Natural Hazards to a Swiftlet House (Part 1)

燕屋的天敵 (1)

Pests like cockroaches are a huge detriment to a Swiftlet House. Cockroaches are destructive insects which will gnaw at the nests of the swiftlets, leading to holes in the nests. This damages the nests and cause economic losses.

害蟲會對燕屋有害。蟑螂會咬蝕燕窩,造成燕窩有洞。燕窩遭損壞,也會造成經濟損失。



 As a side note, the presence of cockroaches in the Swiftlet House will also cause a disturbance to the closely monitored atmosphere, smell and environment in the house. This may affect the attractiveness of the House and swiftlets may not return to the House.

蟑螂的存在也會影響燕屋裡頭的環境。味道,衛生和環境被影響後,可能影響到燕子回來的過程。


This unfortunate swiftlet has been hurt and lies injured from a rat bite.
燕子被老鼠咬後,已經死亡了。


This swiftlet has perished in its own nest after a rat bite. The rat has attacked the swiftlet from the roof.
老鼠也會從屋頂攻擊燕子,燕子已經在窩裡被咬死了。


Here is another unfortunate victim of a rat bite.
這也是老鼠攻擊的受害者。

Constant supervision and maintenance is key to ensure the swiftlets are protected from these natural hazards.
我們必須持續監督與檢查燕屋裡的清潔與狀態,防止害蟲,老鼠的侵襲。

The Processing of Edible Bird's Nest 食用燕窝的清洗过程

When we consider the value of the edible Bird's Nest we find in the market, we tend to forget the amount of work that goes into the cleaning and preparation of this treasured delicacy.

Plenty of effort and hours of manual labour is needed before the edible Bird's Nest is deemed suitable for the commercial market.

越南一养殖场5000只燕子集体死亡 民众忧禽流感

原标题:越南一养殖场5000只燕子集体死亡 民众忧禽流感
  中新网412日电 据台湾中央社报道,越南南部宁顺省(Ninh Thuan)日前发现1户屋燕养殖场近5000只燕子集体死亡,经抽检有8例呈现禽流感H5N1阳性反应,养殖户与周边民众担忧疫情扩大,影响生计。
  除了宁顺省外,在庆和省(Khanh Hoa)、胡志明市、前江省(Tien Giang)、坚江省(Kien Giang)等省市,民众搭建屋燕养殖场采收燕窝的行业很普遍,因此呼吁有关机构尽早完成检疫工作。
  当地官员研究结果显示,燕子的免疫能力较高,但是这次发现感染H5N1,仍使得养殖户与周边民众陷入担忧,因为燕子长时间在空中与海上岛屿生活,防疫工作相当困难,而且养殖户无法对燕子接种疫苗。
  越南《青年报》今天(12)报道,宁顺省潘郎市(Phan Rang)1个屋燕养殖场自3月底至4月初约4900只燕子死亡后,当地兽医分局立即抽取样本进行检验,结果显示有8个检体样本呈现H5N1阳性反应;随后,当地兽医部门立即向民众通报疫情,并对其他养殖户进行抽检。
  报道指出,这是第1次发现屋燕养殖场的燕子感染H5N1病毒,由于大多屋燕养殖场都设在民间小区,养殖户第1层楼通常是农民房舍,2楼以上搭盖燕屋,因此民众担忧H5N1病毒可能会传染人类。
  一名农民表示,投资3亿越盾(15000美元)兴建屋燕养殖场,经过35年的时间才能采收燕窝,现在如果H5N1疫情蔓延,将遭受重大损失。
  相关官员表示,除了鸡鸭外,H5N1病毒也有可能从燕子传染人类,因此,经常与燕子接触的民众,工作时应做好防护措施,经常消毒养殖场,以免感染H5N1
