This blog was created to cover the progress and activities of my swiftlet house in the farmland from the ground up and share all my thoughts and experiences about swiftlet farming in the farmland.
Welcome Message
"swiftlet farming" is defined as a production system of edible birds' nest by preparing specially designed buildings imitating the cave-like environment for the swiftlets to roost and nest; harvesting of nests at the appropriate season does not affect the species from reproduction. To experienced swifltet farmers, your comments and suggestions would be much appreciated. To newbies, I hope this blog help you in your quest for more information and knowledge.

Work on roof slab continued...
Reinforced concrete is unloaded on Dec 2. Prior to this, 3/4" high density EPS insulation sheets(Styrofoam) of size 4'x8' are laid flat on the roof slab after the foamwork of single brick is laid out around slab perimeters. Thereafter, 2" BRC mesh laid on top of all EPS sheets and secured before reinforced concrete is poured into it. To complete the process, drain holes around all perimeters or slab slope away from the building are ensured to avoid water captured and leaked through slab.
