I try to keep it as simple as possible, 50/50 depurative - w/hood mix all week. If you train heavy mix brewers yeast on the food a couple of times a week. As the race distance (time on the wing) increases drop the % of depuative fed at the later end of the week. Thursdays give them 75% of their ration (in other words keep them a bit short), Friday feed them half their days ration as this insures they'll take a good drink on board on day of basketing. All being well they should've digested Fridays feed by the time you basket them up.

how much food per day for the yb's mon-sun dring racing.

I feed till they start leaving the barley. The only exception to this is on day of return from a race when they're fed around 3/4 oz each.
