PIGEON_MAN Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Hi all Will Glucose induce thirst in our pigeons or surpress it? Skull Used to give it to birds returning from a race,but they were in need of a drink then so not sure about your question.

Guest kev d Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 mine get it after training toss or after a race it gives them a quick boost also add some honey with it as well .
Guest IB Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 That's a very interesting question and my previous information (wrong) was that sugary drinks induce thirst, that's why the effects of drinking a can of juice are said not to last very long before you felt you needed more? I've copied a small part of an extract of a research paper on rats. Think it's very clear that glucose satifies thirst rather than creates it. NaCI is table salt, so the extract also has a bearing on the electrolyte debate:- Water, a known hydrator, decreased water intake without changing food intake. NaCl, a known dehydrator, decreased food and increased water intake. Glucose decreased food intake but also decreased water intake. NaCl satiety may be osmotic, but glucose, acts like a hydrator rather than a dehydrator.
