Edible Nest Swiftlet industry Seminar, Malaysia
About 100 participants from the industry player attended this very informative seminar on EBN Industry 2012.
With the standard adopted, Malaysia will be the the first in the world able to produce high quality EBN. Malaysia should capitalise on high quality value added EBN products in order to achieve the RM5 billions export value by 2020.
The price of raw clean EBN are expected to increase soon with the agreed protocol for export to China signed in Nanning by both government. More meeting will be held with the Chinese government to streamline the trade. The producers and the industry players are working very hard.

Ranching of Swiftlet in towns is not allowed
KUCHING: The state government will prosecute operators of swiftlet farms in urban and sub-urban areas, warned Assistant Minister of Environment Datu Len Talif Salleh yesterday.
Speaking at a press conference at the media centre of the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) complex here to explicate questions on birds’ nest ranching raised during the DUN sitting, he said the state government had more than 1,000 cases in hand for prosecution.
“Any ranching of birds’ nest in towns and sub-towns are considered illegal. We have not prosecuted (any of the 1,000 cases) so far because if we want to execute them, we want to make sure we will win (the cases). Nevertheless, we will do the prosecution in time to come.”
Len explained that according to The Wild Life Protection (Edible Birds’ Nests) Rules, 2006, a birds’ nest house must be situated 10km away from any urban and sub-urban settlement and 5km away from the fringe of a town.
For birds’ nest houses located in village areas, they must be at least 2km away from the settlement, he added.
“Offenders would be compounded but the penalty may not be effective. Therefore, we are looking at how we can prosecute some of them who are clearly in violation of the act,” Len stressed.
In the joint news conference attended by Assistant Minister of Resource Planning Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais, Assistant Minister for Rural Development Julaihi Narawi and Assistant Minister for Industrial Estate Development Datuk Peter Nansian Ngusie, Len urged birds’ nest operators to fully comply with the requirement imposed by the authorities.
Citing the radio frequency identification (RFID) required by the Chinese government, Len wondered why some birds’ nest operators had objected to installing the system which could help trace the source of a birds’ nest product if anything went wrong.
“If they want to exclude those irresponsible operators, the best way is to comply with the requirement of the Chinese government.
“Production of birds’ nest is not only from Sarawak but also from the peninsula and Indonesia. We don’t want our product, which is of good quality, to be grouped with the product which is substandard. As far as Sarawak is concerned, we want to maintain that.”

SEMINAR on MALAYSIAN STANDARDS for EDIBLE-BIRDNEST INDUSTRY 4 December 2012,Tuesday, Hilton Hotel, Kuching, Sarawak
INTRODUCTION
The birdnest industry is worth multi million dollars in Asia. Malaysia alone exports about ten tonnes of what is considered the finest bird nests in the market, in comparisons to rival exporters from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia and the Philippines. However, with the tighter control imposed by exporting countries, China in particular, the Malaysian edible-birdnest industry must be fully equipped with the vital knowledge that could assist them in overcoming the resulting barriers that could arise during exports.
Realising the economic importance of Edible-Birdnest, Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) had published a number of Malaysian Standards (MS) for Edible-Birdnest industry.
The Technical Committee on Edible-Birdnest (EBN) Swiftlet Ranching which developed the Malaysian Standards referred to in this seminar was established within the National Standards Development Systems under the purview of STANDARDS MALAYSIA, a government agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI).
OBJECTIVES
To get an update on the latest development for edible-birdnest and swiftlet ranching;
To gain knowledge on Malaysian standards and their applications in swiftlet ranching and EBN processing;
To know the minimum requirements for EBN industry;
To know the export and import requirements for EBN;
To increase awareness on the importance of GAHP in swiftlet ranching & GMP in processing EBN and the benefits of such practices; and
To share experience and promote better understanding of the respective requirements and establish networking for EBN industry in Malaysia.

Sarawak is still exporting
The price of birdnest drop to half but Sarawak is still exporting about 200 kg EBN monthly to Singapore or Hong Kong.
We believe once the China market re-open, the price will improve tremendously.

Export of raw and unprocessed birdnest
IPOH: The newly-formed Malaysia Birds Nest Alliance wants the Government to allow industry players to export raw and unprocessed birds' nests (RUBN) to more countries.
Its president Lim Lai Soon said the alliance would submit a memorandum to the Prime Minister at Parliament on Tuesday.
He said nearly all of the country's RUBN producers and farmers were currently in a limbo as the export ban from China on birds nest imports had yet to be lifted.
“We want the Prime Minister to help by allowing us to export RUBN to Korea, Taiwan and other countries.
“There is also a great demand from factories and producers for RUBN in China,” he said here yesterday.
Lim also said the alliance was made aware that the protocol signing between Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar and the Chinese last month was only for the re-entry of edible bird nests (EBN) into China.
”The protocol will see China accepting only the EBN while the RUBN will still be kept in storage here.
“A lot of industry players, especially swiftlet farmers are affected by this new protocol, causing millions in losses every month,” he said.
Last month, Noh Omar signed the protocol in Nanning with China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Minister Zhi Shuping to allow the export of birds nest products into China.
Last week, Deputy Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Chua Tee Yong said Malaysia hoped to resume export of raw cleaned birds nest in December.
Lim said about 50 tonnes of RUBN were harvested and produced every month by some 60,000 swiflet farms.
“RUBN is worth between RM4,000 and RM5,000 per kg,” he said.

