| Food does not provide all the required vitamins needed and this is the reason vitamins are added to ensure the pigeons get the required vitamin which food can not provide |

| i think a lot of these manufacturers/suppliers try to make the fancier believe that if they give their products it will produce winners, all they are interested in is taking your money........ |

| all well and good using natural products but if you want to clear say for instance canker would you use a natural product or would you treat with a medicine would they have the same effect , so ken do you only use natural products , i use preventitives then when it comes to the big races then i treat properly to get that lift, |

| Race the cider vinigar and garlic i get from asda, but if you go into a health shop u can get the cider and garlic vinigar already mixed but this works out a lot more expensive, its cheaper to do what ian does and put a garlic glove in the bottle of cider vinigar Ken |

| would just like to point out that every where we look there are potions for this and suppliments for that, all at quite high prices most will agree.........this is because most fanciers are looking for a secret which doesnt exist to make their birds winners. on the other hand when did we last see grit, (which is a must for pigeons) advertised in the same way ???? never or very rarely, thats because grit is cheap and they make very little profit on it............ think about it... |
