what is the protein level of soya?

[wilkins]

will have a check for you, i get from holland and barret mix it with oil then let it dry into corn over night when im breeding or after a hard race when i need to rebuil muscle

there is also whey powder but i used soya this time and was happy with the results

soya beans are high in protein

Brewers yeast on depurative after a race when they've had to work a bit, easier on their digestive system.

too much protein will be stored as fat,,  ie..protein can but turned into fat but fat cant be turned into protein.

protein is very good for repairing broken or weak muscles.

i give lots of peanuts every day(when racing) , when the birds come in from loft or training toss they get peanuts, thrown down b4 them.

peanuts will make ur birds more tame towards you and it will make them more contented to return home.

my best racing hen (now dead) was actually called peanut for her mad obsession towards them.

she would return from training or racing and jump up onto my arm for a peanut.

i use the powder and not the added fats early in the week, i use fat late in the week as peanuts are high in fat as well as protein

[Guest]

yes fat is essential for birds body fat thats what a distance bird uses last of all thats why when its very hard the bird comes home down in body

[wilkins]

i like the energy fat mix that vesalaga sell , plenty of sunflower in it

[Guest]

your right tony 45% thats high soya has 18% fat wilkins thats high aswell

[wilkins]

your right tony 45% thats high soya has 18% fat wilkins thats high aswell

 

is that in the soya bean or the powder, the holland and barret powder not the bean or milk is what i use

 

[wilkins]

frank

have alook at hollandandbarrett.com

search soya powder  the search is top left

then look at the powder on the left when they come up

 

superior in protein nutrition and amino acids , low in carbohydrate and fat
