  • Abstract
    Young swiftlets are not able to build their own nest as it should. This led to an odd form that reduced its commercial values. The role of Swiftlets template nest is to guide the young swiftlet to build a typical form that will increase its commercial values. The current nest template used is made of plastic, silicone and rubber. By using ceramic materials as a nest template, it will bring the swiftlets close to their habitat which is limestone cave and thus make the population growth faster. The conceptual framework on how to study this problem was proposed. The framework will be a major guideline in producing high quality nest resulting from stoneware body nest template.
