Clove and Tobacco

This evening I received call from my blog reader. He asking why beside of Aroma in mineral water bottle has Kretek Cigarettes "GG"? Are you promoting GG or your aroma sponsored by GG?
I said to him that GG is my favorite cigarettes.

Is your aroma containing tobacco smell?? Ha ha ha ha ha.... not only tobacco, I also using clove, that's why I ever told to my friend that my aroma is Herbal Aroma Therapy for Swiftlet.





He asked me "Are you kidding?". May be no may be yes...! The concept how to make swiftlet addicted and become sales promotion girls to attract their friends to come to our birds house.

"Wah.. you will make the swiftlet run away from BH" he replied to my answer. Ha ha ha ha.... run away from whose BH???? and will they stay to our BH which use your aroma? Ha ha ha!

Aroma Pemikat dalam Kabut

Aroma Pemikat dalam Kabut
Oleh trubusid_admindb


RUMAH WALET BERUKURAN 4 M X 12 M SETINGGI 2,5 LANTAI DI CIAMPEA, BOGOR, JAWA BARAT, ITU BARU BERUMUR 1 BULAN. NAMUN, KETIKA RUMAH BARU ITU DIBUKA, KOTORAN WALET BERTEBARAN MENYELIMUTI LANTAI. PUN CERICIT WALET TERDENGAR RAMAI BAK RUMAH UMUR 1 TAHUN.

Menurut Ir Lazuardi Normansah, sang pemilik, rumah itu telah dihuni sekitar 200 walet. Normalnya, rumah baru paling banter dihuni 20 walet atau bahkan hanya seriti. Hal serupa dialami Doni - nama samaran - peternak walet di Serpong, Tangerang. Tiap sore walet yang pulang dan menginap di rumahnya bertambah banyak. 'Walet-walet itu seperti membawa serta 'teman-teman' baru,' ujarnya.

Rupanya kedua peternak itu menggunakan aroma pemikat walet untuk memancing kedatangan Collocalia fuciphaga. Namun, penggunaannya lain dari biasa. Aroma itu dicampur dengan air dalam wadah tampungan mesin kabut melalui selang. Perbandingannya 2 atau 3 bagian air dan 1 bagian aroma pemikat. Lantas mesin yang biasa digunakan pekebun tanaman hias itu diletakkan di antara roofing room dan nesting room dan dioperasikan selama 3 - 5 menit.

Tiap jam 5 pagi saat walet berangkat mencari pakan dan tiap sore saat rombongan besar walet pulang, mesin kabut itu dioperasikan. Ketika walet-walet itu beterbangan melewati nesting room dan roofing room, kabut aroma pemikat menempel di bulu-bulu mereka. Esok harinya saat mencari pakan dan kembali pulang, anggota rombongan bertambah besar. Walet liar terpikat ikut rombongan pulang. 'Diduga aroma yang menempel di tubuh walet menarik walet lain (bukan penghuni, red) ikut masuk,' kata Lazuardi. Itulah yang menyebabkan populasi waletnya berkembang sangat pesat.

Walet muda
Aroma pemikat walet memang jamak digunakan peternak untuk memancing kedatangan walet di rumah-rumah walet baru. Cara dan bahan yang digunakan beragam, mulai dari yang sederhana sampai kompleks. Ada yang melaburkan telur itik ke dinding ruangan, mengoleskan air cucian sarang pada lagur, dan merendam sarang tiruan dalam ramuan pemikat komersial. Itu karena walet memang tertarik beberapa aroma tertentu. 'Aroma ikan, udang kering, dan tembakau adalah beberapa contoh yang disukai walet,' ujar Lazuardi. Sebaliknya, aroma durian dan cumi-cumi tidak disukai.

Menurut Harry KNugroho, praktikus walet di Kelapagading, Jakarta Utara, aroma pemikat walet selama ini hanya digunakan di dalam rumah walet. 'Fungsinya untuk menghilangkan bau semen sehingga burung merasa nyaman dan seolah-olah rumah walet sudah lama dihuni,' ujar Harry. Belum pernah terpikirkan aroma pemikat digunakan untuk memikat walet saat berada di udara bebas.

