Summary: | Many entrepreneurs are very interested to start edible bird nest (EBN) swiftlet
ranching. However, majority of them lack knowledge in suitable location and premise size
factors for succesfull EBN swiftlet house. This study compare location and premise size in
coastal, rural and urban area in Terengganu to investigate factors that play a critical role
in determining the success of a swiftlet ranching venture. This study was conducted in 12
EBN swiftlet house in Terengganu namely four in coastal, rural and urban area
respectively. Locations, size of premise, number of floor and number of nest were
recorded. It was found that a 2800 (70x40) square feet 3-floor EBN swiftlet house from
the second rural area produced the highest number of nests (273 nests), whereas the
lowest number of nests harvested from the second EBN swiftlet house in urban area, that
was a 3-floor 1012 (46x22) square feet of swiftlet house. Strangely, the third EBN swiftlet
house from the urban area, the smallest EBN swiftlet house consisting of 1 floors and size
800 (40x20) square feet of swiftlet house produced the second highest number of nests
(256 nests). There is significant correlation among production of EBN with location of
swiftlet house. Location and premise size were the success factors to ensure high swiftlet
population which in term contributes to higher nest production. |
