Swiftlets nest from caves had been farmed commercially in Malaysia for over more than 100 years and Niah caves of Sarawak is the first ever recorded for such activity since 1878. Some species of swiftlets are said to have moved from caves to other areas for more than 100 years, so in order for me to to gain a better understanding of how they survive in the past and present environment, I've started my journey into caves by flight, boat, car and foot. Along the trail, I was on the lookout for anything new not on our list that might throw light on the characteristic of the species.
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.
