I came across this whilst doing a bit of research and a few recent natural products that have become flavour of the month are listed along with a few others on this link . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antioxidants_in_food Effects of Antioxidants on lactic acid are signifigant and usefull to birds for racing. Different antioxidants scavenge different free radicals. There are antioxidants classified as water-based and those classified as oil-based. It is important to consume both types because they target different free radicals. For example, an oil-based free radical might attack the membrane of your cell because the cell wall is made up of fat. Remember, oil and water don’t mix.So, in order to protect your cell against these types of free radicals, you need oil-based antioxidants. On the other hand, there may be a water-based free radical in your bloodstream ready to attack one of your blood cells.Only a water-based antioxidant can keep this from happening.There are also antioxidants that work directly and those that work indirectly. You need both.Direct antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, neutralize free radicals. In this process, a direct antioxidant binds to a free radical, rendering it harmless and protecting cells from damage. Once the direct antioxidant reacts with a radical, the antioxidant is destroyed and cannot be effective again.Indirect antioxidants work as catalysts. They do not neutralize free radicals directly, but rather boost the body's own antioxidant systems. This gives them a broad range of activity, cycling over and over again, that removes many free radicals. This group of antioxidants stands ready to neutralize free radicals over a period of time. They continue to be effective even after the indirect antioxidants have left the body.

if they accept any union does that mean i can apply as a member ? and get a basket station in Scarborough

plenty of sense in last post get the agents out to do demos at club and hopefully get all your members using same system then can bulk order rings ectra and make secatarys job easier and save money to boot

you can give it a clean nest about a 6 weeks old they should be able to reach a perch some are quicker than others

well if birds are bought surely owner could make the buyer send a signed transfer form with payment then jobs a good un

they'll be fine cock will feed ybs but they may fall out been on there side , ybs should be feeding themselves after 21 days put a galley pot in for them they'll soon learn once feathered up beneath the wings there be ready for moving and they'll fly when there ready

its pretty simple get there loft numbers ectra if we were more like the continental fanciers and swapped ring cards much easier and more cost effective and less time consuming fot those in administration

Happy Birthday Square Peg and Kirky hope you both have a great day

Louella ensures they fill out all transfers themselves ok it incours a few £'s but no need to pay for the courier cost once reported saving more £££'s

my feed at the moment 80% wheat and 20% maples and ill increase the maples as the young birds on the nest get bigger i feed no maize as i dont want fat birds as maize is mainly stored as fat for the birds reserves so theres no need to have it in my birds diet untill i intend to train and race my birds
