The moult is one of the most demanding periods of the year for racing pigeons. In just a few weeks the pigeon has to build a complete new plumage – and that calls for extra protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, silicates and essential fatty acids. The most intensive part of the main moult normally takes place in September–October, when large numbers of body feathers are replaced while the new flight feathers are growing.
The Moulting Package brings together the five Pigeon Vitality products we recommend for this period – at a package price that is lower than buying the products separately.
The package contains
- 2 x Omega-3™ – essential omega-3 fatty acids with natural vitamin E for feather quality, supple feathers and healthy skin. Also used to moisten the grain so the powder products stick.
- Moulting and Breeding™ – nutrients and essential amino acids, including methionine and lysine (which grain contains too little of), for strong, silky new feathers.
- MultiViTra™ – 28 important vitamins, minerals and trace elements to meet the increased need for micronutrients while new feathers are formed.
- Natural Dewormer™ – rich in silicates, which contribute to strong, supple flight feathers and good feather structure exactly when the large flight feathers are growing.
- ProGut Forte™ – probiotic support for a stable gut flora and good digestion, so the pigeon makes the best use of the nutrients in the feed.
The programme in short
- On the grain, three days a week (e.g. Monday, Thursday and Saturday): moisten the feed with Omega-3, then mix in Moulting and Breeding and Natural Dewormer. Add MultiViTra on Monday and Thursday.
- In the 3–4 weeks when the moult is most intensive: give Omega-3, Moulting and Breeding and Natural Dewormer every day.
- In the drinking water: ProGut Forte 2–7 days a week – daily during the most intensive moult.
