Raw Peanut’s: An Important Part of a Racing Pigeon’s Diet

Raw Peanut's: An Important Part of a Racing Pigeon's DietThe racing in Taiwan is the most challenging and difficult for the young racing pigeon.  The strenuous schedule or race series and the very young age of the birds requires them to have the best food sources (grains), with the greatest and nutritional value, available.

Peanuts are superior to any other grain we can give our birds for racing.  You should feed them in raw form or as unroasted nuts.  We prefer the RAW SPANISH PEANUT because of its small size and uniform shape.  However, regular peanuts are just as good, but might be a little more difficult to eat because of the odd shape and larger size.  Both have the same nutritional value and will produce the same great results, with the RAW SPANISH PEANUT having a little better taste.  You should feed peanuts whole, with the skin still on.  This ensures that the birds will get the most value from the food source.  When peanuts are halved or crushed, they loose a great deal of their nutritional value.  Peanuts should be stored in a cool place, free of dampness or moisture.  If properly stored, they will last for up to 1 year with no problem.  Here in the USA , we buy them in 110 lb. bags direct from the peanut companies.  We buy only # 1 grade, which are fit for humans.  This gives us the very best to feed to our birds.  The cost is about $1.00 USD per lb.  This is one of the best investments a fancier can make to ensure success in breeding and in the racing loft.

Peanuts contain the highest oil content, more then grains like sunflower seeds, linseed, hemp seed, and rape seed, which are all very high in oil content.

Peanuts contain an extremely high FAT content 47%, compared to CORN 4%, WHEAT 2%, PEAS 1%.  Peanuts are high in PROTEIN 30%, CORN 10%, WHEAT 12%, PEAS 23%.

CORN, WHEAT and PEAS are high in carbohydrates 55-70% as compared to PEANUTS 12%.  This is important because when carbohydrates turn into energy, they give us 1/2 amount of energy as do grains high in fat.

Therefore, peanuts give our birds over 2 times as much energy or fuel to race than corn, wheat or peas.  The nutritional value or energy our birds receive from peanuts is 2 times greater than normal feeds.

During the race, the birds store energy in the form of “GLYCOGEN” in their muscles and liver.  The glycogen, much like gasoline in your car changes to energy to move the vehicle.  When the glycogen tanks of our birds are empty, they have no more fuel, and our birds are still on the wing, they start to burn up their body protein.  This means the pigeon has to use up its own muscles, in the process losing weight.  In extreme cases, they may come home as just feathers and bones, or they may never return.  Birds that are fed peanuts (47% fat), instead of the normal feed (5-10% fat) low in fat content, can handle the tough races without losing weight or using up their own muscles.  They return home in excellent condition to race again the next week.  This is very important with the Taiwan style of racing, where birds must complete the race series to win large prizes.

The peanut is the first class fuel for our pigeons’ racing engines.  These nuts far exceed other feeds (grains) in energy value by 2 to 1, or twice the value.  The night of basketing, we give the pigeons as many peanuts as they want.  One helping of peanuts equals in energy value two crops full of regular feed. The birds are actually eating for two days.  If you were comparing it to your car, you would have 2 tanks of gas with peanuts and only 1 tank of gas with normal feed.

The “peanut pigeons” have less need for water than the birds that have been fed ordinary grain rations, because the grains have to stay longer in the crop, while soaking up water, until they are soft enough for the muscles of the stomach to be able to grind up.  This process takes quite a bit of energy.  Peanuts do not need soaking, which means they need little water and leave the crop relatively fast.  They are soft so it takes little energy to digest them.  Thus, peanuts are an advantage to our racers because they are faster to digest than regular grains.  Fanciers who feed peanuts agree that their pigeons are less thirsty, even on hot days.  When they return to loft on these hot days, they are more alert, active and less fatigued.

As with other feeds that pigeons are unfamiliar with, it takes a while to get to eat the peanuts.  It is an advantage for the fancier to feed peanuts to his breeders.  They are excellent for both healthy breeders and to develop nice young, but more important, it introduces the young birds to peanuts.  They love the taste.  The birds become tame, with no trapping problems.  They admire their fancier and become more motivated to return to their loft and perches.

How do we feed this valuable grain to our birds to achieve success?  We still feed our regular grain mix (15%-17%) and add peanuts to the birds’ diet. You will notice in a short time that the birds will eat less when you start to feed them.  When the birds are in training, developing and racing, the owner hand feeds them all they want to eat.  The fancier stays with the birds, giving them grain until they are full, making sure that they take a good drink and on their own perches.

You should give breeders 1 – 2 lbs. of peanuts per 20 pair of breeders.  The fancier should take the time to place 5-10 peanuts in the nest bowls of cocks or hens sitting tight on eggs or young.  You should feed the pigeons as close to equal amounts.  This is difficult because of fast eaters in the loft.  You should hand feed small amounts at a time to make sure each birds gets his fair share.

The race team should have no problem with eating peanuts, because they have acquired a taste for them while fed in the nest.  They are excellent for young birds at any age and you should give a few to the birds every day.  As training gets tougher, you should add a few more peanuts to birds’ diet.  As we approach qualifying races and the first race, we should increase the amount of peanuts each day for 5-6 days before a race.  The day of basketing or shipping, the birds should have free choice to eat as much as they want.  We always send the birds to the club (night of shipping) with full crops, full of food and water.  We are careful not to feed too close to the travel time to the club.  Some birds will vomit up food, which is of no value.  Give the birds time to eat and drink at the loft and time to rest on their perches before basketing and traveling to the club.  We like to keep our birds in the loft as long as possible before we go to the club.  They can rest and are not fighting in the club baskets. We place a few birds in each carrier when we travel to the club.  We like to give them plenty of room.  It is foolish to crowd the birds when you can take 2 carriers with plenty of room.

