Description
Haith’s Red Band® Pigeon Conditioner for Racing Pigeons and Homing Pigeons is based upon a long-standing and well-proven formula that successful pigeon fanciers have fed to their pigeons especially at those times when their condition is paramount. It is the ideal conditioning food for pigeons!
Be it before a race or before the breeding season Red Band® Pigeon Conditioner for Racing Pigeons and Homing Pigeons provides the essential nutrition to ensure racing pigeons are prepared for the ensuing strenuous and stressful times. While it provides the basic nutrition for life, the Red Band® formula is designed to provide just the right balanced nutrition when pigeons need it most.
While no pigeon fancier wants fat racing pigeons, these birds need to take on high reserves of fat to provide the energy for the race. The Red Band® pigeon corn mixture is designed to achieve that objective by providing the items that science has proven do not load the system with too many endosperms. Endosperms are prevalent in too higher quantities in many pigeon diets and these should be avoided as the amino acids they contain are not a source of energy. The surplus of endosperms is converted into fat but not the right type that is easily converted into energy. The result is the fat birds the fancier tries to avoid.
The formula of Red Band® Pigeon Conditioner for Racing Pigeons and Homing Pigeons contains a variety of seeds such as black rape, linseed and safflower that are very high in fats to provide that essential and easily accessible fat resource necessary to pigeon racing. In achieving this balance, the carbohydrate levels are reduced while maintaining the normal levels of essential nutrients. Pigeon feeding guide: Feed 10 grams per bird per day. This can be increased to 30 grams per day, some pigeon fanciers have been known to feed practically all Red Band® three or four days prior to a race, with great success. It is also used when returning from training tosses and exercise for quick trapping.
