Wood farms? Oh I see.....good luck!

Unless you seal all the gap in between all woods otherwise c'ventilation u can forget of success. Heat n temp are the important factors of good farm.

Seal too many no ventilation no movement of air also die. Good luck!

thanks for the not so die hard comment....ive seen it alot...dont know why everyone has nothing good to say and hey the luck u gave me isnt needed. is that how u treat every new guy in here? not sharing,u can sit in 1 corner with your secrets.

Fighting over the internet is like competing in the special Olympics, even if you win you are still a retard.

thk you for the sincere reply, appreciated.

Hi Anonymous2,

Regarding the cd....of course consultant would be an option, just wondering any1 here has such supply as well, u know....things from consultan is more expensive ma.

May i know what is perhilitan people ? Sorry...both bm and Eng very weak

Hi JKM,

Jabatan Perhilitan is the wildlife department of Malaysia....they control all the wild animal population,
once the building renovation approved by city council, we cud approach perhilitan to enquire further bout licencing procedure for swiftlets

My last visit to the Perhilitan Kedah, their feedback was our govt, is currently encouraging more entrepeneurs to venture into swiftlet farming...

Cheers

Hi man!!

Thanks for your replies , if they encouraging then is really a gud news here!!
Perhilitan hah...let me check in Selangor....

check with the perhilitan ppl...they give free good consult....altho not as good as the PROS in here,but at least something to start with. ive checked the bird calling i have with the perhilitan guy.he said mine not so good and what he told that,govt do provide equipments and resources but u gotta write them letters and they will make decision on it.

Wow, thanks guy, Anonymous2. I have checked the website, they at Jalan Cheras, I think i will call them tmrw.

look for a guy name Dr. Azman

I use a chicken farm humidifier for my farm and realise the it wet the surrounding floor area. The water will then seep to the floor below and the nesting plank.
Is it normal that the humidifier will wet the surrounding area and if it does how do I overcome it. I have place the humidifier into a 4' X 4 water tank' but the mist still wet the floor. Any good suggestions?

Timer controlled? How long each time running and stop period? Perhaps a hygrostat would help. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=688710&hl=

It is time control, running 15 minutes per hour for about 8 hour a day. Does the price ( RM 450.00 ) include delivery?

Ho Goh Chua,

i came across a method newly used by BH owners,

pipe water mist spray,

using external water pump installed outside of BH

with filter b4 pump, auto controlled by hygrostat.

user claims it's cheaper than commonly used humidifiers, and less noise

only thing is to ensure water supply is properly filtered to prevent clogged spray nozzles

for newbie

u can go www.swiftletfarming.blogspot.com , hav some info for u al

Info from a blog? If not fully understand the product people might get misleaded such as it's not cheaper than humidifier if your farm is a 1 floor shoplot farm.
Water pump mist sprayer is not new method. First one I saw in farming back in 2002. This method can only be cheaper than poultry humidifier IF your farm is over 2000 square feet or larger. Beneficial for big farm but for shoplot farm average 1400-1600 square feet per floor that require 2-3 units of poultry humidifier a mist sprayer would not be so economical any more. It does not come with hygrostat but can add timer switch or hygrostat to control it. It was very expensive back then but nowadays very affordable due to made in China pumps, noozles, valves, pressure controller Switch, piping and competitions in installation workmanship.
1 horse power pump can cover 2000sq feet area. 1.5HP for 3000sq feet and 2HP technically cover 4000sq feet and of course highly depend on piping size, piping distance, height etc. To prevent noozle clog just tripple filtered the water source before go into the pump. Nest Tech has been selling their custom made unit with built-in hygrostat, 3 filter etc.
Well using mist sprayer the floor will also wet. The point is must control the duration of spray no matter it's mist spray or poultry humidifier. At 80%RH increase to 85%RH the floor only slightly wet and will not go down into lower floor.
In fact there is a new method in farm humidification and becoming a new trend in Sitiawan. Just ask those people from Sitiawan who're willing to share lah.

dun worry Cheewooi79, nice try.....

Pak Agong's swiftlet captivity farm. That was not something new I've downloaded that a year ago before someone posted on Youtube. Heard it wasn't so successful. Swiftlet in captivity. They have low resistance to deseases. Only food is mrutu and that's the only food they will get. Imagine human transmit deseases to swiftlets, an outbreak of new breed desease. Personally I'm against this method.
If this method succeed imagine every country in the world can industrilise swiftlet farming in a scientific controlled environment. China doing large scale farming with cheap labour, cheap land, cheap everything who can compete? Maybe end up in over production. Price drop to 10% of current price. Nests selling in longgok in pasar. Yup! What a bright future... man~~
