Racing Pigeon Feed – 2 types of food you must have
Today is a look at individual foods that help pigeons health, and their racing abilities.
The first food is Peanuts. (Pigeon feed-Fun Facts about Food)
Peanuts are great additive to put into your racing pigeon feed, especially during racing season. If your pigeons race long distances, peanuts are the most effective food you could have for your pigeon. However any old peanut would not do your peanuts must be the natural ones, not salted or flavoured.
Peanuts are an excellent source of nutrition since they contain a good amount of carbohydrates, and proper fats to store energy. In long distance racing have stored energy is imperative, because with the stored energy your pigeon can race much longer, and at a much faster rate.
The second food on power racing pigeon feed is Garlic.
Yes I said Garlic! Garlic is great for your pigeons health. I know I was skeptical to but if you actually stop to think about it, garlic is a healthy food for us humans. Garlic helps stop blood from clotting, and can have a temporarily antibiotic effect in our digestive tract. What does this have to do with your pigeon? Everything because for racing pigeons it exhibits the same benefits as it does for humans.
Garlic acts as a blood purifier, removing toxins from your pigeons blood. There is a proper way to serve garlic to your pigeons so please pay attention . The best way that I have found and read about is taking garlic cloves, crushing them, and then adding it directly into the drinking water of the pigeons. You will not have to boil the garlic first it is not necessary. This is a great way to improve the overall health of your racing pigeons.

And Garlic one for improved vitality and health. Try them out and write in your results I really want to know if it works for your pigeons as it does mine.
