How to make racing pigeons reach the physiological peak-height with compound feed.

(Taiwan Province) Many pigeon lovers believe that it is natural to feed racing pigeons. They don't know that the proportion of feed is just like the use of drugs, which requires unique insights and rich experience, and the operation skills of both are equally important. Speaking of pigeons, the main racing pigeons are corn, soybeans, peas, adzuki beans, sorghum, brown rice, wheat, hemp and tea seeds. These shells all contain protein, fat, water, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., among which nutrients are indispensable for pigeons. Because racing pigeons have different nutritional needs during the growing period, if you provide feed in a nutritious way and racing pigeons can reach a healthy state, then you will have an extra chance of success. According to the author's experience, the feed contains the following components: (1) corn: 85% sugar, 10% protein and 5% fat. (2) Soybean: containing protein 50%, sugar 40% and fat 10%. (3) Pea: Its components are protein 20%, sugar 72% and fat 2%. (4) Sorghum: protein accounts for 15%. (5) Wheat: It contains 95% sugar, only 2.5% in protein, and only 1.5% fat. (6) Brown rice: Its ingredients are almost all sugar, but its embryo contains a lot of vitamins? And the right amount of fat and protein. (7) Cabbage: Fat components account for a large proportion. After being eaten, this kind of feed is digested and absorbed, and then converted into fat needed by muscles, viscera tissues, feathers, blood, eggs, subcutaneous tissues and tissues, which becomes the energy source of the driving force of flight, and even constructs bones to improve health and maintain normal physiological operation. Therefore, it is one of the knowledge that managers should have to make use of feed distribution at different growth stages to keep it in a healthy state. (2) Soybeans and peas-In the mixed feed for pigeons, soybeans and peas are the main species in protein, with high nutritional value and easy digestion, so it is very useful to feed more before the competition or when feeding young pigeons. (3) Sorghum is a reddish-brown member grain. The ideal sorghum should be shiny and dry. If the weight is too light, the quality will be poor and should be avoided. Moldy or wet and unclean, unfit for eating. (4) Wheat —— Generally, it can be divided into two types: newly harvested wheat and dried wheat. If the mixed feed is made of wheat that has not been thoroughly dried, we call it molting feed. This is real molting feed! If dry wheat is mixed into the mixed feed, it is of little value to the pigeon molting! Because the newly harvested wheat is rich in sulfur and has the function of molting. Because wheat goes bad easily, don't buy wet and bad (moldy) wheat, or pigeons will definitely have diarrhea. (5) Brown rice-hulled grain becomes brown rice. Brown rice is rich in crude fiber and vitamins because of its seed coat? This is also the first vitamin found in brown rice. If pigeons lack vitamins? It will cause beriberi. In order to prevent it, we must use this feed. Because it is not easy to digest, the content of protein is low. If it is used to lose weight, it is also one of the best ingredients in compound feed. Eating pigeons before and after the game, feeding young pigeons, when it is cold in winter or after strenuous exercise, pigeons immediately appear energetic. (6) Rapeseed, sesame seed and flaxseed-these three feeds can make pigeon feathers shine by adding a little at the end of molting, but it is very suitable to give a little at a time. As for flaxseed, it has some laxative effects and can be used as feed for losing weight and clearing blood. However, flaxseed is toxic, and excessive use will lead to alopecia. Therefore, when compounding feed, it is best that they account for less than 4% of the total feed. (7) Hemp is rich in protein, fat, vitamins, calcium and phosphorus. But it sometimes contains a bitter toxin, which has the function of stimulating. In feed, the proportion shall not exceed 5%. Too much hemp seed is harmful, because pigeon's liver can't decompose so much toxin. (8) Barley and oats-these two kinds of feed can raise the temperature of pigeons, so they are very good as winter feed, but not too much. (9) Qiao Mai and mung bean-both kinds of feed can reduce the temperature of pigeons, so they are very suitable for summer feed, but they should not be overdone. The above feed is used by ordinary pigeon breeders, and there are many non-staple foods to match, which can be used according to the preferences of pigeon breeders. Pigeons' healthy feed includes red soil, calcium phosphate and fine sand besides normal feed. Pigeons originally belonged to nature. Since they were raised as domestic pigeons, they have been isolated from the soil and rice fields outside the pigeon house. In fact, the soil raised in the soil contains inorganic substances such as iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, cobalt, calcium, potassium, iodine and chlorine, which is of great help to pigeons after eating. At present, most pigeon houses are set on the ground or concrete floor, so it is difficult for pigeons to ingest inorganic substances, and it is easy to cause diseases due to the lack of inorganic substances. Therefore, pigeon breeders can make up for the lack of inorganic substances in racing pigeons by supplying red soil, fine sand and phosphorus-calcium mixture in daily life. Minerals are necessary for pigeon's life and health. Iron in minerals and protein compound to form heme, which is very helpful for the oxygen in pigeon blood to be transported to various tissues. Calcium and phosphorus in minerals are the main components of pigeon bones. Because the transport of nutrients and the excretion of waste are all