为您的燕屋农场选择正确的湿度机 CHOOSING THE RIGHT HYGROMETER FOR YOUR SWIFTLET FARM

湿度计是所有燕屋农场设备中最少谈论的小工具。即使农场的生存依赖于它，人们也很少关注它。大多数燕屋主都知道最好的燕屋内部环境条件是26-29C，湿度在80％-90％ ......但是，他们的燕屋农场是否满足这个要求？

通常当我参观燕屋农场时，10个中有9个没有湿度计。他们倾向于猜测他们的燕屋农场在可接受的范围内。这里没有猜谜游戏。如果您的燕屋农场内部环境不在这个范围内，那么您的燕屋农场将无法成功。湿度机可以帮助您绘制路线图，您需要做的事情，需要纠正的事项，需要控制的事项（与需要关闭或打开的通风洞数量有相关）等等。

（HAAR SYNT HYGROMETER）

（HAAR SYNT HYGRO写在上面）

多年来，我使用了许多类型和品牌的湿度计。我发现只有少数是可靠的。并非所有从市场上购买的湿度计都适合用于燕屋农场。 TFA品牌是最好的品牌，TFA品牌中只有一种适合和可靠的品牌。有两种相似的外观类型。两者都像时钟一样圆，并覆盖金色修边。如果你对养燕不够认真，你可能无法区别它们。哈哈哈。你可能认为它们看起来很相似，但它们不是。可靠的是有HAAR SYNT HYGRO的。 HAAR SYNT类型在读数上更准确和精确。它的制作方式不同。

（非HAAR SYNT HYGRO。没有HAAR SYNT HYGRO）

普通的TFA Cross类型有其挫折。当两根针卡住时会出现问题。当读数太高或太低时，会发生这种情况，它会相互交叉，有时会卡在中间。读数不太准确。但两者都以同样的价格出售。许多人认为它们是相同的，但它们不是。

之前使用过LCD数码的人知道这些的限制。但是，它有一些优点。大LCD显示屏很容易看到，有些甚至在LCD显示屏上有灯。不幸的是，它们不是为燕屋农场而制造和设计的。燕屋农场的环境将谋杀这种类型的湿度计。潮湿（高湿度）和暖和的环境会缩短湿度计的使用寿命。由于％RH较高，LCD屏幕变暗。电池控制台接头容易生锈。它损坏了电池控制台中的正负接触点。在这样的环境中电池不会耐很长时间。有些勉强持续3个月。如果持续，电池必须每2-3个月更换一次。此外，它很昂贵。

此外，数字湿度计读数不如HAAR SYNT湿度计准确。因此，下次当您为您的燕屋农场寻找湿度计时，请明智地选择。准确的读数将帮助您更好地维护您的燕屋农场。不要掉以轻心。燕屋农场里的一切都很重要。

大家都有好的燕屋农场。

CHOOSING THE RIGHT HYGROMETER FOR YOUR SWIFTLET FARM

The Hygrometer is the least talk about gadget among all Swiftlet farming equipment. People pay little attention to it even though the survival of their farms relies on it. Most Swiftlet farmers know the best farming micro condition is 26-29C and Humidity at 80%-90 %RH ...but, do their Swiftlet farms meet this requirement?

  Often when I visit Swiftlet farms 9 out of 10 don't have a hygrometer in it. They tend to assume their Swiftlet farms are within that acceptable range of condition. There is no guessing game here. If your Swiftlet farm micro is not in that range, chances are, your Swiftlet farm won't be successful. The readings help you to chart your course, the thing you need to do, what needed to be corrected, what needs to be controlled (in correlation with how many Vent-holes need to be closed or open), etc. 

(HAAR SYNT HYGROMETER)

(HAAR SYNT HYGRO written on it)

Over the years I have used many types and brands of Hygrometers. I've discovered only a few are reliable. Not all Hygrometers you bought from the market are suitable for Swiftlet farming use. The TFA brand is the best among all but within the TFA brand, there is only 1 type which is suitable and reliable. There is two similar looking type. Both are round like a clock and cover with gold trimming. You may not be able to differentiate them if you are not serious enough about Swiftlet farming..hahaha. You may think they are the same as they looked alike but, they are not. The reliable one is with the HAAR SYNT HYGRO writing on it. The HAAR SYNT type is more accurate and precise in the reading. It is differently made.

(NON HAAR SYNT HYGRO. Without the HAAR SYNT HYGRO writing)

The Normal TFA Cross type has its setback. The problems arise when the two needles got stuck. This occurred when the readings go too high or too low, it crosses each other and sometimes stuck in the middle. The readings are less accurate. But both are selling at the same price.