Do it Yourself Solar Power Swiftlet Swallow Farm Kit RM3,998 Solarpower-mart.com
After work with 500 swiftlet farms accross south asia, we had sucessfully designed (based on indutrsial best practise) a Do It Yourself (DIY) solar power kit for swiftlet farm onwers. Now they can save a great deal compare using gensets. Includes all the parts to build your own system to solar powered audio system for swiftlet homing and echoing. We also reserve some power for energizer (shocking owl), DC lights and humidifiers.
We've made it very easy to put together with complete instructions.
The DIY System includes:
1) 250 Watt Solar Panel with Super Solar Cell Technology
2) MPPT Solar Charger Controller (Up grade to 500Wp solar array)
3) 100 Amp-hour 12V Seal lead Acid (SLA) Battery with AGM technology
4) Theta 500W inverter for AC devices
5) 12Vdc Timer System for on and off function
6) Datalogger for monitoring solar power swiftlet farm
7) Desulfator for prolong and repair battery life
8) Power Management System
9) Solar cable & battery cable, switcher, connectors, connector spanner tool set & etc.
How's it work?
The careful sized solar panel received 4-5 hours per day of full sun, then the system would have:
15 amps (250W panel) X 5 hrs sun = 75 amp-hours/day
75 X 12V = 900 watt-hours per day.
If you were using our recomended amplifiers then you could on the audio system for 24+ hours with the energy you produced that day.
But you have a battery! Since the battery holds 100 amp-hours or over 1,200 watt-hours of energy, you could on the two audio systems for 4-5 days before you need a charge, but it's better to charge it sooner.
The DIY kit will power two audio systems: one for homing outside walet house for 13 hours and one for inside walet house for 24 hours. Hence, you can provide 2 different homing and echo to your walet house.
A specail designed 12Vdc timer to turn on and off the system for homing and echoing applications.

Why MPPT Controller?
MPPT solar charge controllers are relatively new to the solar energy industry. These charge controllers are different than the traditional charge controllers in that they are more efficient and in many cases more feature rich. MPPT charge controllers allow your solar panels to operate at their optimum power output voltage, improving their performance by as much as 30%. Traditional charge controllers reduce the efficiency of one part of your system in order to make it work with another.
Why Datalogger and Power Management System?
Datalogger is designed to measure and display panel current, load current and battery voltage of your PV system as true values and status values like charging, overload, low voltage disconnect as symbols. Additional you can display several values of data logger of the past event (by min, hour, day, month, and year) as Ah, SOC, Battery voltage (morning, evening).
This provides you more detailed information of your PV system.
With the right tool, you can better manage your solar energy usage to prevent unnecessary power down. Information is the key of success in solar power swiftlet farm.
Why Desulfactor?
As most batteries are idle longer than they're charged, the batteries are left discharging for longer periods of time than when they are charged.
Charging: 2PbSO4 + 2H20 → Pb + PbO2 + 2H2SO4
Discharging: Pb + PbO2 + 2H2SO4 → 2PbSO4 + 2H20
This causes water and lead sulfate (PbSO4) to form at a faster rate than it can be reconverted back to lead, lead dioxide and water. Lead sulfate that's left sitting, originally spongy, will eventually crystallize. Once in crystal form, the lead sulfated cannot be reconverted, even when the battery is being charged. This causes a reduction in active material (the lead and lead dioxide) and surface area where chemical reaction takes place. Eventually, the battery will no longer have the capability to supply enough power. This process, also known as sulfation, is the main cause why batteries fail prematurely!
Our desulfator generates Amplitude Modulated Pulses (AMP) at the resonance frequency of the crystals to shatter the covalent bonds that hold it together. This allows the lead sulfate to be reconverted once the battery is charged. A battery free from lead sulfate crystals will have its life span stretched to its maximum! No more premature failure due to sulfation!
We've made it very easy to put together with complete instructions.
The DIY System includes:
1) 250 Watt Solar Panel with Super Solar Cell Technology
2) MPPT Solar Charger Controller (Up grade to 500Wp solar array)
3) 100 Amp-hour 12V Seal lead Acid (SLA) Battery with AGM technology
4) Theta 500W inverter for AC devices
5) 12Vdc Timer System for on and off function
6) Datalogger for monitoring solar power swiftlet farm
7) Desulfator for prolong and repair battery life
8) Power Management System
9) Solar cable & battery cable, switcher, connectors, connector spanner tool set & etc.
How's it work?
The careful sized solar panel received 4-5 hours per day of full sun, then the system would have:
15 amps (250W panel) X 5 hrs sun = 75 amp-hours/day
75 X 12V = 900 watt-hours per day.
If you were using our recomended amplifiers then you could on the audio system for 24+ hours with the energy you produced that day.
But you have a battery! Since the battery holds 100 amp-hours or over 1,200 watt-hours of energy, you could on the two audio systems for 4-5 days before you need a charge, but it's better to charge it sooner.
