Malt sprouts, and by extension, other sprouted grains, are high in protein and some vitamins at the time of sprouting, and once they get used to them, birds relish them and will eat them avidly. Hulled oats are the same as oat groats. As long as they are cooked first, soybeans can be fed to pigeons as well as to other classes of livestock. Don't feed raw soybeans to any livestock, including pigeons, because of the anti-nutritive substances they contain. Cooking destroys these substances and renders these beans suitable for feeding. Whey powder is listed for informational purposes, because it is high in lactose, a sugar that is a source of nutrient for "friendly" bacteria that are added to drinking water or feed, in plain yogurt or commercially available probiotics. These bacteria use the lactose as a source of nutrient, a by-product of which is lactic acid. In turn, the lactic acid helps to acidify intestinal contents and to create a hostile environment for unfriendly bacteria such as paratyphoid organisms, or disease- producing stains of E.coli, among others

im guessing in the interest of long distance racing,I personally wouldnt but everyone is different, i just dont think i would have the patience to cook the soya beans. The sport to me is a hobby and something that should be done in leisure and enjoyment, so personally couldnt see myself cooking the soya beans then feeding, id prefere to stick to my usual widowhood mix, with some peanuts, and plenty of sunflower seeds.

some people put peas and beans in normal water, and feed them when they start to germinate otherwise known as producing a little shoot. Also some poeple leave there beans and peas two years before feeding as there lead to believe to contain alot of acid untill they mature!