Hal itu juga diakui Lazuardi. 'Aroma pemikat walet memang tidak bisa berfungsi untuk memikat walet dari jarak jauh layaknya tweeter (pengeras suara, red),' ujarnya. Jika dioleskan ke lubang keluar-masuk, paling banter bisa tercium walet dari jarak 10 - 11 meter. Nah, jika aroma itu melekat di bulu-bulu walet, otomatis bisa terbawa ke jarak yang lebih jauh bersamaan walet pergi mencari pakan. Aroma pemikat disemprotkan 2 kali sehari untuk mengantisipasi jika lebih cepat menguap di udara bebas.

Kendati begitu, berdasarkan pengalaman pemilik jasa konsultasi Multi Walet itu, aroma pemikat tidak menarik perhatian walet yang sudah pernah bersarang atau bertelur di tempat lain. Sebab, burung-burung itu sudah mempunyai ikatan dengan telur atau anak-anaknya di rumah lama.

Kecuali jika di tempatnya bersarang ada gangguan yang menyebabkan walet harus mengungsi. Misalnya, sarang dipanen tidak beraturan atau terjadi kebakaran. 'Aroma pemikat hanya efektif untuk memancing walet-walet remaja yang belum mempunyai pasangan atau baru belajar terbang,' ungkap Lazuardi.

Baru
Kemampuan aroma walet memikat sasaran tergantung bahan yang digunakan. Lazuardi menggunakan ramuan baru yang telah diujinya selama 4 tahun. Bahan utamanya air hujan, liur walet, dan sejenis rumput-rumputan diramu dengan 4 bahan alami lain. 'Efeknya paling bagus jika ramuan sudah mengeluarkan gas,' ujarnya. Cirinya, jerigen tempat ramuan itu tampak menggembung, dan cairan berubah warna dari biru menjadi keabu-abuan.

Untuk aplikasi langsung dimasukkan ke mesin kabut, dan dioleskan pada lagur serta lubang keluar-masuk. Aroma pemikat itu baunya akan semakin kuat dan tahan lama jika dioleskan ke lagur yang porous seperti kayu sengon. Aroma itu bisa tahan 2 - 3 bulan di dalam ruangan dan sekitar 2 minggu di lubang keluar-masuk.

Pengolesan di lagur dan lubang keluar-masuk walet efektivitasnya tinggi. Dampak itu dirasakan Jayadi. Awalnya peternak di Jakarta itu hampir putus asa lantaran rumah walet yang baru dibeli ternyata sudah kosong selama 2 tahun. Iseng-iseng ia mengoleskan 2 jerigen ramuan pemikat walet ke sirip dan lubang keluar masuk. Rumah walet lantas digembok dan ditinggalkan begitu saja selama 4 bulan.

Ketika ditengok kembali, hasilnya membuat Jayadi kaget. Di dalam rumah 3 lantai seluas 200 m2 itu ia menjumpai 80 sarang walet. Kini setelah 8 bulan, sudah ada 255 sarang walet di rumah itu. Umumnya, burung walet baru bersarang di rumah baru setelah 5 - 8 bulan. Bahkan di rumah walet Jayadi terdahulu, setelah 2 tahun baru terdapat 50 sarang.

Meski begitu, para peternak sepakat: tidak boleh hanya mengandalkan aroma pemikat. Kondisi mikro rumah tetap harus diutamakan. Meski diolesi ramuan pemikat, jika rumah kotor dan kondisi lingkungan tidak sesuai, walet tidak akan merasa nyaman. Untuk itu Lazuardi menyarankan kelembapan rumah harus tetap dijaga di kisaran 80 - 90% dan suhu 28 - 30oC. Jika sudah begitu, impian peternak untuk mendengar cericit walet di rumah baru, bukan sekadar impian. (Tri Susanti)

AROMA

After Seminar Jakarta about aroma for swiftlet last year, we did continue develop our aroma for swiftlet.
Supporting by our friends in Indonesia and Malaysia, we did research and develop aroma which effective to attract birds to stay and encourage them to build nests.

Whateven colour you want its depend on what kind of materials or ingridient you are using.
You can make Orange Fant..... A...., Green Fant.....A.... Koka Kola, Spirite or RED FANT..... A...


(Orange Fant..... A....)
























(Green Fant..... A....)

Our team have do canning the aroma in can to make us easy to use and apply in our BH. Do you want to know more about aroma? Please come to our seminar.
Don't worry about fever because of H1N1, H1N1 can not kill you but swiftlet fever will "KILL" you...



For all of you, our friends from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei and Indonesia, who have registered for our seminar, see you in Jakarta on 8 August 2009.

How low can we go??

