Subject: Discover how your pigeons can perform better.
Dear pigeon fanciers:Willem tells us: At the Dutch Open (pigeon racing fair), they spoke to a well know fancier that had very good pigeons. At the beginning of March he had moved his flying lofts because he had come into possession of more land.
Because of this change his pigeons flew very poorly in the first 7 races. So poorly he considered leaving the sport of pigeon racing.
He mentioned this at the club. The next day a sport friend and club member provided some help and gave him some good advice. This friend called me and asked if I could come over. It seemed that the lofts and the feeding methods were not right.
I gave him the necessary advice, on how to change the ventilation of his lofts. Besides the ventilation the feed for his racers was also adjusted
The rest of the season his pigeons flew tremendously. This resulted in several championships, several 1st prizes and 4 Teletext pigeons.
Now you are probably asking what advice did he give him?
I can tell you what was said, but it was advice specific to the particular situatio
I will briefly tell you what is important to know about the care of your pigeons.
How is a racing plan developed and why?
Fast recuperation after the race is the starting point of a racing plan. To accomplish fast recuperation the feed has to be adjusted. After recuperation the intestinal tract must be cleaned.
After this the important nutrients required for muscle repair must be absorbed. When the muscles are repaired and fed, we can fill the tank with energy for the next race.
How much energy does a pigeon use during a race?
During the seventies and eighties a variety of studies were done on pigeons. These were carried out at Universities such as Mannheim (Germany) and Guelph (Canada). Pigeons were flown in small wind tunnels.
The pigeons were fitted with an apparatus that fit over their beaks that measured the intake of oxygen and the discharge of carbon dioxide. This allowed for the precise calculation of the amount of energy used.
The results were a revelation for the researchers, because they learned that pigeons did not perform like humans and other mammals on carbohydrates, but mainly on fatty acids and that they used from 3 to 3 ½ grams per hour of flying time.
Which carbohydrates, which proteins and which fatty acids will give an optimal result?
When racing during the first half hour the carbohydrates will be used first, after this the pigeon changes over to burning fatty acids.
The most interesting carbohydrates for racing pigeons are those, which are gradually absorbed by the body. This ensures that less insulin is needed and the blood sugar levels dont spike as much.
These carbohydrates are absorbed better and more gradually and the pigeons can use them longer during the race. These carbohydrates are called amylopectin.
A pigeon flies fastest when burning carbohydrates. That is why these sugars are of great importance. They can fly fast longer, which provides a great advantage as they can arrive home sooner.
Which vitamins can we give and why?
There are two different groups of vitamins. They are the water soluble group (B and C) and the fat soluble group (A-D-E-K) of vitamins. The fat soluble groups are stored in the liver.
Too many of these vitamins will cause a loss of form although a shortage is also not desirable. An excess of the water soluble vitamins B and C will be eliminated with the droppings.
You can see this by the yellow or orange colour of the droppings. All vitamins have an important function in the body.
Which by-product can we use and why?
We can separate the by-products into those products which provide little or no energy, but increase or help maintain health and those that can prevent shortages.
Products that can influence health are garlic, onion, thyme, all types of tea, apple cider vinegar, and probiotics etc. Products that prevent shortages are vitamins, minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, selenium etc.
Besides these there are by-products that provide extra energy for the muscles and the energy supply, products such as animal proteins and oils, fatty acids and specific sugars.
How much do I have to feed to put up supper results at just the right time?
There are various methods used to peak your pigeons at just the right time. One of the best methods is still the curve method. The first part of the week the birds are fed enough but not too much.
After cleaning the intestinal system the muscles are fed with proteins after which the feed is changed.
It becomes a high carbohydrate and high fat feed.
The last days of the week the pigeons are fed enough so that the pigeons will eat very little on shipping day (one night in the basket), and if this is the case than they have been prepared optimally for the race.
How can we change and adapt the feed so that our pigeons will stay healthier and also perform better
The new scientific methods of feeding are designed so that they are less taxing on the birds digestive system; especially legumes (peas) tax the pigeons during the breeding and racing seasons.
We can choose to feed other easier to digest proteins, which produce fewer droppings and greatly reduce the burden on the pigeons digestive system. The same can be said for carbohydrates and fatty acids.
This is some of the advice I have given, but many questions come in daily on the care and maintenance of our pigeons and other problems we can have with them.
It is impossible to personally answer all these questions. That is why an E-book (in PDF format) has been put together, with all the best articles that I have written, translated from the original Dutch to English. To be precise, there are in total thirty-seven articles included in the e-book.
I hope that in this way I can answer many of the questions you may have and that as a racing pigeon fancier you can use the material to your advantage and better prepare your pigeons for the races, leading to better performances and giving you more pleasure with our beautiful sport.

