Guest TIMBARRA LOFTS Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 have u seen any difference using it i used it last season and never saw any 9 times out of 10 there is no difference in using any specific additive... give your pigeons nothing and they will look just the same...
Merlin Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Well regarding Brewers Yeast,it must be that 1 time out of 10,because personally I think there is not a finer additive you can use,especially when racing the birds,I moisten the feed with Pea Nut Oil,then add Yeast,birds will almost talk to you for it l o l
Guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 If you don't want YBS then put it on with oregano oil for your YBs. For old birds cod liver oil, and it should'nt be left long enough to go rancid, try a short fast before giving it them.
greenlands Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Years ago when we got hot summers I use to show bugerigars, I stopped using CLO for two reasons,one because of it's smell,it attracted cats at night.Two because it went rancid with the heat.I used Scotts Emulsion but I don't know if it's still on the market.I now use ground nut oil or garlic plus thendry out with brewers yeast by Natural.Lindsay
Guest chrisss Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 where can you get peanut oil or hemp oil and is the stuff that you get for humans ok for birds?,as i know most of it is
Guest Taylors Choice Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Carr's do a pure hemp oil product http://pigeons.taylorschoice.co.uk/products/163616_turbo_boost_hemp_oil_-_carrs_500ml.php
Guest chrisss Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 thats the way to do it!!! nice one cheers ;D ;D ;D
greenlands Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 where can you get peanut oil or hemp oil and is the stuff that you get for humans ok for birds?,as i know most of it is Any local store,asda,morrisons or any that you use,groundnut oil.
wilkins Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Any local store,asda,morrisons or any that you use,groundnut oil. with these like other oils i would think there are different quality , take cold pressed rape seed oil against supermarket veg oil which contains a lot of 2nd grade rape seed oil
Merlin Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 where can you get peanut oil or hemp oil and is the stuff that you get for humans ok for birds?,as i know most of it is Chrisis you will get the both of them on supermarket shelves,much cheaper I imagine than from the pigeon specialists,its where I get most of my pigeon "additives"
jimmy white Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 This has probably been done before but does anyone use brewers yeast for yb seen the tablets but where do i get the powder,is it just yeast sachets you get from the supermarket or something else. i have found in the past that brewers yeast is a great supplement for racing pigeons,,,, yes, you can get plain brewers yeast tablets, from some chemists,,, [carefull you dont get yeast-vite,,,this contains caffiene] powder, or tablet, much the same,, but using the tablets, are handy for gently handling the pigeons and checking them over at the same time ,

kev01293 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 done excactly the same as u chriss and got the tablets and crushed them down into a powder (i used a spoon and bowl) worked out cheaper too kev
chichichi Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 we use levulac,,, top stuff,,, but hard to get hold of in this country.. beer yeast,, milk proteins and wheat flakes.. add to corn with 9 oils . best of luck to all for racing ant
kev01293 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 i get half a bucket of corn and mix 1 teaspoonfull of wheatgerm oil into it,then i crush 8 brewers yeast tablets into a fine powder and add onto corn before giving it all a good mix up in the bucket,some use different oils like garlic or cod liver but i use wheatgerm oil kev
