As an alternative to separate feeding, BergerPearls No.1 can also be mixed with 5-7% in the grain feed. Care should then be taken to ensure that the Pearls are consumed as evenly as possible.
| Water | + 5g / 1 litre SymBiotic | + 5g / 1 litre SymBiotic | + 5ml / 1 L VitalDrink + 5ml / 1 L RecoverAmin Forte | + 5ml / 1 L VitalDrink + 5ml / 1 L RecoverAmin Forte | + 5ml / 1 L VitalDrink + 5ml / 1 L RecoverAmin Forte |
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 15-21
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 3: Stabilisation and preparation (day 15-21)
The young pigeons become more active, explore their surroundings and begin their first free flights.
The focus shifts from stabilisation to resilience and preparation for later requirements.
BergerPearls No. 1 - reduced
Use with about 2 g per young pigeon daily, in order to continue to ensure the basic supply and at the same time promote the animals' own performance.
VitalDrink + RecoverAmin - 2-3× per week
Continued targeted use to support:
- Metabolism
- Regeneration
- Immune function
SymBiotic - 1-2× per week
Reduced use to stabilise the microbiome and support intestinal health in the long term.
WaterControl - regular
WaterControl is now used regularly to keep the infection pressure in the stock low.
Particularly useful for:
- first free flights
- Contact with other pigeons
- changing environmental conditions
Feeding and minerals
- Transition to young pigeon or travelling feed possible
- Continue to offer minerals and grit daily
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.