Mike Lubbe Kimberley South Africa, Hi Peter, I can truly say that a whole new world opened for me after reading some of the articles your father wrote. The condition of my pigeons improved a lot and we are entering the moult now and I am waiting for the racing season with very high hopes. I cannot say at this moment what the racing season will bring, but looking at the improvement at this stage, it will be good. The feeding scheme that your father suggested will be implemented 100 percent this year and I will let you know about the progress.
Patrick Murray, I think the articles and your fathers Nutritional Advice For your Pigeons Ebook are an excellent resource and very useful to all pigeon fanciers, with a lot of unheard of details regarding the feeding of pigeons use of alternative feeding details regarding the use of byproducts such as Spirulina and Chlorellia, etc. I feel that from the additional knowledge obtained from reading your fathers articles and the eBook and implementing some of these practises into use with our pigeons overall health has improved over the past year. The use of some of the byproducts that can be used with our pigeons, as well as some of the preparation techniques and feeding regimes discussed for the longer races. We did not race any young birds in 2011 due to work commitments, but our old birds flew very well, being top prize winners in our club for old birds.

An interview with Willem Mulder.
Why did you write these articles in this book?
I have taken various courses on animal nutrition at Barneveld. Almost 15 years ago I met a customer that had devoted himself to learning all he could on racing pigeon feeds and feeding.
His name was Horst Collenberg and he is from Haltern, Germany. Horst was always busy carrying out scientific studies on his own pigeons and by carrying out various tests he had accumulated a wealth of knowledge.
Later, tests were carried out at many German racing pigeon lofts. Horst has taught me a lot over all the years I have known him. I have also read and studied many scientific reports in the field of nutrition. In the Netherlands I have also carried out many experiments and have taken theoretical knowledge and put it into practice.

What can fanciers learn from these articles in this book?
The purpose of these articles is to give the fanciers information that will help them make fewer mistakes. This will help them to improve the management of their racing pigeons and help take the sport entire sport to a higher level.
What can you learn from the articles?
It is important to know how a racing (feeding) plan is developed and why. Besides that it is important to know which and how much energy a pigeon uses. Pigeons are top athletes and we have to treat them appropriately.
Just like human athletes we have to know: when to feed carbohydrates, when to feed protein, when to add fatty acids to the diet. After the question is: which carbohydrates, which proteins and which fatty acids, in order to achieve top race results. It is in these areas that many fanciers make mistakes and there is a lot of room for improvement.
When I give seminars the fanciers present learn about the care of their pigeons during the breeding season, the winter, the race season and the moulting season. Which vitamins should we use and why, which by-products and why, how fatty acids are used, the amount of feed to give at the right time to influence success etc.

Name some benefits I will gain from reading these articles?
The pigeon fancier after reading these articles will be better informed and will probably make fewer mistakes. He will adjust the way he feeds his feathered athletes and this will stay healthier. This is my goal. My slogan or mission is: to give pigeons a better life.
However short the life of our animals may be, if they were happy and healthy throughout, that is better for the animal and is something the fancier can savour.
