Swiftlet bird is a type of bird that produces a product in the form of a nest made from saliva. The aim of this study was to determine the morphometric differences in swiftlets with different feed conditions of the ant species (Oecophyla smaragdina) to the weight gain, length and length of the tail and wings of the swiftlet bird (Aerodramus fuchipaghus) and to find the most optimal feed conditions of the ant species (Oecophyla smaragdina) for the growth of swiftlet birds. The results obtained morphometric differences in the administration of different types of ant. Furthermore, the optimal growth of swiftlet was in ant species in the form of white ants with an average growth of 0.282 gr/day (weight), 0.244 cm/day (wing length), 0.122 cm/day (tail length) and 0.170 cm/day (body length). The most optimal feed conditions of ant species for the growth of swiftlet bird was white ant (Oecophyla smaragdina). Copyright © 2020 EAI