When the races are long and tough, and the birds are on the wing for several hours, the pigeons with large supplies of peanuts do not suffer from muscle loss or loss of weight.  Peanuts provide the energy to protect their muscles, to keep their proper weight and to stay in form to race another day.

John Glemser’s Young Bird Tips


Tips for young bird of John Glemser

Pigeon Young BirdsJohn puts the light 24 hours a day, the breeding lofts. It does this until May 1, and then the lights are turned off. "This is only my first hatch." are the Loft will be given away as soon as possible. Early bird bred, and John young team 50 birds. As soon as it has the same group at least 45 minutes per day flying, he begins the road to train them up to 15 miles.

After the birds were out of station 15 km, is the draw 9 and 10 flights and turn off the birds in the Loft. Clicking the full-body they molt. By turning off, takes every effort to turn them off. They start quickly and get a lot of molting baths high protein feed.

Hatch next flight is known they are not native to the second half of the season. The young birds are all training at this point every day for 35 miles. Twice a week the birds go 60 miles. When the other team, the team first intuition and saved for old birds to shutdown. If all this culling should do, and this time. Then all the birds are locked down. Six weeks before the first race is his race team training will begin again. It finds that after settling them train them miles 15 and then turn them off, taking all the effort that they begin their molt.

Is that a final molting before the start of the season. "Go with them when you first start them again. It does not distance lightly the the birds. This is the confidence that you are building them with many tosses. Build confidence and create the link close to the birds with fancier. Remember that the young birds are rookies; You are a trainer who teaches your team systematically. Once they get it, they will keep it for life. Your team and must respond to teaching. Don't push them too hard, and that they always remember and forget not to harm. "

John says he didn't use any one system, in particular. What he recommends is not at his Loft is a combination of different systems, which parts are appropriate to the loft and birds. He declares, "keep it simple after you run the system to stay with him until the end of the season. If you don't like the results, take the system off and run a new system. Save the change and try new and more ideas to the old system that works for you. "

Loft is 12 feet by 12 feet with all the air enters through the bottom and on the way to the top. Exhaust fans are on a roof in thermostat for 80 degrees. It retains this setting temperature all year round.

The first race of John 122 miles to his loft, but he didn't train to the station. Only, it moves to the location of the GPS 75 mile from its loft. After a young bird races that have started, it confirms that the birds driving tosses a longer training becomes only about 40 kilometer spot training, twice a week, the rest of the training is done by Loft flying. John says, you need to know the birds. You can understand what kind of shape they are healthy and how. It does this by watching his actions as they fly loft. Feed and water are the loft when they return from training on the road or the Loft. Routinely, the birds can feed at night, in case another late bird race or training. "I like to give a treat every time, whether it is a candy or peanut seed, which is the hand that feeds. I feel that is the best way to get to know your birds and help your bird to trust you. I believe that being a bond between a person and that they do well in the races. "

A healthy bird will fly for 1 hour or more without being chased. Super healthy ions for 1/2 fly, dip, dive to the sky, its elevator and hit, only to look around, dance to be back in the air. Spending time with your birds know them, they will tell you when they are ready to win. Always accompany your select your store first for the bird when you look at the birds before shipping, because this is the bird you are about to come.

Road training
At the beginning of the season of racing, road racing pigeons trains to condition birds. "The team needs to meet the long one or several short tosses. It depends on how they respond to what they receive loft. If you are racing in the top 10% of the Club, healthy, they I travelled every week. The Loft will let you know when those who will come first. Stop these birds to rest. Cock chickens are trained together. Going to the same location training, published 20 minutes apart. It may be the box to go short and for the next box. My main rule is to give them what I think they need ".

"Rich Underwood is my trainer, pigeon. Together, our goal is to determine the expected performance of the birds. " GPS location is used, and calculated the distance grew. When considering the weather conditions, and noting the distance, a very good estimate of the expected performance and timing for the birds can be. In this way, comparisons between the expected and actual speed performance easy to determine. He feels that it is important to train the birds are very similar to the actual racing conditions.

The vast majority of public auctions are credible events that provide an excellent opportunity for buyers and sellers to meet at a central location and conduct business. Also, they provide an excellent opportunity for buyers and sellers to arrive at the fair market value of the birds.

Pigeon Auction Categories:

1. Complete Sell Out: A loft sells all of its birds, clocks, pigeon equipment, etc. / Going out of business

2. Loft Reduction: A loft reduces its number of birds, but it will still actively participate in the sport.

3. Select or Special Auction: One or more fanciers select special birds from their best pigeons to offer to other fanciers.

4. Donation Auction: Several fanciers, as many as 25 or more, donate a special bird for a charity or fund raiser.

5. Race Auction: A Race, as part of its rules, will auction its Race birds.  The owner has no choice. All birds that finish in positions 1 to 50 go to auction. Usually a 50/50 SPLIT between the OWNER and SPONSORS of the Race.

THE OLD PHRASES: “YOU PAY YOUR MONEY AND TAKE YOUR CHANCES” or “CAVEAT EMPTOR” ( THE AGE OLD WARNING OF “LET THE BUYER BEWARE”) CERTAINLY APPLY TO ANY RACING PIGEONS PURCHASED AT AUCTION. There are many honest, reputable individuals, but also there are those who have larceny in their hearts, and those individuals will seek to use the auction to dump flawed products or birds.

In this article series we’re going to show you some helpful tips for purchasing birds at auctions. These tips will help you from being taken advantage of as well as helping you to avoid some pitfalls that many fanciers fall victim to.
