BergerPearls No.1 can also be mixed into the grain feed with 10% as an alternative to separate feeding. Care should then be taken to ensure that the Pearls are consumed as evenly as possible.

As an alternative to use in drinking water, the products SymBiotic, VitalDrink and RecoverAmin Forte can also be administered together with the grain feed. However, practice has shown that water absorption is very good right from the start, which is why it is recommended to give them in drinking water.
Care plan for young pigeons Weaning protocol day 1-7
During the first few weeks after weaning, young pigeons have a particularly sensitive need for energy, building blocks (protein/amino acids/minerals), functional nutrients and, above all, stable intestinal health.
The following care plan describes a practical, systematically structured care programme that specifically supports the transition from parental care to complete self-regulation and controls the infection pressure in the herd.
Phase 1: Stabilisation (day 1-7)
In the first few days after weaning, the focus is on establishing a stable intestinal environment.
The digestive tract is still immature, the microbiome is unstable and the young pigeons react sensitively to stress.
BergerPearls No. 1 - daily
BergerPearls No. 1 are produced with about 3 g per young pigeon daily used.
The combination of high-quality energy, protein and functional coating specifically supports the development of the mucous membranes and immune system. At the same time, the functional components it contains help to create a stable intestinal environment and regulate digestion.
VitalDrink + RecoverAmin - daily
VitalDrink is mixed daily with 3 ml per litre of drinking water supplemented by RecoverAmin with 5 ml per litre.
The combination supports:
- Mucosal integrity
- Liver metabolism
- Immune function
- general metabolism
Especially in this sensitive phase, consistent use ensures stabilisation of the metabolic processes.
SymBiotic - daily
SymBiotic is used daily with 5 g per litre of drinking water used.
The pro- and prebiotic components it contains specifically promote the development of a stable microbiome and support the competitive exclusion of undesirable microorganisms.
A stable microbiome is the basis for digestion, immunity and resistance during this phase.
WaterControl - deliberately do not use
In the first few days, the use of WaterControl or other antimicrobial measures is deliberately avoided in order not to disturb the natural colonisation of the intestine.
Feeding and minerals
- Breeding feed continues to be fed unchanged
- Offer minerals and grit daily for free intake
Summary
This care concept provides targeted support for young pigeons in the most sensitive phase of their lives.
The focus is on gradually building up a stable intestinal environment, ensuring balance and preparing for subsequent stress.
Energy, amino acids, functional plant substances and probiotic components are specifically harmonised.
The result is stable, resilient young pigeons with optimum conditions for later racing performance.
