| hi rene, as far as i know its used when flying widowhood mainly..........i think it is when they return from a race they are fed a depurative mix which is a light mix for the digestion system, then as the week goes on they are fed a heavier mix ie maize etc to build them up so they peak on race day....... or something like that, im sure someone will let us know correctly.  |
