著時間流逝，年復一年，笑到銀行的時刻永遠没有到來。

它是坐落在柔佛州的一个3層店鋪单位。最顶的2層被轉換成燕屋农场。它已經开始了6年的时间，僅有幾個燕窝。燕屋農場是由在當時非常著名的顧問建成的。自從那他就沒有做过什麼來提振燕窝和燕子的数量，因為他認為養燕都是等待。其次，他对養燕的知識也甚少。

他从来没有感到沮喪，直到他偶然發現了我的博落格。讀完我的博落格后，他意識到燕屋農場那裡有很多問題他想要我幫忙。

他想要知道他應該安裝多少个高音喇叭在燕屋農場。他想要知道入口洞和第二個入口洞到做窝区的位置是否正確等等。

为了要對他公平。我告訴他我不能提供所有這些資訊，除非我能看到燕屋農場的外部和內部。 目前，我是忙著準備我要到海外公干，除非他能給我發一些照片，我會對其進行評估和向他提供一些解決燕屋農場的問題。

通過看到的照片我就知道是誰建的燕屋農場。這種設計的燕屋農場一直被複製再复制。有那么多的燕屋農場共用這個相同的設計在柔佛。（什麼使你認為燕子會選擇你的燕屋農場因为所有的燕屋農場都是相同的）。開屋頂式的寬度是大約6-7尺，对今天的標準来说是太小了。有一个水池在洞口前。

我們都不再建水池在燕屋農場了，因為它會導致很多問題。有更好的方法去做而不是放个水池来填補這个地方。漏水，水进入牆壁和損傷木板。維修保養是另一個問題。

擺脫雜草並非易事，并且它还是蚊子的溫床。不要混淆。燕子并不吃蚊子。它被許多人誤解了尤其是知道关于燕子棲息甚少的人。去問生物學家如果你認識的话。它也是食肉動物隱藏伏擊獵物的好去處。可以很清楚地看到這个燕屋農場創造了其自身的問題。

這不是正確的方法来安裝外部高音喇叭。高音喇叭都暴露在陽光和雨，它不會耐用。我猜这些高音喇叭是否还可以用。高音喇叭霸占了入口洞的空間这使入口洞显的更小。它限制燕子輕鬆地飛入燕屋農場。

第二個入口洞到做窝區，一个在頂樓和另外一个在低楼。我見過這麼多燕屋農場有這種設計。您认为燕子會飛到低層使用这第二個洞口，幾乎是在地板上？

如果在地板上的入口洞是行的通的，那么所有的燕屋農場都不需要狗洞或開放屋頂，那些都是位於大樓的最高的一部分。那么我們都可以用門来作燕屋農場的入口洞。

它是必需，离地至少 5 尺從任何第二個入口洞。一個入口门將解決所有。

沒有任何的內部高音喇叭在木板的四周。你能相信嗎？燕子不是都喜欢築燕窝在高音喇叭周围嗎？如果是這个案例，為什麼所有的旁邊牆上的木板都有沒內部的高音喇叭。W先生不得不問那非常有名的顧問。他们應該有答案。

有了小的入口洞和小的第二个入口洞，它減少了光线滲透到做窝區。我估計作窝區都已經足夠黑暗了。我看不到把整個燕屋農場涂上黑漆的需要。但是，這些燕屋農場的牆壁的确都漆上了黑漆。它把燕子都混淆了。

有很多的燕子屎在第二個入口洞入口處的牆上。燕子屎都喷打横。它表明燕子到達第二個入口洞时是返回。看來，它們拒絕飛入做窝區。

还有很多，我想通過觀察照片與大家分享，但是为了要对W先生公平，让我先参关了燕屋農場再说。

W先生真的需要改造燕屋農場，如果他想繼續留在這項投資。養燕是一種投資。對我來說，它是最好的投資可以產生很好的非凡回報，沒有其他投資可以比較的。

大家都有好燕屋農場 ！

A DUPLICATED SWIFTLET FARM DESIGN FOR ALL

Mr.W decided to call me after reading my blog. He didn't know there were so many things to learn in Swiftlet farming. He thought he had known all that one needed to know. 

