Abstract

Edible Bird Nest (EBN) swiftlet industry plays a significant role in the economic growth in Sarawak. This study aimed at identifying both the external environmental factors and types of insects that are important for a successful swiftlet farmhouse (SFH). For this purpose, a total of 21 SFHs from the southern areas of Sarawak were selected. The external environmental factors of SFH and the type of insects present in relation to the number of EBN swiftlet populations were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that external environmental locations, namely rural and remote areas, were highly selected (71.42%) for the construction of SFHs (p<0.05) compared to the other location categories, as analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Significant relationships (p<0.05) were observed between environmental factors (habitat origin and predation) and the population of EBN swiftlets in the SFHs. Large densities of the EBN swiftlet populations were found in SFHs located in areas with fewer disturbances. The highest population of insect types in most SFHs was Diptera (52.38%). This study can be used as a guideline for swiftlet ranchers looking to startup their EBN swiftlet farming.
沙捞越食用燕窝金丝燕(Aerodramus fuciphagus)受外部环境和昆虫吸引的因素
食用燕窝(EBN)燕业在砂拉越的经济增长中扮演着重要角色。这项研究的目的是找出对成功的金丝燕农舍(SFH)非常重要的外部环境因素和昆虫种类。为此,研究人员从砂拉越南部地区挑选了21个农舍。研究人员利用描述性统计分析了农舍的外部环境因素和昆虫种类与EBN金丝燕种群数量的关系。结果显示,与其他地点类别相比,外部环境地点,即农村和偏远地区,被高度选择(71.42%)用于建造自力更生住房(p<0.05),这是用Kruskal-Wallis检验法进行分析的结果。环境因素(栖息地来源和捕食)与自力更生住房中的EBN燕数量之间存在显著关系(p<0.05)。在干扰较少的自力更生住房中发现了大量的金丝燕种群。大多数自力更生住房中数量最多的昆虫种类是双翅目(52.38%)。这项研究可作为养燕业者开始饲养EBN金丝燕的指南。
