Minerals are inorganic substances that cannot usually be replaced by other elements. Since a deficiency impairs physical well-being and performance, it is important to ensure a continuous supply of all minerals and trace elements.
Even the most varied grain mixture does not contain enough calcium, so calcium-containing supplements must be fed at all times, including outside of breeding and moulting (race flights, rest and winter phases). Particularly in today's keeping methods, with very limited free flight, the pigeons are crucially dependent on the breeder feeding them valuable minerals. Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are basic substances for bone formation and bone metabolism. Ca also has important functions in muscle and heart activity, blood clotting and in maintaining the acid-base balance. Calcium deficiency in breeding leads to crooked breastbones and disruption of egg shell formation.
The macro elements magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorine or sulphur are involved in many different ways in metabolism, they activate enzymes, are necessary for neuromuscular stimulus transmission, are required for optimal muscle activity, are involved in the osmotic as well as acid-base and electrolyte balance and are also needed to produce stomach acid (H-CL). This makes them essential for a strong willingness to perform.
The trace elements, as the name suggests, only occur in small quantities in the body. Nevertheless, they are important for fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, important for the immune system and are involved in energy metabolism. To summarize, both macro and trace elements are vital substances that cannot usually be replaced by other elements. Since a deficiency impairs physical well-being and performance, it is important to ensure a constant supply of all minerals and trace elements. Special mixtures of minerals are available for different requirements.
All of our mixtures naturally also contain stomach stones for the mechanical digestive activity in the gizzard. Without stomach stones, the grain feed is not optimally utilized and digestive problems arise. The diverse composition and excellent acceptance are the basis for optimal care.
The special mineral feed is fed in small quantities once a day, before or after the actual feeding. This encourages the pigeons to absorb the vital minerals every day. The mixture is also refined with herbs and other intestinal regulating substances.
The clay bound to our minerals promotes the formation of digestive juices and thus has a positive effect on digestion. The improved feed utilization and intestinal stabilization leads to increased performance in the long term. This is a decisive advantage in optimized feeding.