Many people think they are the same but, they are not.  

Those who had used the LCD digital before knew the limitations. But, it has some advantages. Big LCD display easy to see and some of them even have lights on the LCD display. Unfortunately, they are not built and designed for Swiftlet farming use. The environment of the Swiftlet farm will kill this type of Hygrometer. The wet ( high humidity) and warm environment would shorten the lifespan of the Hygrometer. The LCD screen turns dark due to high % RH. The battery console joint gets rusted easily. It damaged the positive and negative contact points in the battery console. The batteries don't last long in such environment. Some barely last 3 months. If it lasted,  batteries have to be changed every 2 -3 months. Furthermore, it is expensive.

Furthermore, the Digital Hygrometer readings are not as accurate as the HAAR SYNT hygrometer.

So choose wisely next time when you look for a Hygrometer for your Swiftlet farm. An accurate reading will help you in maintaining your Swiftlet farm well.  Don't take it lightly. Everything in the farm counts.

 GOOD SWIFTLET FARMING ALL!

HI NEST GS18 - 快速入住技术和燕子频率调整的高音喇叭 HINEST GS18 - FAST STAY TECHNIQUE & SWIFTLET FREQUENCY TUNED TWEETER

經過多年的研究和開發，最終，我們终于生產出可以將燕子頻率傳輸到最佳水平的高音喇叭。 換句話說，現在可以清楚地聽到從普通高音喇叭聽不到的不同音高（頻率）的燕子聲音。 由於構成這個高音喇叭的材料和組件以及想要讓燕子快速入住的想法。

並非所有的高音喇叭都是相同的，並不是所有的高音喇叭都能傳輸所有的燕子聲音。HI-NEST GS18的制作和設計旨在傳輸所有燕子聲音。 當所有燕子的聲音完美傳播並且所有燕子都可以聽到它時，它會鼓勵它們快速入住並做燕窝。

“快速入住的技術”吸引了在入口洞盘旋的新燕子，以更深入地進入作窝區。 在我多年的經驗和觀察中，並非所有來過和玩耍的燕子都會留下做燕窝。 通常來自高音喇叭的聲音無法吸引它們，因為它們不是用於燕子頻率。

當我重新混音和錄製燕子聲音的时候，通常會有超過20種不同的燕子聲音和音高穿插在該燕子歌曲中，例如：成年雌性聲音，成年雄性聲音，年輕燕子聲音，雌性发娇聲，求愛聲，產蛋聲，飞入和环绕的聲音（當燕子進入燕屋農場和做窝區時發出的聲音），棲息聲，嬰兒渴望的聲音，嬰兒餵食聲音，棲息聲，在入口洞发出的聲音等等，列表可以繼續。

如果高音喇叭未調諧到燕子頻率，並非所有上述聲音都可以傳出。你仍然可以聽到金絲燕的聲音，但不是完整的聲音。也許只能發出4-6種不同的聲音。大多數燕屋主無法區分或發現有多少燕子傳出的聲音。

由於這種限制，燕子不願意更深入地進入做窝區。結果，它們需要更長的時間來留下做燕窝。它們只是來玩耍和飛走。

我們來看看HI-NEST GS 18高音喇叭。 為什麼HI-NEST GS 18高音喇叭與其他高音喇叭不同。 調整的規格和聲音頻率由我設計。 我要求它以這種方式製作。 當我拒絕所有的高音喇叭樣品時，製造商感到震驚。 他們說這是他們一直向市場供應的東西。 我告訴他們，這不是我要找的“這不是燕子想要的”。

HI-NEST GS18高音喇叭使用最好的材料。 後蓋由ABS材料製成。 ABS的驚人機械性能是很耐，韌性，強度和剛性。 為什麼我們需要為燕屋農場的高音喇叭提供這樣的東西？

 當聲波撞擊堅固且剛性的ABS後蓋的壁時，它會更好地彈跳（如爆发），從而產生更高質量的聲音。 塑料材料傾向於吸收聲音並且它們不會很好地反彈，它們會減慢反彈速度，從而產生較低質量的聲音。

由於ABS的強度，您可以很放心地將它們安装在木板上，而不必擔心像塑料那樣容易破碎。

它可以更好地承受熱量，（抵抗高溫度）後蓋在焊接電容器時不會輕易融化，不像塑料材料發出的令人不快的氣味會留在高音喇叭中，因此燕子需要更長的時間才能在高音喇叭上棲息。 （燕子不喜歡塑料散發的氣味）

