BergerPearls No.1: How a single pearl is revolutionising racing pigeon feeding

The modern Racing pigeon breeding places ever greater demands on our feathered athletes. Whether in the Racing seasonduring the Mauser or in the Breeding, Pigeons should deliver top performance and stay healthy at the same time. To achieve this, breeders often resort to countless additional products: Probiotics for drinking water, vitamin powders in the feed, oils and grain mixtures. This routine not only costs time and labour, but also requires a lot of knowledge.

This is exactly where BergerPearls No.1 and revolutionises the Feeding: A single, innovative feed supplement combines Energydigestive support and Immune defence in small pearls. With just a handful of these "power pearls" a day, the pigeons get everything they need for a healthy diet. Healthperformance and fast regeneration.

The secret behind the pearl: gentle production for maximum effect

The key to the effectiveness of BergerPearls No.1 lies in its unique Pelletising process. Unlike conventional pellets or extruders, which are pressed under high pressure and heat, the production process is gentle and without any loss of nutrients. As a result, sensitive active ingredients such as live probiotics, vitamins and herbal extracts remain fully active.

Each pearl contains the complete combination of nutrients and active ingredients and is so small that it is ideal for mixing in with the normal grain feed. Your pigeons instinctively like to eat the pearls, as the base consists of flavoured peanut kernels. This process guarantees that all ingredients are protected until they are ingested by the pigeon and work optimally can.

Concentrated power in every pearl: unique ingredients

The true innovative power of BergerPearls No.1 is based on a large number of synergistically harmonised components.   The product is not a random mix, but a well thought-out overall concept that combines various mechanisms of action to support the health of the pigeons holistically. 

  • Highly digestible energyThe chopped peanut kernel base provides highly digestible crude fat and protein. These nutrients are crucial for rapid muscle recovery and the stamina required for long flights.
  • Healthy digestionAn intact intestinal microbiome is essential for the vitality of your pigeons. BergerPearls No.1 contains selected Probiotics (beneficial bacterial cultures) and Prebiotics (special dietary fibres as "food" for the microbiome). This combination stabilises the intestinal flora, displaces harmful germs and improves the absorption of nutrients. Regular daily administration ensures a continuous supply.
    Extra advantage in breeding: Studies show that parent birds supplied with probiotics produce more immunoglobulins in their crop milk. The young pigeons thus receive immune protection while still in the nest and grow up to be more resistant. This will benefit your entire breeding programme in the long term.
  • Natural immune booster: A strong Immune system is vital for racing pigeons, especially in the Racing season. The pearls are based on two natural components:
    Beta-glucans and Colostrum. Beta-glucans from yeast "wake up" the defence cells and make them more alert. Colostrum, the antibody-rich first milk, provides additional immunoglobulins that directly neutralise pathogens.
  • Protection against harmful germs: MCT oils (medium-chain fatty acids) act as a natural protection against germs by specifically breaking down the envelopes of pathogens such as clostridia, E. colisalmonella or streptococci in the intestine without affecting the beneficial intestinal bacteria. This creates a antibiotic-free protection from digestive disorders and infections, especially during periods of stress.
  • Essential micronutrients: The product provides a broad spectrum of Vitamins (A, D3, E, C) and chelated Trace elements. "Chelated" means that the minerals are bound to organic carriers, which means they are absorbed particularly well in the intestine. These vital substances support countless bodily functions, from intact mucous membranes and strong bones to robust growth and glossy plumage.
  • Detoxification for a safe gut: Toxin binder such as bentonite and clinoptilolite act like sponges, absorbing harmful substances and excess fluid in the digestive tract. This relieves the liver and significantly reduces the risk of indigestion or "wet faeces".

The following table provides a detailed overview of the main groups of active ingredients and their benefits:

Active ingredient groupFunction & benefit
Energy & protein base (peanut kernels)Provide highly digestible energy and protein for endurance and muscle recovery.
Essential active ingredients (vitamins, trace elements)secure metabolic processes, strengthen the immune system and ensure health and performance
Intestinal health (pro- & prebiotics)Stabilise the microbiome, promote beneficial bacteria and displace pathogens.
Selective protection (Medium-chain fatty acids)Have a selective antimicrobial effect against harmful germs without disturbing the intestinal flora.
Immune defence (beta-glucans, colostrum)Activate and modulate the body's own immune system for a faster response.
Nutrient utilisation (Digestive enzymes)Improve the absorption of nutrients from the forage.
Detoxification (Toxin binder)Bind harmful substances and excess moisture, relieve the liver and reduce diarrhoea.

Science meets practice: The unbeatable advantage for breeders

BergerPearls No.1 makes the Everyday feeding simpler and more effective. The concept means that a single product performs the functions of many separate supplements. Instead of measuring out several doses every day, you simply add one portion of the pearls to the food without missing out on the advantages and benefits of the many different products such as probiotics, conditioner powders, herbal extracts such as oregano oil blends, MCT preparations, immune boosters, multivitamins and others. Rather, the Feeding clean, simple and fast. Beginners benefit from the fact that their pets are fully catered for without complex feeding plans. Professionals appreciate the time saved and the certainty that no important nutrient or active ingredient is forgotten.

The pigeons usually accept BergerPearls No.1 from the very first day and favour it after just a few feedings. Daily feeding ensures a constant level of functional components in the intestines, which means that the pigeons show more stable vitality and are less susceptible to diseases. In the long term, this feeding is also very Cost-efficientas fewer individual products are required and healthier pigeons mean fewer losses in the long term. Whether in the Racing seasonin the resting phase, during the Mauser or to the BreedingWith this all-in-one solution, you always feed optimally. The result is more resilient flocks and more consistent flight performance, as only perfectly healthy pigeons can realise their full potential.

The pearls strengthen intestinal health, the immune system and regeneration through a synergistic combination of probiotics, beta-glucans, MCT oils and other functional ingredients.
