Direct after the race.

What does members consider important, after the pigeons have returned from a race. Things like : supplements, type of food, .....in their drinkers etc, and how many days do they receive that treatment?

when we raced before niel we had electrolytes in the water for when they returned, when i re-start with ybs this year i will do the same............and also will use the mallassis which hopefully will replace some of the energy they have used.

For me it has to be honey and lemon to replace sugar levels (lost energy)

dont think ive ever used honey after a race don, but might try in future sometime.........gave this nehu stray a strong dose of this mollassis and within an hour or two it looked a different bird, i couldnt beleive the difference it made in so short a time so will give it a try with the ybs.

never used hunnie till today i use homform and a drop of lucazda powder in drinks

hi phil, would you say this helped them recover....? i think there are many differnet methods fanciers use to aid recovery so whatever works for individuals is ok, sometimes better than buying expensive potions from the corn shops etc......

well i can see change in them david and i let them out on the sunday night and let them fly what they want and they fly for 5 then in ... old chap told me to try redbull 3mls each bird .. and stright back out sunday morrning ....

Phil you use the honey with lemon it works well mate,i have written about this being used before

Phil honey is a natural sugar and sugar is energy, i would place 2 tablespoons of honey with fresh lemon juice in the drinker then i would use some warm water to dissolve the honey but don't use boiling water as this will kill some of the good bacteria's

Once the honey has dissolved then fill the fountain up with cold water and this is the first drink the birds will have on there return back from a race

I asume, everybody try to recupe their birds fast. No problem with that, but think about this, what about clean water, protein feed, to build up muscles , and rest.
A week of rest, good food , and clear water, the birds would be more than ready to race again.
Suplements could be added, at a later stage, just let them recupe naturally a day or two.
Nobody is wrong, this is just another way of thinking.

have read something similar niel, if the birds are getting what they need out of their food ie protien,carbs etc this method would/could work maybe......?

they are all good idears, but everyone to there own it is what you are happy with at the end