它很容易被區分。雾面的是HI-NEST GS18。左邊的閃亮部分由塑料材料製成。您可以通過高音喇叭上的閃光來識別它。

HI-NEST GS 18使用的是27mm銅板。另一個是使用22mm板。從照片上可以看出。

銅板的尺寸可以很容易地分别。紙錐材料被稱為“紙質晶圓”HI-NEST GS18使用更厚和更優質的紙質晶圓。我們知道更好的材料......如ABS，更大的銅板，更厚的紙質晶圓等等，所有這些都會增加HI-NEST GS18的生產成本。

但令我驚訝的是，使用更便宜的材料並且生產成本更低的塑料銷售價格遠高於HI-NEST GS18 ......您能相信嗎？這就是90％燕屋農場失敗的原因。這個數字將在未來許多年保持不變，並且永遠不會改變。如果人們仍然如此無知。

較厚的紙片不會輕易磨損。大多數高音喇叭都會在2-3個月後损壞。平均而言，30％-50％的高音喇叭在1年內變壞或失去響度。市場上的大多數高音喇叭都不是為燕屋農場所使用的。它們專為Hi-Fi系統而設計，汽車音響等等。他們被重新包裝並重新命名為養燕行業。它們會在幾週內损坏，因為它們不是為每週7天，每天24小時運行的燕屋農場使用而感到驚訝。

播放聲音時，紙張振動會產生聲音。它移動和振動數百萬次。薄紙片將首先磨損並失去彈性。注意到這一點，通過我多年的養燕經驗，我想要可以持續更久的東西，因此我們選擇了更厚的紙片。大多數生產商都不會想要這樣做，因為它會增加生產成本，而且，當它變壞時人們會再次購買對生產者來說不是那麼好嗎？

HI-NEST GS 18的紙片晶圓邊緣有一條曲線。目的是加強紙片晶圓，使其不會隨著時間的推移而變軟並具有更長的使用壽命。這條曲線也有助於紙片晶圓完美地坐放在後蓋上。與塑料類型不​​同，您可以看到紙片晶圓向左移動。它振動時會四處移動。與HI-NEST GS18高音喇叭相比，它沒有坐在後蓋的中間。這會影響音質。

HI-NEST GS18高音喇叭的音質非常好，您可以詳細地聽到每個不同的聲音音高。

拿一個並與其他高音喇叭来進行比較，您將聽到它的差異。

大家都有好的燕屋農場。

HINEST GS18 - FAST STAY TECHNIQUE & SWIFTLET FREQUENCY TUNED TWEETER

After years of research and development, finally, we managed to produce a Tweeter that could transmit Swiftlet frequency to its optimum level. In order words, swiftlet sounds that are in different pitches ( frequency) that can't be heard from normal tweeters, now can be heard clearly. Thanks to the material and components that make up this tweeter and the idea of wanting Swiftlets to stay fast.  

Not all Tweeters are made the same and not all are able to transmit all Swiftlet sounds. 

The HI-NEST GS18 is made and designed to transmit all Swiftlets sounds. When all Swiftlet sounds are transmitted perfectly and can be heard by all Swiftlets it would encourage them to stay fast and to build nests.   

The "Fast Stay Technique" attracts new Swiftlets that came to play at the Entrance hole to fly deeper into the Nesting areas. Throughout my years of experience and observation, not all Swiftlets that came and play would stay and build nests. Often the sounds from the Tweeters are unable to attract them because they are not made for Swiftlet frequency. 

When I do remix and recording Swiftlet sounds, often more than 20 different Swiftlet sounds and pitches are inserted into that song eg: Adult female sounds, adult male sounds, young swiftlet sounds, female heat sounds, courting sounds, laying eggs sounds, entering and maneuvering sounds ( sound that Swiftlets made when they enter the farm and nesting areas), perching sound, babies craving sounds, babies feeding sounds, roosting sounds, playing at entrance hole sounds and many more, the list could go on. 

Not all the above-mentioned sounds could be transmitted out if the Tweeters are not tuned to Swiftlet frequency. You could still hear the Swiftlet sounds but not a complete one. Perhaps only 4-6 different sounds could be transmitted out. Most farmers could not differentiate or detect how many Swiftlet sounds have been transmitted out. 

With that limitation, Swiftlets are not willing to fly deeper into the nesting area. As a result, it would take a longer time for them to stay and to make nests. They just come and play and fly away.

