would you race on this mix?

[Guest strapper]

this is the mix im feeding my birds on, this i mixed up myself,the birds seem to be more energetic and seem to like this mix.

 

would you race on this mix?..or what would you add or take away from it to suit you?

 

the shine you see is 4 oils on it. sunflower oil/wheatgerm oil/garlic oil and cod liver oil.

which i put on 3 times a week.

 

 

[REDCHEQHEN]

It could do with more maize in it

[blackdog]

looks like a good high protein mix mate.

Far too much protein m8. Mix is good for rearing ybs , not flying them.JMO

[Guest strapper]

i usually have a lot more beans and maize in the mix.....but found the birds are more lethargic than they are now.

i forgot to add...peanuts are a BIG BIG favourite of mine...wouldnt be without them in racing. young and old.

plus i do add rice to the mixes at times.

i have been using rice as a trapping mix and they seem to love it.

if your winning on that mix dont change it

[schouwman71]

what you have to ask yourself is,how are the droppings,how long are they flying when you let them out,are they coming well from racing and how much do you feed them of the mix,if all the above are okay then i think they will come and fly well over 150mls.

Why all the different oils?. :-/

[Guest strapper]

Why all the different oils?. :-/

 

each oil has different qualities ...besides its mixed already in a bottle lol

[Roland]

Looks like a Buxton... bit heavy. Think it would be better just on the Monday after you've fed a higher protein, before you start mixing more carbs. JMO

[Guest southern and mason]

bit heavy 2 wot a use a use the oils lyk

[little sam]

No,

[Guest Greig the doo Drysdale]

No,

 

give reasons sam dont just say No explaine why

[Guest Rhondda RedFox]

Way too heavy, get rid of the beans!!!   Replace them with something lighter.

 

[Guest strapper]

i know a lot of fanciers who use a much heavier mix then this and have won nationals and multi fed wins.

ive always liked a good % of small seed type in my mixes.

 

anyone got a pic of what mix they use and why how does that suit your racing?

[Roland]

believe it's a slow transaction  over the week. Protein is a building block. Linseed is a laxative.

If toxins arepresent, barly linseed mix. Barly a blood purifyer and a laxative. Protien repairs tares and and builds muscles.

Now of course if a bird is flown out, chances are it has used some muscles as heat units, that's as a fuel. This means toxin. So to feed protien too soon would just make matters worse. have to cleanse the blood and toxins before you repair and build, other wise you would just be fueling the toxins. Week light feed and rest, when fluffed up on the roof top / perch it s telling you I need rest and toxins cleared normally. At least a week before muscles, tares and repairs can safely take place.... Built up then cards to get their system to store up fats etc. etc. etc.r

[Guest pigeon82]

i use this on thursdays and fridays then rest of the week i use supreme champion

[Guest mick bowler]

I'd feed any decent mix for racing, only difference would be i'd add barley depending what and when the races were, or give a handful of barley then when gone put the mix in.

 

But yes i would race on that mixture, with maybe a few peanuts day before basketing or in the morning mix day of basketing. Rice is great on warm days, oats are good for the longer races.

[Tony C]

2 parts that 1 part depurative 1 part maize would be more to my liking.

you say way to heavy, but  if this was  the only mix available we all had to feed our birds it would have to do.

[flyingteessider]

This looks like a decent economy mix to me out of season ,half a teaspoon of that half a conditioner bit of hemp thats what id do with that ,do they fly well on it
