There is a wide range of grain-seed mixtures available for feeding carrier pigeons as well as fancy pigeons. The composition is such that it meets the needs of animals related to stock, season and performance of the pigeons. Well balanced mixtures with a large variety of seeds and grains give the best results provided they are used properly.
Fancy pigeons
- Turtle-Dove food: an excellent mixture for Turtle-Doves, Eurasian Collared Doves, Laughing doves and quails.
- Cropper food: a mixture without corn, supplemented with small peas.
- Fancy short- billed pigeon food: a mixture including broken maize.
Feeding advice
- Plenty of soluble and non soluble grit and fresh water should always be available.
- All mixtures lack certain vitamins, minerals and some amino acids.
- Therefore a concentrate supplement is absolutely necessary. A mixture containing 2/3 grain mixture and 1/3 P40 concentrate is recommended.
- It is advisable to feed young pigeons 3 times a day, adult animals 2 times a day.
- It is advisable to feed at set times, in the morning and in the afternoon when there is still daylight.
