If You Are Very New In Swiftlet Farming !!!

I am of the opinion that if you are very new in swiftlet farming you must never jump into building your own BH without a clear knowledge of what you are going into.

There will be lots of challenges ahead and if you are not ready to face the challenges you might have some mental breakdown.

Good example:

There was this person who converted his shop house into a BH. Since his wife was his financial controller all the money spend were given the nod from his wife.

When his BH did not show any result he was on a war path with his wife.

Due to that they are now sleeping on the a different bed.

No love life and stressed forever.

The lesson from this story might be:

1) Try to make sure that your decision is right and you have mastered the knowledge in swiftlet farming.

2) Try not to allow your wife to be your financial controller.  He he he....

Well if you have read the above I think you can now put your mind together and focus on how you can be a successful swiftlet farmer.

First gather as much knowledge as possible.  Meet the right person who will give you the right advise.

Then attend a few seminars that are easily available in the market.  Make sure you attend those seminars that will help you to acquire knowledge but not to be lured to buying unnecessary things. Should try to attend Pak Harry's Swiftlet farming seminar held once every two months.

Try to find the chances or ways to visit as many BHs as possible.  Not one or two, maybe 10 and see the bad and good design.

Once you have a good look at the good and the bad design BHs sketch and discuss with your sifu.

When you wanted to start a BH try to get some one who is knowledgeable to be a part of your team.  Get him to be your advisor.  Pay him to be at site at frequent as you can.

When you build a new BH make sure your BH is accompanied with proper drawings.  Don't depend on hand sketches.

Make sure your contractor know exactly where those LAL are to be located from the first floor to the last floor.  Never make any mistake on this LAL issue.

The entrance hole design must be perfect.  If you choose the wrong design your BH will be doom.  Trust me on this.

While you BH is under construction you need to start looking as starting your sound library.  Get the list of sounds that will be suitable for your external and internal sounds.  Don't gamble on this.  Spend some money and get the best sounds.

Your BH must be properly treated before putting it to full operation.  Try to spray some kind of aroma on the walls to mask those cement smell.

Once ready you need to ensure that all those piping for humidifiers and wet floor are working to your specification.  Make sure no water leaks anywhere along the piping.

Run your BH for about a few days and enter it for another last inspection.

After that try not to enter your BH too often.  Use those remote CCTV cameras to observe the BH.
