All about tailor made feed-mix & the racing pigeons


Standard Mix

This is the basic mix that may be fed to any type of pigeon.
Young Bird Recipe

Use only the best quality seed mix and additives. The best food and additives are a must for the developing youngster. This food must include a clean, organic and nutritionally balanced "Young bird mix" with the additional nutritional supplementation (Improver, AntiFungal, F-Vita). A good quality dry grit must be provided at all times. The "Young bird Mix" provides the young bird with the required energy, protein and amino acid balance necessary for optimal body development and renewal of quality flight feathers.

The following recipe is an example of a good European "Young bird Mix", which is ration fed and because of its high energy levels requires regular loft flying to prevent internal fat formation.

Molting Recipe

The best food and additives are essential for a quick molt and the regrowth of quality new feathers. A quick molt indicates a healthy flock and a superior quality of feather reflects the correct feeding system. The best recipes provide the essential level and balance of amino acids needed for the formation of new feathers. Improver, AntiFungal and Energy supplement provide the high levels and balance of protein, energy, vitamins and minerals required for a fast and successful molt.

The following is a successful recipe of a "Molting Mix" which is given ad lib. During the moult

Distance Recipe

With races longer than 5 hours the feeding system must change from a light "Sprint Mix" to a heavier "Distance Mix". Loft flying is not restricted as in the sprint season. The following is a good example of a distance mix, remembering that both the exercise and mix determine the buoyancy of the race bird. Turbo booster and Energy supplement are added to the distance mix each day to stimulate loft flying and to accelerate recovery from more hours on the wing during this training.

Breeding Recipe

The "Breeding Mix" plus the additives provides the growing baby with every nutrient need for optimal body development and disease resistance. The following recipe is an example of an excellent "Breeding Mix", which is hopper fed.
