Salt is good Terry      no matter what some may appear to  say    ??? for our birds & I doubt very much etc by given marmite to your birds, you could ever get into trouble. Even if used on a regular basis, as long as you go about using it in a sensible way.  

some people use it on a regular basis terry at a rate of 1 tea spoon to 2 litres of water but dissolve the night before use in a cup of water it has lots of good properties in it but would not use more than 2 or 3 times per week for breeding ...
oz is correct in his words of wisdom regards the salt content which is very important for the birds especially when breeding but to get that for my birds I use kilpatricks black iodised minerals but many roads lead to rome atb

I think there are better things for pigeons than marmite, I like it too much to share it with them.  
Im a fancier who never gives vitamins good pigeons fly on corn and water with plenty of training and good management.
You cannot win with anything from a bottle unless its drugs which I know nothing about, plenty of vitamins in corn and seeds, with greens, carrots and garlic all natural.

The stockies love it while feeding Babies ; once used to it they will knock you over to get to it ;We Feed it Twice a week on Toast diced up ;we allow one peice of toast per pair ; its high in yeast & Vit B ; try it . cheers

Much is true in what you say Rudd    But !!!!!, I do tend to think etc that  most of us at times give goodies    to our birds & we have that feel good moment   for a moment, which at the end of the day is not a bad thing I suspect. Thou !!! if it is right or wrong one could have quite a lenghty debate type of thing. Now !!!!!!    I quite like your little bit at the end etc & it is truly is amazing, what one can pull up out of the ground   for the birds at very little cost from my experience.

In the minds of pigeon men you can always feel good after sprinkling this and that on the corn and by adding potions to the water, However Im afraid its just that, all in the mind, but if it makes you feel better and think your in with a chance on Saturday because of it, who am I to spoil the fun, but for me my faith is in the preparation of a healthy , fit and really good pigeon and not fantasy.

Fantasy Rudd     You know as well as the next bloke here         that all our lofts are totally filled up with champion pigeons etc & that's where we get our enjoyment from. Looking at our champs ??? as we do what we must do.  

Hey guys.

But isn't it just like us if we eat the wrong things and drink the wrong things it makes us ill or even kills us. like eating a big greasy kebab taste nice but kills the inside wraps your heart with fat ...but if a bird is unfit what do you do? we give it things that will help it.. but if we give a little here and there to begin with then the unfitness will keep at bay I'm sure. its like you eating your veg and greens like our daddy's use to say lol

just my thoughts on it...

Right on!

I can tell you now there are things that are good for pigeons don't be taken in by one mans opinion ...yes their is a lot of rubbish being sold but their are some good products...anyone that thinks they can keep their birds healthy all season long when they are in the race basket ybs more so without support is talking through their arse ....I don't mean medications either ,natural support is the best from natural products ...vitamins ,minerals.pre and probiotics and a antibacterial obviously you need to treat if you have a problem atb