All this while he thought Swiftlet farming is all about getting someone to install some planks, open a hole and play some Swiftlet chirping sounds and then sit back and wait. He is waiting for the time of laughing to the bank. He waited and waited as time goes by, years after years that moment of laughing to the bank never came.

It is a 3 storey shop lot located in Johor. The 2 top floors were converted into a Swiftlet farm. It had operated for 6 years now and only have a few nests. The Swiftlet farm was built by a very famous consultant at that time. Ever since that he has not done anything to boost up the nest and bird population as he believes Swiftlet farming is all about waiting. Secondly, he has little knowledge in Swiftlet farming.

He had never felt frustrated until he stumbled upon my blog. After reading my blog he realised there are many problems in his Bh and wanted my help.

He wants to know how many tweeters should he installed in the Bh. He wants to know whether the position of the Entrance hole and the Second entrance hole to the nesting areas were correct and etc.

To be fair to him. I told him I am unable to provide all these information unless I could see the Exterior and internal of the Bh. Currently, I am busy preparing my oversea trip unless he could send me some pictures and I would evaluate them and provide him with some solutions to the Bh's problems. 

By looking at the picture I knew who built this Bh. This design has been copied and built again and again. There are so many Bhs sharing this same design in Johor. ( what makes you think birds would choose your swiftlet farms as all are the same).The width of the Open roof to the Entrance hole is about 6-7 ft which by today,s standard it is too small. A pond was built in front of the Entrance hole.

We don't build pond anymore as it causes many problems. There are better ways to do it instead of filling up that area with water. Leakage, water sipping into the walls and damage nesting plank. Maintenance is another problem.

Getting rid of weed is not easy and it is a breeding ground for mosquitos. Don't be confused. Swiftlet doesn't eat mosquitos. It was misunderstood by many who have little knowledge about the habitat of swiftlets . Go and ask a biologist if you knew one. It is also a good place for predators to hide to ambush their preys. It can be clearly seen that this Bh is creating its own problem.

This is not the correct way to install the External tweeters. The Tweeters are exposed to sun and rain and it will not last. I wonder the tweeters are still working. The tweeters are taking up the space of the Entrance hole making the Entrance smaller. It restricted Swiftlets from flying into the Bh easily.

The Second Entrance holes to the nesting area, one to the top floor and the other the lower floor. I have seen so many Bhs with this design. Do you think Swiftlets would fly to the lower floor using that Second Entrance hole that is virtually on the floor? 

If the hole on the floor works then all Bhs won't need Dog kennel or Open roof  which is located at the highest part of the building. Then we all could use the doors to our Bhs as an entrance hole.

It is required, at least 5 ft from the ground for any second entrance. A door entrance would solve all.

No internal Tweeters on all sides of the Nesting planks. Can you believe that? Isn't birds like to build nests around the Tweeters? If that is the case why all Nesting planks next to the wall have no internal Tweeters. Mr.W has to ask that very famous consultant. He should have the answer.

With the small Entrance hole and small second Entrance holes, it has reduced light from penetrating into the Nesting areas. I reckoned that the Nesting areas are already dark enough. I don't see the needs to paint the whole Bh black. But, these Bh walls are all painted black. It confused the Swiftlets. 

There are lots of birds droppings on the wall of the Entrance of the second Entrance holes. The droppings are scattered  horizontally. It shows Swiftlets turned back as they reached the second Entrance holes. It seems that they refuse to fly into the nesting areas. 

Well, there are more which I would like to share with you all through observing the pictures but to be fair to Mr.W let visit the Bh first.

Mr.W really needs to revamp the Bh if he wants to stay in this investment. Swiftlet farming is an investment. To me, it is  the best investment which could yield a very good extraordinary returns which no other investment could compare.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