Let's take a look at the HI-NEST GS 18 tweeter. Why the HI-NEST GS 18  tweeter is different from the others. The specification and sound frequency tuned was designed by me. I requested it to be made this way. The manufacturers were shocked when I rejected all their tweeter samples. They said this is what they had been supplying to the market all this while. I told them, this not what I am looking for "this is not what the Swiftlets wanted".

HI-NEST GS18 tweeter is using the best material possible. The back cover is made of ABS material. The amazing mechanical properties of ABS are resistance, toughness, strength and rigidity properties. Why do we need such things for a  Swiftlet farm Tweeter? 

 When the sound wave hits the wall of the solid and rigid ABS  back cap it would bounce better (like a combustion) thus creating a higher quality sound. Plastic materials tend to absorb sound and they don't bounce back well, they slow down the rebound thus creating a lower quality sound.

Due to the ABS strength, you could confidently screw them onto the plank without worrying of breaking like plastic.

It withstands heat better, (resists high temperature) the back cover won't melt easily when soldering capacitors, unlike plastic material unpleasant smell emitted that will stay with the Tweeters thus it takes longer time for birds to perch on the tweeters. ( Swiftlets dislike the smell emitted from plastic)

It can be easily differentiated. The Matt finishing is HI-NEST GS18. The shiny one on the left is made of plastic material. You could identify it by the shines on the tweeter.

HI-NEST GS 18 is using a 27mm copper plate. Where the other one is using a 22mm plate. It can be seen from the picture above.

The size of the copper plate can be differentiated easily. The paper cone material is called "paper wafer" HI-NEST GS18 is using a thicker and better quality paper wafer. As we know better material..like ABS, larger Copper coil, thicker wafer paper, etc all these would push up the cost of production of HI-NEST GS18.

But to my surprise, the plastic ones which are using cheaper materials and have a lower cost of production are selling a much higher price than the HI-NEST GS18 ...could you believe that. That is why 90% swiftlet farm failed. That figure would remain the same many years to come and it will never change. If people still so ignorant.

Thicker paper wafer wouldn't wear off easily. Most tweeters would spoil after 2 - 3 months. On the average 30 -50 % tweeters spoilt or lost their loudness within 1 year. Most tweeters in the market are not made for Swiftlet farm use. They were designed for Hi-fi system, car audio to name few. They were repacked and rebranded for the Swiftlet farming industry. Not surprised they wear out within weeks as they are not made for Swiftlet farm use which runs for 24 hours 7 days a week non-stop whole year round.

When the sound is played the Paper wafer vibrated thus creating sounds. It moves and vibrates millions of times. The thin paper wafer will wear out first and lose its elasticity. Noting this and thru my years of Swiftlet farming experience, I want something that could last longer, therefore we opted for a thicker paper wafer. Most producers wouldn't want this as it would increase the production cost, furthermore, when it spoilt people would buy again isn't that good for the producer?

There is a  curved line on the edge of the Paper wafer of the HI-NEST GS 18. The purpose is to stiffen the Paper wafer so it wouldn't soften over time and has a longer lifespan. This curved line also helps the Paper wafer to sit perfectly on the back cap. Unlike the plastic type as you could see the Paper wafer is moving towards the left. It moves around when it vibrates. It is not seated in the middle of the back cap as compared to HI-Nest Gs18 tweeter. It would affect the sound quality.

The sound quality of the HI-NEST GS18 tweeter is so good that you could hear every different sound pitches in detail. 

Get one and compare them with other Tweeters you will hear the difference.

Good Swiftlet farming All.

盗窃 ......你无法避免 THEFT......YOU CAN'T AVOID

随着目前原始燕窝价格的上涨，盗窃案一直猖獗。如果你有成功的燕屋农场，你无法摆脱这种情况。我的燕屋农场又被盗窃了。小偷似乎知道要去哪一个。在过去的3个月里，他们已经闯入同一个燕屋农场3次了。计划周密。它一定是由同一行业的人员完成并由专业人员执行。他们确切地知道何时进入并且时机正确。好像燕屋农场属于他们。他们在你收获燕窝之前到来。

他们从屋顶进来，因为它是一个商店单位。屋顶已经用双层水泥板，锌板加固，并增加了额外的2“x3”木材交叉。他们必须拆除石棉屋顶，内部锌板，水泥板和木材交叉口。不是一件容易的事，但有决心要这样做。

如果他们可以穿过独立的墙壁，那么通过屋顶进入对他们来说是易如反掌。

不仅只是失去燕窝。当我看到地板上的所有小燕子和燕子蛋时，它是那么的让我心痛。我不容忍杀戮。在这么多年的经验参与燕窝养殖的过程中，我从未做过“强行收割”。有些人吹嘘他们如何强迫收获，之后燕子群和燕窝增加。这纯粹是一个神话，这样做是愚蠢的。如果你相信因果报应，你会知道不久的将来燕屋农场会发生什么。

