The idea of a Swiftlet Farmers Handbook was mooted more than a year ago. I procrastinated over it on and off wondering if it is worthwhile.
What the hack, does it matter? "Just do it".. and let time prove its worth!
An online medium is the most convenient means for access, materials may be added gradually over time and regular updates. Rather than compile under one umbrella, technical contents are spread into 3 broad categories under:
1) Bird House Design Fundamentals
http://bird-house-design.blogspot.com
1. Thermal basics
- Measurement of thermal energy
- Specific heat capacity
- Thermal insulation/conduction
- Latent Heat
- Properties of air
- Properties of water
- Thermal Energy stored in air, water and water vapor
- Concept of BH Thermal Model
- Thermal Conduction through walls
2. Designs for Shop Units conversion
Case studies of well designed BH + members contribution
3. Designs of Standalone Farms
Case studies of well designed BH + members contribution
4. New Design Concepts
2) Swiftlet Sound System Fundamentals
http://swiftlet-sound-system.blogspot.com
Objectives: (Details as in previous blog)
1. Empowers you audit your sound system & improve its design
2. Empowers you to upgrade your sound system components and its maintenance
3. Knowledge of what constitute a quality tweeter and how to test it
4. Choosing tweeters: cost vs. performance - Fit for use criteria?
5. Getting more out the internal sound system with fake nest/Styrofoam
3) Bird House Management Handbook
http://bird-house-management.blogspot.com
1. Temperature/Humidity monitoring instruments
Application - selection criteria & set up
2. Types of Humidifiers
Application - selection criteria & set up
3. Light Level measurements
4. Sound Level measurements
5. Aromas
6. Bird Sounds (internal, external, pulling)
7. Locations of fake nests/Styrofoam pads
8. Growth rate monitoring
9. Pests Control
10. Harvesting
11. Security issues
12. Remote monitoring
13. Other maintenance related issues
- Routine Hygrostat calibration
14. Innovative experiments
I don't compare with the new BH Design book costing US$200+, its value no doubt will exceeds that many times.
