The pigeons have been flying at Maarten's home for several years and the results are getting better every year. The family's know-how and the strong Leutenez base ensure that more and more top results are achieved. All of this is strongly supported by the use of Röhnfried products.

In 2024, they again achieved this impressively with strong performances. The young pigeons also achieved outstanding results.

Eddy and Maarten have a fixed weekly schedule!

When the pigeons come home from the race, they always receive Bt-Amin Forte and Rotosal in their drinking water. This ensures rapid regeneration. If the race was demanding, all racing pigeons also receive a K+K Gold Dragees tablet. This accelerates muscle building even further.

For the next three days, the pigeons are given witch beer in their drinking water. In addition, they are given Gervit-W for one day every two weeks and Carni-Speed in their drinking trough every day. This ensures that they have a lot of fun flying during the training week.

Maarten always takes care of a fixed training plan. The pigeons are trained at the same time every day. He also spends a lot of time training the young pigeons. Regular and intensive private training is carried out here.

During the moult, pigeon gold is used at least 3 to 4 times a week. This ensures a perfect feather change. Of course, the pigeons are given fresh grit every day all year round. This consists of travel mineral and breeding & Moulting mineral.

Clear allocation of tasks

The breeding pigeons are on Eddy's property, while Maarten looks after the racing pigeons. This way they can concentrate on their respective pigeon groups. Maarten learned everything from his father Eddy and still values ​​his advice. The motto “Two know more than one” is at the heart of the matter, which helps them to respond quickly to the needs of their pigeons.

Care

For many years they have been passionate fans and users of Röhnfried products. In preparation for breeding, Eddy regularly gives the breeding pigeons Gervit W in combination with Taubenfit E50 to stimulate breeding condition and fertilization rates. During the breeding period he uses a lot of Gervit W, K+K Protein 3000 and Topfit feed lime.

Maarten, who takes care of the racing pigeons, uses a lot of Hexenbier, Gervit W, Bt-Amin forte, Rotosal and K+K Protein 3000. When the pigeons return from their flights, they always receive a mixture of Bt-Amin forte and Rotosal as well as a K+K Gold dragee. At the beginning of each week there is Hexenbier, and every two weeks Gervit W is given for one day. Maarten likes to use Hexenbier because it has an immediate positive effect on the pigeons. The pigeons develop clean breast meat, white noses and improved condition. During moulting, Taubengold is the only product that the pigeons respond very well to. Not to be forgotten is the daily fresh grit, which is a mixture of travel mineral and breeding & moulting mineral.