所以我在石棉屋顶上增加了另一层屋顶，并在屋顶的周边安装倒钩线。如果他们仍想进入他们仍然可以。这是为了让他们更困难。

（厚级锆金属屋顶）

（在将金属屋顶板拧到顶部之前，钢板固定在石棉上。）

（这是完成后的样子）

（这是他们如何攻击独立燕屋农场的墙）

 

这个开放式屋顶燕屋农场是盗贼眼中非常有潜力的目标。走到屋顶，用一根绳子向下进入环绕区......就是这样。如果有选择，我总是选择狗洞设计。我的大部分燕屋农场都是采用狗洞设计。它们确实比开放屋顶类型具有更好的优势。 （将在我的下一篇文章中讨论）。

几个月前，我回到了我的家乡太平。霹雳州着名的小镇。在这里的燕窝是最受追捧的，因为它的高品质（干净，白色和大尺寸）。太平是该国年降雨量最高的地区。现在你知道为什么湿度很重要了。

这里有许多燕屋农场，有些燕屋农场从70年代初开始就在这里。有些人每月收获超过30公斤。这引起了很多关注。毫不奇怪，这里的大多数燕屋农场的屋顶都用金属板加固而覆盖在旧屋顶瓦片上。他们中的大多数是战前的商店。

（这是一幢60 x 100尺的建筑物，3层顶层改建成燕屋农场，一个非常大的燕屋农场）   

特写来看入口洞。一个巨大的2x10尺水平类型。考虑到燕屋农场的庞大规模，它确实有意义。它需要一个很大的入口洞。

THEFT......YOU CAN'T AVOID

With the current rise of price of the Raw Birds Nests, theft has been rampant. You can't escape from this if you have successful Swiftlets farms. My Swiftlets farms were broken into again. The thieves seemed to know which one to go for. In the past 3 months, they have broken into the same Swiftlets farm 3 times. It was well planned. It must have been done by the people from the same industry and executed by professionals. They know exactly when to go in and with right timing. As if the Swiftlet farms belong to them. They came and harvest before you.

They came in from the roof, because it is a Shop lot unit. The roof already is reinforced with double layered cement boards, zinc plates and added with additional 2"x3" wood crossing. They have to remove the asbestos roof, internal zinc plates, cement board and the wood crossing. Not an easy job but there are determined to do it.

If they can hammer through the wall of a Standalone, to them coming in through the roof is peanut.

It is not so much about losing the nests. It hurts me when I saw all the chicks and eggs on the floor. I don't condone killing. In my countless years of involvement in Swiftlets farming, I had never done "force harvesting". Some people brag about how they force harvest and the birds population and nests increased after that. That is purely a myth and it is stupid to do that. If you believe in karma you would know what will happen to the Swiftlets farm in the near future.

So I am adding another layer of roof over the asbestos roof and will install barb wire around the perimeter of the roof. If they still want to break in they still could. This is to make it harder for them. 

( Thick graded Zirconium Metal roof)

( Steel Battens are secured onto the Asbestos before the Metal Roof sheets are screwed on top.)

(This is how it looks like after completed)

( This how they hacked the wall of a Standalone)

This Open roof Swiftlet farm is very potential target in the eyes of the thieves. Go to the roof, use a rope and down you go into the roving area.... that's about it.  If given a choice I always opt for the Dog kennel design. Most of my Swiftlet farms are of Dog Kennel design. They do have better advantages than the Open roof type. (Will discuss that in my next article).

A couple of months ago I went back to my hometown, Taiping. A well-known heritage town in Perak. The  Birds nests here are the most sought after due to its high quality ( clean, white and big size). Taiping has the highest annual rainfall in the country. Now you know why humidity is important.

There are many Swiftlet farms here, some have been here since the early 70's. Some are harvesting beyond the 30kg mark per month. This attracted lots of attention. It is not surprising that most Swiftlet farms here had their roofs reinforced with metal sheets covering over the old roof tiles. Most of them are of the Pre-war shop lots.

     (This is a 60 x 100ft building with the 3 top floors converted into Swiftlet farm, a very huge farm)

A close up look at the entrance hole. A huge 2x10ft horizontal type. It does make sense given the huge size of the farm. It needs a big entrance hole.

                                               ( Another Swiftlet farm with metal roof )

Good Swiftlet farming all.
