NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR OUR PIGEONS:
Since our birds are kept in an unnatural environment, these supplements are necessary to maintain proper health. We use the medications strictly as a preventative. Prevention means we administer medications whenever the birds are exposed to other birds, during stressed situations and when there is the potential of exposure to highly infectious and very common diseases.
Also, without the use of supplements and medications a fancier is unable to ensure perfect health, development, conditioning, performance and success for an entire race series.
NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS: FRESH GARLIC, FRESH ONIONS, HONEY, FRESH SQUEEZED LEMON OR LIME, APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, SUGAR. All are used in fresh water or teas all year. Also, they can be placed in water with medications, vitamins or minerals.
FRESH LETTUCE, KALE' CABBAGE, SPINACH AND CHOPPED CARROTS should be washed and placed in the loft.
VITAMINS / MINERALS: We prefer water soluble products because they assure us that all the birds will receive the same benefits and all the birds will take several drinks during the day. I like to use 2-3 different brands of vitamin and mineral mixtures, blended together, to ensure the best results.
VITAMINS / ELECTROLYTES: We prefer a water soluble nutritional balanced formula, premix containing vitamins, electrolytes, organic acidifiers and natural micro-organisms for pigeons and poultry: BREWER'S YEAST, WHEAT GERM OIL, NATURAL OLIVE OIL, MINERAL MIXTURES, OYSTER SHELLS, PICKSTONES, HERBAL TEAS.
