Depurative and conditioner mixes

[Guest joshdonlan]

Hi

Is there any difference between the 2 or are they the same? What is the best depurative mix? Is it red band?

 

Thanks

Depurative is usually barley and white dari? Part of widowhood feeding system, though some feed it during winter to keep birds' weight down. Some feed it after the race as a tit-bit before the main meal, to allow the bird's digestion to get back to normal..

 

Conditioning mix is usually 100% small seeds, again a tit-bit, a treat after racing, before the main meal to allow the bird's digestion to get back to normal..

forget  buying depuritive, just buy a good mix  and a bag of barley give more barley  or less  to suit  the racing  if you want to buy any thing  buy  straight  maze  add  when  needed  and  thats all  feed  maze one day sprint  2 -3 days for mid   and the last five for distance

yes josh,,there is a big difference, depurative contains mostly barley. a little wheat ,dari, linseed [getting lesser and lesser now looking at my mix ] this is normaly used as a so-called light mix , easily digested after a race or to keep their weight to a good racing weight,

but a conditioner [red band is one make ] normally contains many heating  seed type grains such as hemp etc , which by feeding too much can bring on a kinda false condition, but great used as a tit-bit or whilst trapping them,,  as they do love this mix

Josh if its for the rollers I use deurative instead of just straight wheat and the birds do well on it. I think the bucktons has wheat, barley, red and white dari, naked oats and saflower seed.
