Thank you philoswiflet well said. I fact I think this wake up call will stablished the swiftlets industry as a whole and is benefit both swiftlets farmers and the populations who suffers as a result of in controlled and regulated swiftlets farms.

Fro those who are caught in the cross road I feel very sad but must endure the pain for a better future. Some will shout until they are Bule in the face but pls consider we all must live in harmony with our neighbour they also share the rights to live in a peaceful and healthy environment .

This also opens up opportunities for some to explore so many opportunities and all for a better future.

Please don't cures at me for my comment which is only my personal opinion. Our present predicament is our own making and only myself to blame . I have built my 24 th BHs and in progress my no 25th,26th, and 27th BHs. So I know what I am talking about! Pls be patients things will surely be normal again as the consumers are buying which is important. My friend with 10 processing plants with 1000 wokers was reduced to only 2 working plants told  me that demand is back and have all his 10 plants now back to normal. Surely price wil eventually increase. 

Those found in China are of the feather type - Maximus  and not Edible-nest Swiftlet (Aerodramus fuciphagus) so there, the people pick the nests out unlike us, we pick up the feather. Their nests consist of more than 90% feathers and only a small percentage edible nests and so, their price is very high consider the danger of climbing up so high to get so little nests.

Oyes! If I am not wrong, India also have the Maximus type of swiftlets and early days, they infact took India's Maximus nests back to China.

Try this.  Very helpful about BN Nitrate written by some Dr. from Jaho Baru

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ppm...WpyYCHA&cad=rja

Summary: Birdshit and urine develop Ammonia (NH3).  After that NH3 develop in to NO2 (Nitrite) and After that oxidized into NO3(Nitrate).

Average Nitrate in cleaned raw birdnest from Jaho-Baru is 87.5 ppm.  And 384.7 ppm for uncleaned raw birdnest!  (sigh)

How comes YST birdnest claim their birdnests have only 11 ppm Nitrate?

I recently had some nests processed by a local EBN processor.

The nest came back very damp weighing in at the same as when I sent the raw, dry unprocessed nest, and also full of ants.

After much work getting rid of the ants and drying the nest out, there was a loss of 30% in weight.

The cleaned EBN was tested then for Nitrates and Nitrites and the shocking result was 55ppm nitrates, 270ppm nitrites.

As a control, I had tested a batch of the nests before cleaning and the result was  50ppm nitrates, 47ppm nitrites.

I then put a batch of cleaned nests into boiling water twice and then sent that for testing. The result was 15ppm Nitrates, 33ppm nitrites.

Now, 10 days after the boiling water treatment, I tested the same batch with similar results, no increase of nitrites.
I think I can conclude that the processor did not observe simple hygiene and sterilization procedures. The wet nests returned allowed the bacteria to increase the nitrite levels phenomenally.

What type of nest rm2k?

I was informed that if ebn is stored in a freezer, the texture will change after thawing. Just like fish balls stored in a freezer, they will be different from the normal ones.

I have never tried it, so input from those with food technology expertise is most welcome.