Avoid to Build BH Near to Base Tranceiver Station (BTS)
























One of the reasons to avoid to build BH near base Tranceiver Station is because when the BTS transmit and/or receive signal, the frequency interference will disturb swiftlet.
Proven that some BH near BTS, swiftlets population growing slow and also in BH using tranducer mist fogger the birds population growing slow.

So, please avoid to build BH near BTS, if you stil want to build at that location, please make sure your BH should be at least 100 meters from BTS.

Horn Speaker











This Horn Speaker created by my friend and has been use in his bird house. Proven that horn speaker more better than PVC bazooka.

Below is article about horn speaker:

Horn speaker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horn loudspeaker with a sealed box driver mounting A horn speaker is a complete loudspeaker or loudspeaker element which uses a horn to increase the overall efficiency of the driving element, typically a diaphragm driven by an electromagnet. The horn itself is a passive component and does not amplify the sound from the driving element as such, but rather improves the coupling efficiency between the speaker driver and the air. The horn can be thought of as an "acoustic transformer" that provides impedance matching between the relatively dense diaphragm material and the air of low density. The result is greater acoustic output from a given driver.

The narrow part of the horn next to the speaker driver is called the "throat" and the large part farthest away from the speaker driver is called the "mouth".

Horns have been used to extend the low frequency limit of a speaker driver—when mated to a horn, a speaker driver is able to reproduce lower tones more strongly. The flare rate and the mouth size determine the low frequency limit. The throat size is more of a design choice. Horns have been known to extend the frequency range of a driver beyond five octaves.

Horns have been used to modify the directional characteristics of the produced sound waves. Horizontal coverage angle is the primary determinant of horn width, and vertical coverage angle determines horn height. On- and off-axis performance will differ depending on the shape of the horn. Compromises in performance such as distortions of the wavefront must be balanced against the design goal.

Operation
Acoustic horns convert large pressure variations with a small displacement into a low pressure variation with a large displacement and vice versa. It does this through the gradual, often exponential increase of the cross sectional area of the horn. The small cross-sectional area of the throat restricts the passage of air thus presenting a high impedance to the driver. This allows the driver to develop a high pressure for a given displacement. Therefore the sound waves at the throat are of high pressure and low displacement. The tapered shape of the horn allows the sound waves to gradually decompress and increase in displacement until they reach the mouth where they are of a low pressure but large displacement.

A modern electrically driven horn speaker works the same way, replacing the mechanically excited diaphragm with a dynamic or piezoelectric speaker.

Modern horn designs typically feature some form of conical, exponential or tractrix taper. Roughly speaking, the slower the flare rate, the deeper and lower frequencies the horn will reproduce for a given length of horn. For example, a horn area growth rate of 30% per foot will allow reproduction down to about 30 Hz; 1000% per foot (10 times area) per foot provides midrange reproduction; 100 times area per foot is used in high frequency horns.

Modern high output horns also make the throat area of the horn smaller than the cone diaphram area. This is called the "loading" or "compression" ratio of the horn. The compression ratio is the cone area divided by the throat area. Typically for bass and midrange frequency the compression ratio is from (1.5 to 1) low compression to normal compression (2 to 1) to high compression (3.5 to 1). High frequency tweeters sometimes have compression ratios as high as 10 to 1.

The higher the compression the greater the horn's ability to properly couple the diaphragm to the air at the horn's mouth, increasing efficiency, until the compression ratio is so high that it actually begins to impede cone motion. At this point the maximum sound output power from the horn (at a given distortion) will be reduced. To demonstrate this at an extreme, place a cone woofer face down on a concrete floor. The compression ratio will be very high, however sound output from the back of the speaker will be quite low.

Thailand's Dessert


Last week I went to Thailand, and I take opportunity go to Bangkok - Chinatown at night to try sea food and Chinese Food which my Thai friend told me cheap and delicious.

After have diner, I walk around Chinatown. Many hawkers selling many kind of goods and food including dessert, i.e.: bird nest soup, wedang ronde, white and black mushroom, etc.
The interesting, they are selling bird's nest soup on walking street in front of their bird's nest shop, and the price between 50 Bath to 300 Bath per bowl.

















Burapa Bird's Nest selling bird's nest soup start from 100 Bath to 1,000 Bath.

This is one of strategy to increase demand on bird's nest. We should follow their strategy to increase bird's nest sales and direct serve to customer. Good and healthy dessert can find easily in Chinatown - Bangkok.
How about in Indonesia?
