Wiley Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Fats are the most important source of energy for a pigeon imo, I would happily feed no carbs for a race, but I'd never send a pigeon without feeding plenty of fats regardless the distance. For me fat loading starts Monday evening, but the full effect kicks in from Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiley Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I’ll be honest I do not judge it they get the same feed every single week. Put it on another perspective is that the way I feed or fed is similar to an athlete on a no carb diet. What happens is and those that will have tried it will know is that for about two days u feel rubbish as the body is craving carbs. However once the body knows no carbs or little carbs will only be supplied the body realises fats will be its only energy source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neila Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Very interesting Ryan What kind of amounts would you feed of the fat based feed in the ration from say Tuesday for sprinting looking at your reply I guess it would be 100 per cent by Wednesday ? If so I guess it would have to measured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Monday would be a 1/4 fats, Tuesday & Wednesday 3/4 fats and so on, when I was sprinting every grain was measured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neila Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ok Wiley,so are you advocating a racing mixture thats high in fats to make up the 3/4 top up or is it a certain seed and if so what seeds contain lots of fats ,if it is peanuts they are rather expensive are there other options,cheers I buy VL energy mix £18 for 20kg but it lasts the season , I think bamfords and South feeds do a version Also of late I have been looking at the stuff Chris Gibson sells as they is just sunflower ,peanuts hemp etc I researched if it was cheaper to make my own and it isn't Have a search for northern powerhouse auctions his seed mix is on there cost more but I think it would be good for a small team flier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