due to the infiltration of cells, which completely depends on the minerals in cells and lymph to adjust each other's concentration. Therefore, minerals have a far-reaching impact on the health of pigeons and are indispensable health care feed. Lack or excess of minerals will have adverse effects, such as: (1) Pigeons can't feed pure salt blocks, which will easily cause damage to the pigeon's horns, and even the upper and lower parts can't be completely matched. (2) When adult pigeons lack calcium, their bones become slightly porous and easy to break. Pigeons with calcium deficiency are prone to chondrosis, which leads to bending and deformation of keel. Pigeons lack phosphorus, leading to loss of appetite, physical weakness, mental fatigue, heel fracture and other diseases. (3) Pigeons have no chewing teeth, and sand helps to grind and digest food. If there is no sand, it is easy to get indigestion. (4) Carbon-can absorb toxic gases, remove impurities and make pigeons feel comfortable. Grind the charcoal into dust and pour a little into the red soil. Wait, managers should have a deep understanding. The feed ingredients for breeding pigeons before pairing are: Yumai 35%, Pea 20%, Brown Rice 10%, Sorghum 15%, Barley 10% and others 10%. The main purpose is that the content of protein is low, which can inhibit the female pigeon from getting fat. If breeding pigeons are too fat to lay eggs easily, it will not be worth the loss. The feed formula will not change until twelve days after the mother pigeon lays eggs. Generally, breeding pigeons begin to store pigeon milk a few days before hatching young pigeons, so the author's feed formula is mainly small grains, about corn 10%, peas 25%, brown rice 30%, hemp 10%, barley 10%, sorghum 5% and others10. When young pigeons are born, they should also give fresh red soil twice a day. After the young pigeons were hung up, the author gave another feed formula, that is, corn accounted for 15%, peas accounted for 35%, hemp accounted for 10%, barley accounted for 10% and others accounted for 30%. Due to the rapid growth of pigeons, the number of peas in the author's feed formula accounts for the most, which is also the reason why the growth of ordinary squab sharply increases the demand for protein. This feed formula has been used until it comes out of the nest. In the days from hanging the ring to leaving the nest, the author always feeds four meals a day on the principle of a small amount and more meals. The most important thing is to prevent pigeons from picky eaters, so the author puts a handful of feed in the trough first and then gives some feed after eating. You also need to feed a pill after hanging the ring and before leaving the nest to help the pigeons grow up. Because young pigeons have no independence when they leave the nest, when they are only about 24 ~ 28 days old, the feed trough in the pigeon house should be kept indoors for use all day, otherwise it will hinder the growth of young pigeons. When young pigeons are thirty days old, managers should spend more time getting close to racing pigeons, and 10:00- 12:00 am is the best time for young pigeons to teach well. Generally speaking, I feed pigeons for about five minutes in the morning. By controlling the feed (hand feeding method), they will be hungry for Russia, so that the young pigeons will be very close to the manager because they need feed, and then the manager's future work will be much easier. However, we can't take full-time feeding control just because we want to control the closeness of pigeons, so their hunger will hinder the development of young pigeons. Therefore, the author advocates that young pigeons should be fed in the afternoon, so as to make them develop normally. Before molting, the author mainly used small pellet feed, with peas accounting for 20%, corn accounting for 10%, barley accounting for 15%, sorghum accounting for 15% and others accounting for 40%. When molting, most people take rice or new wheat as their first meal, and then feed them with comprehensive feed. The most important thing is to increase the speed of molting. Some people use pills or red soil to add a little sorghum to speed up the molting function. After a period of time, when the young pigeon is about to molt, feeding a little cabbage or flax kernel will make the pigeon feathers shine. After the racing pigeons molt, the amount of exercise increases greatly, and the outdoor training increases from half an hour to one hour or even ninety minutes. At this time, we might as well increase the weight of corn and peas to make up for the physical overdraft of racing pigeons. Author corn accounts for 35%; Peas and soybeans account for 25% ~ 30%; Barley accounts for10%; Sorghum accounts for15%; Cannabis accounts for 4%; Others account for 10%. When racing pigeons are trained in private education or competitions, the author often makes small moves to feed them because of their different states. For example, after returning from private training, giving them a small amount of stimulating things such as marijuana, white melon seeds and brown rice is a reward, because these feeds can refresh themselves. Another example is that racing pigeons are overweight, and the composition of brown rice fed by the author will increase. Because it is not easy to digest, the content of protein is low, so it is a good feed for losing weight. Now, to understand the influence of various feeds on pigeons, it is necessary to make some adjustments according to their physical condition, which will also help improve their performance. Of course, daily healthy feed (red soil, sand) is also indispensable. While studying medicine and feed formula, don't forget that the quality of racing pigeons is the most important thing; The formula of medicine and feed lies in the improvement of performance.
